So, here I am, embarrassed and sheepish, telling you that the price on the buckets, including tax, is: $53.50 per bucket. And that is the final price. Sorry about the goof.
And since we're on the topic of buckets:
Our deadline for ordering buckets is Next Wednesday, March 17th, 2010. Seems like a lucky day, right? It is. You get to be more prepared, and so do I!
Please get your orders for your buckets in. This way our bucket adventure doesn't last forever. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Let's talk recipes now. I copied these recipes from Meridian magazine. Meridan magazine is publishing recipes that use food storage. I'd like to try out a couple this week.
If you want to check it out for yourself, their website is: www.meridianmagazine.com
If you're willing to help, make one of these recipes too.. and give me feedback. If we love it, it'll go in the cookbook we're building. If we hate it, it gets thrown out!
So I'll cook these and let you know what kind of feedback we have... :)

In a separate mixing bowl, continue working on the muffins. Combine butter powder, 1/4 c water, and sugar. Cream together until smooth.
Prepare eggs and beat well. Combine with flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into creamed mixture, slowly adding milk as well. Fold in blueberries.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. To finish the streusel topping, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in the prepared butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffin batter.
Bake muffins at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring muffins from the pan to a wire cooling rack. Serve warm.
