Best blueberry muffin evar!
Since I seem to rarely blog, especially when out of town, it should b quite clear by the fact that I am blogging about this muffin that it’s awesome.
I’m at the airport in Pittsburgh right now. I waited too long to get the complimentary breakfast in the concierge lounge at the hotel, so I decided to just get something at the airport. Typically this is a bad decision. Today it really paid off. I went to Au Bon Pain, since I hate the coffee shop they have here at the airport. I was just going to get a croissant and coffee, but for some reason the blueberry muffins just looked so good. I don’t know what it was about them that first caught my eye. They were behind a transparent plastic, so the image of them wasn’t clear. One thing that perhaps did make them stand out the odd shape. They were really more square that they were round. If this was done by Au Bob Pain as a marketing ploy, it very well may have worked in my case. I went ahead and put one in my bag, even though I was just expecting your typical dry, bland blueberry muffin.
When I go to my table, I even ate the croissant first. To be honest, it was mediocre at best. I am picky about my croissants. I almost didn’t even eat the muffin. But I did. I was hungry. Boy, am I glad I did. This was one awesome muffin. It had a very thin layer of crispiness covering the inner goodness. It was very moist and fluffy inside, just as it should be. It was also packed full of blueberries. There had to be at least half again as many as you get with your typical muffin. In all honesty, as I sit here about twenty minutes after eating it, I can only think of one thing wrong with it. That one thing is the fact that it’s gone.
I think I’ll stop blogging now and go get another one.
