Dear Reader,

Recipe requests from my Reader Email Bag:

"Suzanne, you sent us a recipe a couple of months ago, a cake, a chocolate cake. You said normally you didn't think about eating much, but the cake was extraordinary. Well, I printed it out and seemed to have lost it. I have a very special friend about to have a birthday and I would love to make that very cake for her. Could you resend it to me PLEASE?! Thanks for all you do. It's great having friends like you."--Janet

"Suzanne, last year you shared your turkey stuffing recipe with us and it was wonderful! However, I can't seem to find my copy. Thanksgiving is only a few weeks off, and I'm starting to panic. Could I please have that recipe again? Thanks for reading with 'me'. It's so good to read with friends!"--Kim V.

(Suzanne responds:) Janet and Kim, you'll find the recipes for the Disappearing Chocolate Cake and the Crock Pot Stuffing at my blog. Look for them under Recent Posts.

P.S. You could WIN a book..."Tell me a story," is still one of best reasons to write a book. And author Walt Larimore, M.D., told me one mighty fine story last week when I read his book, "Bryson City Tales."

It's a true story about the first year of his medical practice in the Smoky Mountains. What could happen in a small town of 8,000 people, you might think? Well, a murder for one thing. And the new doctor had only been in town for thirty days.

I have 15 copies of his book to give away. Read the sample, send me an email, tell me what you think--and you're automatically entered in the drawing. I'll pass your comments on to the author, too.

Always interesting how a Doctor makes the transition from studying and residency to his/her own practice, although especially so when the new practice is quite different from any other location they have studied or lived. The account usually offers a fresh perspective and insight into the world into which they enter and also their adjustment to actually practicing medicine in this new environment. It often provides a candid honest accounting of the interaction with the people of the community from the interesting perspective of one who will become an important and necessary part of the community. It would be interesting to take this journey with this soul in the Smokey Mountains.
