Muffins

Hutch has baked some muffins for Minnie’s birthday party. Humour.

“Something smells good,” Starsky said, as he came into Hutch’s apartment and made straight for the kitchen

“Thank you…and don’t touch!” Hutch called from the greenhouse.

Starsky rolled his eyes before getting closer to the muffins and sniffing them appreciatively. The smell of blueberries filled his nostrils and he started salivating.

Hutch finished watering his plants and then joined Starsky in the kitchen.

“I’ll just put these in a tin and then we can go.”

Starsky nodded. “I’m sure Minnie will love these but don’t you think we should taste test one to make sure they taste all right?”

“Hands off! You’ll have to wait till the party.” As Hutch put the last muffin in the tin and closed the lid, he said, “I thought you said yesterday I was boring offering to bring healthy muffins to a birthday party!”

“Well, that was before I smelled them!”

Hutch snorted.

The two of them left the apartment and headed down to their cars.

“You can drive if you like,” Starsky suggested.

Hutch looked surprised then knowing. He shook his head.

“And leave you with access to the muffins? Nice try, Gordo.”

Looking disappointed, Starsky climbed into the Torino, muttering something unflattering. Hutch hid a smile. As they started heading towards Minnie’s place, Hutch opened the tin and pulled a muffin out.

“You know: I think you’re right. I should do a taste test.”

As he bit into the delicious muffin, he heard Starsky’s stomach rumble and grinned. Sometimes it was fun torturing his partner, especially when Starsky deserved it!
