My Mother didn't use Cupcake Papers

My morning Routine includes making something that my family can take with them for breakfast. This morning I am making muffins, blueberry muffins.
I pulled out the muffin tin and began. Muffin papers, where were the muffin papers? ah...I found them in the back of the baking shelf.
What would I do without them? They cut down a lot of work. They sure helped with the clean up. It was certainly a nice container to hold the wonderful blueberry muffins.
My mother did not use muffin papers. hum... her muffins were the " Best ". So sweet and wonderful on those cold snowy mornings, as we were getting ready for school.
Nothing to throw away. You didn't have to peel anything and have all of those scrumptious crumbs wasted.
Her loving hand worked the shortening around all of the muffing tin cups.
Each one perfectly covered and awaiting the wonderful mixture.
Golden Brown, golden Brown on the top and on the Sides, with the crispy texture embracing it.
My mom never complained about the time that she spent cleaning the muffin tin. She saved money, she even saved trees.
Her muffins were contained by all of the love and time that she so willing gave to us.
Mom I love you!
