Happy New Year! For all you flour recipients, thanks for all the notes in response to my recent email about what’s happened to all the flour y’all took home. It’s been fun reading them all. So far, the emails and reports have ranged from short essays to just a few words. As much as I love a long, leisurely tale (and there’ll be plenty of entries dedicated to those, don’t worry!), it’s those that say so much in so few words that I want to celebrate in this post. Because, if you still owe me a note, it’s as easy as these. Really. You can write a novel, and I’ll appreciate it, but these are also totally and wonderfully perfect in their simplicity.

Hi Sarah,
Taylor, my 10-year old daughter, and I met you at Forest Park’s market on Oct 8. We loved your flour and made apple muffins. We shared them with co-workers, teachers, friends and neighbors. They were almost all gone before I remembered to take a picture!
Hope your project is going well.muffins de Taylor

Hello Sarah,
I used most of my flour to make waffles for my friends! I hosted a waffle breakfast and fed about 14 people, including moms and other guests from out of town. They were all delighted to participate in your project. Thanks for providing the delicious main ingredient!and more waffling!

Subject: chocolate chip muffins!
Unfortunately I did not think to take pictures and have used the whole darn bag but I made a lot of chocolate chip walnut
muffins for the holidays. Delicious and GONE!*
*this was a friend of mine, and it wasn’t till after she sent this email that I realized I had eaten some of those very muffins. They were indeed delicious.
