i was fourteen when i ate my first muffin.
it was a blueberry muffin and it was blueberry season in maine. something about the changes in texture. the warmth and juiciness. it blew my mind.
i started eating muffins every day, baking them whenever i had the chance.
eventually my dad called me 'the muffinator' around the same time i needed a new internet handle.
one thing led to another and i ended up interning at a company called instructables. my username was t3h_muffinator.
the second summer - in 2008 - there were two joshes in the office.
eric the ceo would have none of this. "we can't have two joshes - you're muffin. i'm not calling you muffinator".
that's the story of how i became muffin.
