Show Me Good Land is a quiet book.  It was intended to be.  A quiet book for smart readers.

The drawback to this strategy is that quiet books do not generate frenzy.  They just don't, and that's okay.  It has been a year since the book's release, and to mark that anniversary as part of the Maine Women Write effort, I will appear on the MBPN radio show "Maine Calling" with Keith Shortall this week.  Thursday, March 29 at 12:15, live.

Here is a link to the show.

Public radio listeners are my demographic.  They tend to get the concept of the book more than many other groups, and I am grateful to be part of their programming.

When Marjorie Standish bills these as perfect blueberry muffins, she's not using hyperbole.  This recipe yields a consistent, tasty blueberry muffin each time I bake them. 

Marjorie makes the recipe complicated, when really, I just mix the ingredients all together in a single bowl.  The trick, I think, is the lemon juice. 

Again, just dump it all into a bowl.

And then into a muffin pan.

425 degree oven for 20 minutes or so.

And yum.  Yum, yum.

Challenge:  What is one element of your life that is consistently satisfying?
