Taking the opposing position, “Homemade Blueberry Pie” may be a trade name, so upper case would be correct.
Google “frig”. You’ll find a bunch of ads for refrigerators, although some ads spell it “Refridgerator”. It appears that some part of this wonderful country probably calls it a frig.
However, if you look “frig” up in the dictionary you’ll find a definition that hopefully has nothing to do with where that blueberry pie has been!
This site is great! I’ve recommended it to 20 people already.
This is an informal note (probably to a family member) so it is hardly expected to live up to the same standard as a billboard (and other items that are for public consumption).
I think capitalizing Homemade Blueberry Pie is perfectly okay. It is a proper noun (the name of something), why shouldn’t it be capitalized?
Also, “fridge” is slang as far as I can tell so spelling a word, that is already slang, different hardly seems like a mistake.
Normally, I would never call anyone out on a comment. However, Macy is my boss and I happen to know for a fact that she has an MA in English Literature…do you see where this is going? “Offerening”? Even the best of us is fallible. Let me just say for the record, I LOVE MY BOSS and want to keep working for her. And I will be making pie for her by tomorrow, no doubt. I am not too proud to suck up, the economy being what it is at present.

I think this note is legal. People should be able to jot down a short note like this.

I don’t care how they spelled it. I want some pie. There is a total lack of notes on my “frig” offerening home baked pastries.
