A sigh of contentment escaped David's lips as he walked into the bustling farmers market. He’d spent the weekend clearing out his old garage, and the crisp, morning air felt invigorating against his skin. He bounced on the balls of his feet, his energy making him eager to try some of the local produce. His gaze landed on a stall overflowing with artisan breads. A sign read: “Grandma Betty's Sourdough Sensation!”

He stopped, his heart giving a funny little skip. It was his Grandma Betty's recipe! The one she’d sworn to keep secret! He read the ingredients list, and his eyes widened. Everything – the exact type of flour, the specific starter age, even the pinch of sea salt – matched his grandmother’s notes from her cherished recipe book. He found himself smiling uncontrollably, a grin that split his face. The audacity of “Grandma Betty” – it would be his late grandmother, but she would have loved the attention!
