Dear Muffin,
Oh how you must hate me for neglecting you so!
I admit I was distracted by the winsome charms of the seductive cupcake and had almost forgotten all about you. Almost.
If it were not for Bill Granger's cheeky smile leaping out at me from the pages of his Holiday cookbook, I might never have tasted your beautiful pear chunks and crunchy pecan crumble topping.
Can you ever forgive me?

Why don't men use sexy lines like that on us rather than 'is that a ladder in your stockings or a stairway to heaven?'
