Muffins For Mortar

Sarah is going to Ghana for spring break. The High School is sponsoring a trip in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity. These kids are going to spend 15 days in a small village in the bush, living and eating with villagers, building houses. No running water, no stores, no toilet facilities, no Little Debbies Snack Cakes, no civilization. The sponsor clearly stated that the kids can use as much water as they could haul out of the well.

Despite the primitive conditions, this is not a cheap trip. Because Sarah got stuck with the parents she did, she has a chunk of money to earn for the trip. A big chunk. Besides babysitting, she has had one primary source on income: Muffins. Each week she bakes about 50 muffins and sends them to work with Dave. He has recruited a couple willing souls with prime office space to hock the muffins for her. Two muffins for 1 Euro. So far she has been quite successful. She has even had a few pre-orders. After trying several varieties, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip emerged as the clear favorite. People have come to expect the weekly offering and if she is a day or two later than usual baking them, people track David down to ask about the muffins. So, with about one month left until departure she has about $250 left on her tab. Only 500 muffins left to go...
