My most popular post ever, by far, was nothing spiritually-profound (not that I get very spiritually profound), nothing containing any attempts at household hints or witty anecdotes. No, it was a post I wrote roughly a year ago about how I impulsively purchased a lemon meringue pie due to a pre…. [...]
I love this, Nikki! I love that you bought the pie, that you posted about it, and that everyday people are reading about it. So funny.
