The other day I was at the grocery store and a lady was looking for something in the spice aisle, but not finding it.  So I offered to help her.  She was looking for orange peel.  As we were looking for it, she started to tell me about these absolutely delicious Orange Banana muffins she makes and then proceeded to tell me all the ingredients and that I “just had to make them“.  So I did!  Thankfully we both found the orange peel!  I told her I would like to credit the recipe and she said to just credit it to the nice lady in the grocery store…
