My neighbor gave me some pumpkin bars. they were the best i've ever had. i asked for the recipe. she gave it to me the old fashioned way. ok, well, the newer old fashioned way. typed on a piece of paper.
i told my mom how good they were. SHE wanted the recipe. what a dilemma. i actually had to type it up on my own computer, email it to her, and save it to my documents for later reference. but now that all of my best and favorite recipes are on pinterest, i thought, oh i'll just pin it. but do you think it would let me? no. my text edit doc. file was not "supported" by the website.
so here i go. posting on my own little piece of the web... just so i can link it here.
the end.
and enjoy!
