I'm just wondering if "Mexican" vanilla is essential. I mean, if I use "American" vanilla I got at Macey's, will the muffins not work?

Mrs. L! I think you're the only other reader under the sun besides me...An honor. I need your cookie recipe, and some pics of them all fancy-like. I'll do a spotlight on JMaddL's culinary prowess. You're an inspiration.

Did you check out the blog where the cannery muffins came from? It is Klassic. Cut from the same cloth as the pregnancy in a pool blog.
