PJ, I hope your obituary (hopefully many years hence) highlights at least these qualities: Born teacher/ Fantastic writer/ Trusted down-to-earth baking advisor/ Kitchen scientist/ Everyday humorist/ National treasure. Work that is excellent without being showy or self-absorbed must be written in your DNA. We are drawn in by your clear engaging writing, then magically we are at your elbow in your kitchen, part of a circle of friends that stretches all around the nation. How lucky we are! Thank you!
