Pistachio Muffins Who What Where When Can You Have One

The greatest muffin in the history of muffins is a pistachio muffin. This is a small time muffin. I would wager there are probably 500 blueberry muffins for every one pistachio muffin. But, the joy of a pistachio muffin is unparalleled. It’s green, that’s cool. Also, I think the pistachio makes the whole affair a bit oily. I’ve never had a dry pistachio muffin and I’ve bet you’ve never had one at all. They used to have them at the Minnesota Historical Society. And I used to live across the street from the Minnesota Historical Society. And I used to eat those muffins and love it. Then they switched caterers and they lost it. A good option, but clearly a second best is the pistachio muffins from most Dunn Bros. Pretty good, not as oily and not as break-off-able-into-aesthetically-pleasing chunks able. But, I randomly came across a world class pistachio muffin. I say its random, but actually I needed a serious bit of good energy in my life that day and I think that’s why the universe but a pistachio muffin in front of me. If you drive from North High to the new temporary studios for Jazz88 you’ll drive right past Bryn Mawr. There are only two neighborhoods in the Twin Cities that make me think of specific people. If I drive past the Marcy area of Minneapolis right near Northeast I think about an ex-girlfriend that lived over there and I only think of her. And if I drive past that intersection of Penn and Cedar Lake Rd. with the Mobil I only think of Alexei Casselle from Oddjobs, Kill the Vultures et cetera. His mom used to live over there and it was the only time I went to said neighborhood. But there’s a little coffee shop over there that I’ve ever been to but I parked to grab a quick coffee. When I saw the pistachio muffin I knew it was on. I exerted the self-control necessary to not eat it in the car and come into the new offices looking like a leprechaun had dry heaved on my hoodie. But the minute I got to my new desk I went to town on captain pistach and my god was it good. GO TO CUPPA JAVA AND GET A PISTACHIO MUFFIN. See? Reading this is as fun as twitter isn’t it?
