One morning a couple of years ago I was in the corridor of my Office when an American Visitor arrived to meet one of my collegues .   Since I was by the entrance, I opened the door for her.  She smiled at me and gave me a big hug and said – Oh The Recipe Lady!! and thanked me.

Puzzeled I asked her what she meant.  She said when she had visited a few month prior and was waiting at the reception she had Overheard me sharing this recipe at the lunch table.   She went home at made it for her husband.  They loved the recipe so much that they make it very often.  

Though I have shared several recipes with my friends over the years, I felt she was my first real fan who had followed a recipe by just overhearing it!! So Flattering!!
