Brentwood TN Blueberries and Blueberry Muffins

I bought some beautiful blueberries on sale at the Fresh Market in Brentwood Tennessee. Here's my best recipe for blueberry muffins, along with a recipe NOT to use. The Puffy Muffin in Brentwood bakes the best blueberry muffins you can buy, but the recipe that's listed in the Puffy Muffin cookbook is not the same recipe that the store uses. I tested it. If you don't want to buy your blueberries at Fresh Market, I'll tell you where I'm going to pick blueberries in Williamson Co. this year. The Golden Bell Farm is a pick-your-own blueberry place near Brentwood, on Clovercroft Rd. between Cool Springs and Hwy. 96.
