Your kind words came at the the right time. Though I expect you knew when I would need your message.

Of late, I have not felt as if I have delighted anyone except my children. It pleases me that you have enjoyed my stories and recipes. But of course the gift of cooking and writing came from you. I am most grateful. I hope that I will continue to please you.

I can’t imagine your cooking angels needing any other recipes than their own. Thank you for letting me know Heaven is a little brighter since you have been making popovers.

My trust is with you always, and yes I do confuse timing and planning as it is hard not to at times. I am sorry for my impatience, you have blessed me with much.

With a faithful heart I await your call.

Your loving child,
Kim

I am looking forward to reading your adventures. Guess I’m a Southern Cook in a Yankee kitchen — born and bred in the South (many years in Atlanta) then moved to Boston in my mid 30s. But I can’t seem to stop cooking southern! I will admit to a newfound fondness for regional cuisines north of the Mason/Dixon line.

Oh, and I make pimento cheese all the time for my Yankee friends — they LOVE it.

Again, good luck!!

Best,

David

I could not have made these rules any better.

I’ll make you a deal; one which would make us both happy and also because I am sorry about the filing error my angel made. Here it is, the deal of your life:

If you- notice I did not say “can”- live by these rules for one year, you will have a prosperous, joyous and most fulfilling career of creativity, exquisite food, good company and friends.

I am very pleased with your concerted efforts. Indeed, you have had a challenging time lately and have still managed to keep up your spirits and delight us all with your recipes and stories about life. You should know too, that since you posted the recipe for the popovers, Heaven has been a little brighter. We use that recipe here now, too.

My dear child, do not confuse timing with planning. Keep your trust in Me, for there are still lessons you need to learn. You are not misplaced and are not forgotten, I have something special saved for you. It is not typical that I respond in such a manner, but thought the matter-of-factness might be helpful to you now. You are on the right track and I am excited for your future. Be ready for my call.

Love, GOD
