Two minutes to midnight feast

At Magog Muffins we signed up to Blog Action Day - bloggers around the world drawing attention to climate change as the world tries to decide what we need to do about it. We have timed this at two minutes to midnight on blog action day, as the climate clock is ticking and we are, metaphorically speaking, already at two minutes to midnight.

Our contribution is muffins with a low carbon footprint. Eggs produced within a few hundred yards of our kitchen. Flour grown and ground in our county. Butter from cows grazed in the county. Apples, carrots and whatever else is in season grown and picked from our own garden or those of friends. And where we can't source them locally our ingredients are organic and fairly traded. So enjoy your midnight muffin feast - guilt-free.

Sweetness and Bright

Almost shocked by the sweetness of East Anglian Carrots at the moment - so fresh, so crisp, so scrumptious. Low carbon footprint too, with such a short time and distance from harvest to home.

Combined in a muffin with a sprinkle of blue poppyseed they are September sweetness personified. These guys don't need cream cheese or vanilla to feel complete. They laugh in the face of sugar.

(Buy extra carrots though, as they seem to disappear between front door and kitchen, running the gauntlet of friends and family. The Beagle is complaining too - they are even munching down the carrot tops that are normally her perogative).
