from Muffins by Elizabeth Alston I was disappointed with these muffins. The description in the book made them sound SO good, but when I made them they were really yucky.

Maybe they would've tasted better with the lemon curd that was suggested to go with them. I'm probably just not that wild about nutmeg...I think most of the recipes I have that call for it, call for minute quantities so I haven't really tasted it as a major part of something till I had these.
