So I brought the pumpkin cupcakes to the DAR meeting this afternoon, as it's a potluck. And then I watched as not a single person touched one. They don't look diseased or anything, do they? I mean, come on, they're from scratch! They were the only item on the table not touched! And it's not like they didn't like the format (lemon muffin/cupcakes to the left were decimated) or the flavor (pumpkin pie to the right was practically fought over and much commented upon).
At the end of the meeting, I packed them all back in their container and said something like, "Well, I'll have one, if nobody else will," and I think enough people overheard me that they were guilted into at least taking one "for their husband", even if they didn't eat any. But I still have more left-overs than I thought I would.
Anybody want a cupcake? :(
