Let me know if you add something fun to the muffins. I am a fan of muffins. They are quite forgiving of my various experiments and blunders, and don't require as much commitment as, say, cake.<br /><br />LSM: They certainly were yummy. I wish you could have had some.<br /><br />Tanita: I'm glad Ninnian/Mungo/Kentigern gets so much STUFF. He'd make a great action figure. Speaking of fresh ginger root, that's what the muffins need... a triple-ginger onslaught.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-66505361916217434112011-09-18T17:09:08.397-07:002011-09-18T17:09:08.397-07:00Every time I hear St. Ninian's, I think of the...Every time I hear St. Ninian's, I think of the church in the Redwall series...come to think of it, I'm sure the abbey mice would've loved these ginger muffins too!Lisa Songhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846986048923143237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-5997606414493213642011-09-18T01:08:25.584-07:002011-09-18T01:08:25.584-07:00Ah!

He's called Kentigern in England and Wales, and Mungo here in Scotland, from the bastardized (aka Brythonic) Welsh for fy nghu meaning "my dear(one)." He was apparently the sixth apostle (whose?) and started the church in Scotland.<br /><br />He's lovely, and depicted like St. Francis with a bird and a fish (and a bell and a ring and a tree, DO NOT ASK) and isn't penitential and dry at all, normally, so well done to you and your friend to making the muffins a bit better!!!<br /><br />I have a fresh root of ginger in the fridge and (now that I've blown off the Yolen Luncheon I was supposed to attend) nothing but time....tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-9018918059666309672011-09-17T15:57:28.429-07:002011-09-17T15:57:28.429-07:00Yum.Yum.Lone Star Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339475499304565638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-57711729218451627312011-09-17T08:31:50.688-07:002011-09-17T08:31:50.688-07:00These sound yummy, Farida!
