... or the "Blueberry Boy Bait" cake recipe that won an award long ago in a national baking contest. I had a duck, a "TV cooking celebrity" said duck eggs were richer than chicken eggs, Maizie was a rescue but I'd never tasted her eggs... so of course I just barreled right in and used a few! It sure LOOKED right... but I wasn't raised eating duck eggs and, omigosh, they were so gamy compared to chicken eggs! All those berries, flour and butter wasted... the robins ate gourmet that week. I've set my share of storebought toasting bagels on fire, even thought of creating a cute little bagel cemetary in the yard. Not feeling "schadenfreude," just sympathy and laughter with you, on a Sunday morning. RIP, poor little loaves and cookies, we knew ye well!
