For decades the mafia had New York City in a stranglehold with law enforcement

seemingly powerless to intervene.

It uses terror to extort people.

But the murder of Carmie Galante marked the beginning of the end.

It sent the message that we can prosecute these people.

Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is to make muffins on Sunday night.

There is no point spending all of Sunday preparing for the week ahead

but a quick batch of muffins could be dessert on Sunday and a breakfast treat for Monday. A little present to start

the week well. So long-time listeners know that I am frequently counseling people not to do too much to get ready the night before.

Getting ready the night before tends not to save time.

It just spreads your getting ready over the night and the morning too.

The same philosophy extends to the weekend.

Your weekday self will figure things out.

Don't sacrifice your legal... your make the week go perfectly. Nothing will make the week go perfectly.

Rather than bake elaborate meals on the weekend to reheat during the week,

you're better off just having really simple meals.

Now that said, it's always fun to have some sort of little motivational treat on Monday morning.

You are probably not going to get up to make an elaborate breakfast.
