They smell like........victory.
Or heaven. Take your pick.
Maine is known for blueberries. My sweetie absolutely adores them and would happily sit down with a giant bucket of 'em, eating till he's stuffed and his clothes are stained with that juice that will never come out in the wash.
One of these days, we'll plant some blueberries around our house so we can have a constant supply to feed his addiction. I think 5 or 6 ought to do it, right?
I'll save the blueberry waffles and pancakes for another time. But for now, here's a recipe that will make your house smell amazing in the morning. You've never had so many blueberries in one muffin before!

Maine......Makin' Whoopie (Pies, that is....)
Lately they've been dubbed the new cupcakes, or the new cake pops. What we are basically talking about are two cake-like cookies, sandwiching the frosting of your choice.
So, of course, somewhere along the line they got dubbed "pies". (Don't get me started on "where's the cake in cheesecake?")
Most normal people make them with chocolate cookies and vanilla frosting, but.....why be normal? So I tried a carrot cake version with cream cheese frosting innards.
Ooooooooh, yeah.
Me & my sweetie liked the whole package.
Boychild preferred the cake part. Girlchild the frosting. Should have just tossed them one and let them divvy it up, I guess.
They almost overshadowed the lobster mac n'cheese. Me & my sweetie liked it. My sweetie even went back for seconds. (Think a cheesy alfredo sauce, but you switch out the linguine for mafalda pasta and add some tasty lobster bits. Yum!)
Since it didn't come out of the familiar blue box, of course the kids wouldn't touch it.
Sigh.
At least there's always the "five reliable" foods we can count on in a pinch to feed 'em, right? ;)
But if you would like to enjoy some whoopie with YOUR sweetie, here goes....
