Final Thoughts
Sometimes food is more than just fuel. Sometimes it’s memory. Sometimes it’s love wrapped in a blue towel. And sometimes, it’s powerful enough to stop a biker in his tracks and bring tears to a tough man’s eyes.
This recipe may be simple—but it carries a legacy.
Bake it, share it, and maybe wrap a few up in your own version of a blue towel.
You never know who might need a taste of home.
