I always thought "pogey bait" was a Marine Crotch term. I was mistook,
I see.

Back in the day when new drivers were licensed in Illinois and took the
"road/driving test" in a car with a slush box their license would show
a restriction to "automatic shift only". My last manual transmission was
a BMW 7-series with a 6 speed manual. I got the car by running my mouth
when I should have been listening. I didn't keep it for long since it's
gas-hog V8 vouldn't seem to manage better than 5 mpg. My nephew bought
it to use in "drifting" competitions.

Never had a 'vette. Altho I had a brief fling with a Vega (aka Rust Bucket)

An aquaintance was shopping new cars and was amazed that a manual tranny
was an extra-cost option for the Chrysler he was considering. Bv)=

I like the Beemer's 8-speed shiftless box.

DD> My Meal Muncher main database is over 21K recipes.

My main database is titled "Echomail" and is recipes I have gathered to
post here or have posted here.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Pecan Peach Muffins
Categories: Breads, Snacks, Fruits, Nuts
Yield: 12 Servings

1 1/2 c A-P flour
1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter; melted
1/4 c Milk
1 lg Egg
2 md Peaches; peeled, diced

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1/2 c Pecans; chopped
1/3 c Brown sugar; packed
1/4 c A-P flour
1 ts Ground cinnamon
2 tb Butter; melted

Set oven @ 400øF/205øC.

Grease and flour 12 muffin cups or line w/paper muffin
cups. Combine topping ingredients until mixture is
crumbly; set aside.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
in a large bowl. Whisk together butter, milk, and egg
in a separate bowl. Stir milk/egg mixture into the flour
mixture and blend just until moistened. Fold in diced
peaches. Spoon into muffin cups; sprinkle evenly with
topping mixture.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or 'til a tooth pick inserted
in center comes out clean. Remove from pan.

It was a great day for recipe testing. This is one of my
favorite muffins I've had all year. I'm whacking myself
in the head for taking so long to try it.

It was submitted to the site by Beth H. back in 2002.
It's 11 years later and I finally made it. The fresh
peach taste was amazing and the pecan crumble topping
was outstanding. The only change I made was increasing
the flour by 1/4 cup so I'd get a batter consistency I
liked. I strongly recommend this recipe. - Mr. Breakfast
