#MuffinMonday



I love muffins. I especially love mini-muffins. I have no good reason for loving mini-muffins except it feels like I can eat more and justify it because they are "mini." HA!

I'm not the only one who loves mini-muffins...

My friend Jennifer makes these GREAT muffins simply called "Brown Sugar Muffins" and was kind enough to share the recipe with me years ago. They are a huge hit in my family, the redheads have even requested them as their birthday treat! What I love about them, okay all muffin recipes, is they can be big or mini. 

So for this #MuffinMonday I'll pay it forward and share the recipe, enjoy!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
