Royal Wedding Early Morning Treats

Featured Recipe: Magical Strawberry Muffins
I'm going on record. I'm getting up to watch the Royal Wedding on Friday. A friend of mine who is in news, said the networks may have over estimated the interest in the US in the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton Friday, April 29th. (Yes it is Kate with a K even though her name is Catherine with a C.)
I've been gearing up since I visited London in December. That's me in front of Westminster Abbey, and yes, I am singing. (Another story, I promise!) And even though I am risking all kinds of criticism, I'm not ashamed to say I'll be watching. So I'll be brewing my coffee and whipping up my Magical Strawberry Muffins to go along. Think of them as a sort of English Strawberries and Cream in a muffin. What better early morning way to celebrate the nuptials?
Coverage starts at 4:00 a.m., with the actual wedding several hours later. Check out ABC's entire page of all the 20 hours of coverage.
Are you planning on watching? Did you watch Diana and Charles when they were married? Do you even care about it? Let me know in the comments section following this post.

Love the royals! Can't wait until Friday. I think Kate will be even prettier than Diana.

Since I get up at 4:30 for work anyway, I might see the wedding live. But the dvr is already set just in case. To those lovely muffins I say "get in my belly!"

Ok, I admit it, I'm a HUGE royal watcher. I was "there" at 4 a.m. for Diana's wedding and I'll be there again on Friday. No tiara for me, though!
