Let me rewrite this in a way that more clearly shows how I think about my wife.
She is someone who loves good tools to work with because she knows when she needs them they'll always do the job.
She is a perfectionist and, if a batch of muffins or anything isn't up to her criteria, rather than thinking that no one will notice, she'll toss them out, time and effort be damned.
If anyone, friend or family, calls with a problem, she will stay on the phone with that person until the need is gone and then stay up late to finish what she needs to do.
She wouldn't bring store bought when she can cook or bake and bring her own; she sees that as her gift to the person entertaining.
She loves to bring extras so that, if anyone likes what she brings, they can go home with some to eat.
If I go out of my way to take care of her and do chores and errands for what she knows are her idiosyncratic behaviors, she'll stay up late and do the dishes, which are usually my chore, and so when I come down in the morning, the kitchen is clean.
