My husband and I recently returned from a trip with friends.\u00a0 We got together for brunch to sort through the 5,500+ photos and video clips we\u2019d taken between the 5 of us.\u00a0 Thank goodness for digital cameras.<\/p>\n
Actually, I remember when I moved to Venezuela in 1990 for a year, I took a lead bag filled with film rolls and purchased more along the way.\u00a0 The developed photos and the cartridges that still needed to be processed were probably a good 10 pounds of my luggage weight when I returned.\u00a0 Today, I wouldn\u2019t even know where to begin if I wanted to go back through the slides and negatives.<\/p>\n
Technology has simply changed the way I manage media.\u00a0 Not so much with food.\u00a0 When it comes right down to it, a simple measuring cup and spoons, a mixing bowl, and some elbow grease get me through most of my baking endeavors.<\/p>\n
In any case, knowing that going through the pictures might take us a while, we made sure to have food on hand \u2013 eggs, sausage, muffins, and mimosas.<\/p>\n
A two-pound package of bacon, that I\u2019d only made it half-way through when making white chicken chili earlier in the week, as well as a chunk of sharp cheddar, some green onions, and a craving for hot bread were the inspiration for these muffins.<\/p>\n
