Pumkin Muffin Yes, Darling?

The O.C. – Season 1 episode 16, The Links

Kirsten offering Hailey a muffin: Pumpkin muffin?
Sandy: Yes, darling?

I have to be honest here. I never watched the O.C.

I tried but it was a little too much cliché drama for me, if you know what I mean. A troubled youth is pulled from abuse and poverty and is taken in by uber-rich family. Troubled youth then dates pretty, rich girl with troubles of her own. Idealistic love in a materialistic society.

Blah Blah Blah.

the o.c.

However, it did establish some pretty amazing stars – Benjamin McKenzie, who is now in the breakout show Gotham, Rachel Bilson went on to Hart of Dixie which I loved, and adorable quick-witted Adam Brody (who started as Dave in Gilmore Girls) starred in films such as Mr & Mrs Smith, Scream 4 and Cop Out.

Despite all sexy, drama filled pretty people the show was not succesful and it ended after only 4 seasons.

But at least there were muffins.

I’m not kidding, these muffins are so east to make and come out perfect every. single. time. No drama.
