That is what stays?
Hi all,
In a novel, there are a bunch of people having dinner in some woman's house and they're talking about the baking desire of another woman among them. She tells them how she began to bake things and then the host says:
"So that is what stays. How funny, these things."
I couldn't get the meaning of this expression, what does she mean?
Thanks in advance,
Dilan

It is from The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted by Bridget Asher.
And the book is mainly about a woman named Heidi, who had lost her husband about two years ago and trying to recover by going to an old, family house in Provence, France.
She is the one who has a cake shop and who likes to bake and Véronique is the host, besides that she is a close friend of Heidi'

Thank you. I was hoping to see the text at Amazon in the "Look Inside!" preview, but that page is not included. It's still a mystery to me. I would need to see the writing leading up to it. The author has a rather cryptic style. My first impression is that she lost parts of herself, but her baking stayed with her.

Hi
I agree with enoon: it's quite mysterious. I think it means that people can go through a change in their life and that, at the end of that part of their life, there are only a few things that they continue with

Thanks a lot to both of you, but the problem is, she's not baking anymore. Since the husband's death, the only thing she does is to take care of their son, that's all.
But it seems like the most logical explanation, so I'll go with that.
Thanks again,
