Nanny's Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins + An Award

Here's one of my favorite muffin recipes, handed down to me, by my dear godmother. She was well known for her delectable baked goods and also made these fabulous muffins with blackberries. I have many memories of going blackberry picking with her, as well. Both cest bon, cher, and perfect with a hot cup of my favorite "Community" brand coffee or tea! Enjoy!

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal

1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 cup buttermilk

Some time ago, I was presented with the "Life is Good Award", by my dear friend, Eddie Bluelights. Merci beaucoup, cher, for this special award! He is the author of the very entertaining blogs, Clouds and Silvery Linings, and Plato's Procrastinations, each representing a side of his dual personality! He is also the host of the popular "Sunday Roast", where he is merciless in roasting his fellow bloggers, while at the same time, honoring them. Please do visit him, when you get a chance.
In order to accept this award, I must answer the 10 questions below and pass the award to six fellow bloggers.

1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing it that way; if you are not anonymous do you wish you had started out anonymously so you could be anonymous now? 
I chose to use my first name only, because you never know who is lurking out there, and it's worked out very well.

2. Describe one incident that shows your inner stubborn side.
It would have to be the time that I refused to obey my seventh grade teacher and got suspended from school, because of it.

3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the face in the mirror?
Big green eyes and usually a smile. :)

 4. What is your favorite summer cold drink?
A frozen Pina Colada.

 5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?
Go dancing!

 6. Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life? What is it?
Yes, I want to publish my Cajun cookbook that I've been working on for years! 

7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever, the class shy person, or always ditching school? Describe who you were if not one of these.
I was the "Ann Landers" of the class. Everyone came to me for advice on everything from their love life to their homework.

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your life, what do you see?
When my daughter walked down the aisle on her wedding day.

 9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people or events?
It all depends on my mood, and the subject of the post. 

10. If you had the choice to sit and read or talk on the phone, which would you do and why?
I'm not a phone person and I love to read, so it would have to be "read".

WHEW! Gee Eddie, this must be what it feels like to get tortured, I mean, roasted! lol
I know, it's been almost a year, since you invited me, but someday, I promise, I will!

And without further adieu, I'd like to pass this lovely award to six fellow bloggers who truly do make life good! Congrats to all! Cheers!
