Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about a baking basic: making a muffin.

Cheery Cherry Muffins (Miss NiNi): Prepare basic Muffin recipe as noted, except add 1 t. almond extract to liquid ingredients. Fold in ¾ c. plumped dried cherries, chopped. (To plump dried cherries, place cherries in a microwave-safe bowl. Add about 2 T. warm water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. Drain water—this will be hot. Coarsely chop cherries.) Top with streusel topping. (I used chopped pecans, but slivered almonds make a lovely substitute.)

May 7th, 2016 by admin

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Jung Ho Kang homered twice and Francisco Liriano continued his dominance at Busch Stadium as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Friday night.

Kang, who was activated from the disabled list before the game, ripped the first pitch he saw from Tyler Lyons into the right field bullpen for a two-run homer to give the Pirates a 3-0 lead in the sixth. Kang followed with a 427-foot homer into the upper deck in left in the eighth.

Liriano (3-1) improved to 4-0 with a 2.07 ERA in six career starts at Busch Stadium. Liriano fanned 10 through seven innings for his 24th career double-digit strikeout performance of his career.

Mark Melancon got his eighth save for Pittsburgh, who won its fifth straight road game and improved to 4-0 against the Cardinals this season.
