‘Oh yes, I remember it. I covered that story. Still effects me; thirty years and it’s like it was yesterday.
‘Emma Schifflitt, who won the county faire’s baking blue ribbon every year, had her cranberry scone recipe stolen. Big news.
‘She claimed, in her hysteria, that she’d seen a foreign spy sneaking out of her kitchen late one night. False accusation, of course. In the light of day, her critical thinking kicked in. She figured, turns out rightly, that the thief would show up with her signature scones.
‘Her mom’s entry? Cranberry scones. And that, as they say, started it.’
