OK.. I hope this will make you lol if you're not having a good day. Mine has been one of feeling powerless but just accepting it. 

So here goes.. 

I thought I might help the alcoholic in my life and myself to eat a little healthier. We both like desserts but they are often high fat and high sugar and we're beginning to pack on the pounds. So I found a recipe for muffins that would allow me to use prunes as a substitute for oil or butter. It really brought the calories and fat down a lot!  

I baked the muffins and they were moist, tasty and flavorful.  We agreed that didn't miss the butter or oil. I stored them in a plastic container and they stayed moist over a few days. Then I thought I would do something nice for him and pack his lunch for work. Since he was enjoying the muffins, I opened the plastic container and took a few to pack with his lunch. They had a sweet fragrant fruity smell but I thought nothing of it. Later in the day I went back to the plastic container to take a muffin for myself. I thought to myself, wow these almost smell like booze. I took a bite and the taste was now a little different and not too appealing to me. I thought these muffins are going bad and I threw them out. My alcoholic comes home from work and asks if I had any those muffins today. I said I threw them out, they smelled and tasted a little funny. He says he threw them out too and that he thought they smelled like booze and that the prunes must have fermented LOL I said, "Oh, geez!!" So there I was trying to do a good thing and I end up giving him boozy muffins lol. Doh!  Yep, when you cook with prunes, chit happens.  TT
