Its late, but technically still Monday. I made these for the person that loves tart, slightly sweet, and chocolate. We aren't making cupcake here. These are muffins. You aren't the mom that gives your kids cupcakes for breakfast. But let's be reasonable here...If you love cherries, and not the tart kind...use fresh, but fight those pits out first. Another option is to use frozen cherries, and don't add water. One and half cups would be a good guess on the amount. Add the pure maple syrup and cook and reduce until its about a cup. I know...very scientific over here. But sometimes you just have to let the rules go, and follow your instinct. Instinct overrides every rule.
Tart Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins
Cherry Syrup
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
Can of tart cherries with water
Add ingredients to small saucepan. On medium heat, bring to a boil, mash the cherries. It is done when the syrup reduces and a syrup consistency. It should make about 1 cup of cherry syrup.

1 stick unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 cup cherry syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 1/2 cups fresh milled flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
*Top with 1/3 cup chocolate chips or more if you would like
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter. In a large bowl, add eggs and coconut sugar and mix together. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Start mixer and add butter and cherry syrup. Mix well. Scoop into a muffin tin, filling them half to two-thirds full. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin. Bake 12-15 minutes.
As a designer, I pay a lot of attention to link the details, and there's nothing that feels out of place on this watch. Everything is perfectly link executed, and that link is why this is the watch that I wore most this year.
It was released link three years ago, St. Fleur says. "I saw it and knew I had to have it. It's a beautiful photo – I love everything about it, especially how link the sunlight is shining down on the link mother with her two boys on a New York sidewalk. When I look at it, I see me and my brother."
Apply all of this on a lovely matte sandblasted platinum dial, and you have a brand new look that feels at once traditional link in form and contemporary in execution. Just like the previous versions, the platinum Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date uses the 2460 link R31L, an in-house automatic movement from Vacheron Constantin that ticks at 4 Hz while offering a 40-hour power reserve and a design that allows all of the functions to be controlled link via the crown alone.
I wear mine on my right wrist for two reasons. First, I am left-handed, so I don't drag my watch link across desks as I write or risk hitting it. Second, it link keeps the crown up-arm, less exposure to link water as I wash my hands.
Watchmaker Jose Vega was there, so was photographer Lydia Winters, and the guys from the Wrist Check podcast. Oh, and did link I mention rapper StylesP dropped by? The link efforts link made to bring together such a diverse group of amazing people within the watch community were very successful. So, here are some photos highlighting this fun event.
