Melody, this is a lovely piece! Such rich sensory details -- probably wasn't a good idea for me to read this an hour before dinner.

Such a beautiful piece Melody 🥹 I relate to my elders exchanging food between each other too, when my mom gets given food she always tries to give back the tupperware with a certain curry or dish the relatives love. This was so sweet and wholesome, I loved especially how you tried baking again with the cake pops after all those years when your friend said she loved your banana bread!! This has to be one of my favourite pieces from you for sure 🫶🏻

I don’t love baking so much as I love the joy it brings to other people. I remember my grandma would always bake us something before us grandkids came over, and it was the feeling that she thought of me hours before I got there that made me feel most loved.
