‘Molasses Muffins’ Made Their Day
In the news, the McLean family broke their sugar fast of January three days ahead of schedule when Dennis, Ruth, and their son Ben came home from a shopping trip with a gallon of vanilla ice cream, chocolate chocolate chip muffins and two gallons of milk. Of course, chocolate muffins raised the question of, “Can we have sugar now?”
“Those are molasses muffins,” Dennis said, upon being questioned.
After dinner, however, muffins were divided and the ice cream brought out of hiding to say that yes, this sugar fast is over, and yes, it did end early contrary to former assertions.
Today, the family enjoyed treats from England and Scotland. Their English neighbor spent the holidays in England, and brought them back chocolates (made in Ireland, actually), some other kind of candy, real Scottish shortbread, and Lemon Curd and Beetroot Chutney. All were much appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.
You know what is strange? What it... 
Yay! Life without sugar is lacking it’s sweetness
Did you know the Scotts orginally came from Ireland?
