on managing expectations
I was so delighted when a friend of mine offered to buy me the cake book I was looking at. I told him to choose a cake when the book arrived as a way of saying thank you. He marked two recipes and then passed the book on to a coworker. This is what greeted me when I went to go pick up my prize.
I foresee a lot of time spent in the kitchen in the near future. I’m just grateful that no one selected one of the multi-tiered wedding cakes!
