1-1/2 sticks butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice and zest of one lime
1 pint blueberries

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 1-quart baking dish.

2. Beat the butter and 1/2 cup sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the egg until combined, then the sour cream until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the lime zest until it is evenly distributed. Beat in the coconut, flour, baking powder and salt until the batter is thoroughly combined and smooth.

3. Sprinkle most of the blueberries over the bottom of the prepared dish, reserving a small handful for the top. Squeeze the lime juice over the top of the blueberries. Spoon the batter over the berries and spread out to evenly cover. I find a slightly damp hand the best tool for this. Press the remaining berries over the top of the batter, then sprinkle over the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.

4. Bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and firm.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
