Is it possible for a recipe to sound peasantlike and decadent at the same time? I may have to take a break from all the jam and zucchini bread and try this recipe. Thanks for posting it.

This looks and sounds so beautiful.

It's going to be awfully hard to satisfy myself with an English muffin for breakfast, having read this.
