When I was moving, my dear friend brought us breakfast on the morning we were leaving. When she pulled out pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, I took one out of politeness (and gratitude!) – since most of the time they aren’t great. I should have had more faith in my friend. They were amazing! And when I told her so, she replied, “They’re Mel’s recipe of course!” It’s such a sweet memory of much needed service (I had 2 little kids and was pregnant with my 3rd), and the shared love of your recipes. Thanks for always being there for us!
Oh, that IS a sweet memory…thank you for sharing that!!
