Amen! A lot can be learned by looking back. I love to see where/how people started out and work my way up to the present. For one, it shows me that while I'm not that great now, I'm working to get better, and one day I might be great too. Thank you for not deleting the archives, I'm learning a lot.

Blushing now and I’d do it for free.

Foodiechickie, if I only had the money, I would hire you on as my personal cheerleader. Thank you, m'dear.And Nic, I know. I'm never one for memes, but this one--for as silly and pithy as it seems--has a surprising way of actually leading somewhere!Julie, thank you. Kickpleat, I found that Al Gore, Sr. quote in an old New Yorker piece about Al Gore, Jr. I just had to jot it down and keep it, because, well, sometimes it's too easy to forget about the glory, you know?Shauna, thank you, as always! And three cheers for stories!Tanvi, you're too sweet! And yes, do try those Parisian flans! Even though I had some initial trouble with the crust, it still turned out to be some of the best pastry I've ever made, and the filling is outrageously good too. Speaking of which, it's been too long since I've tasted one of these myself...

Hey Molly! Thanks for playing along. Im especially glad I tagged you, because it reminded me of those Parisian tartlets that I have always meant to try. And, as others have noted, you’ve done a service to us all with this post by reminding us what blogging looks like at its best. 🙂

Brava, my dear. I feel exactly the same. In fact, I”m working on my version of the meme as we speak (took a little break to see if you had posted something new), and I’m struck by how the posts I love bests are not only stories (because I just gobble up stories), but also were the unexpected stories. The ones I never expected to come tumbling out. IT’s a good assignment. And you have done a superlative job, as always!

I love this post. Thanks for saying this, Molly. I have a strong feeling it’s as useful to others as it is to you — which is one of the purposes of a good story, no?

I had these exact same thoughts when I did the meme, Molly. Who knew a meme could be so useful?

I think Bashevis Singer and Al Gore would be proud;)
