What a beautiful message. This meant the world to me. Love sharing the stories and pictures and wish I could have taken you along with me for the feasting and visiting.

Thank you so much, Madeleine! I’m with you: it’s Thai food, it’s Southern food, but it’s deep down really truly, food. Just food and the people who make it and where and why and how…..My McDermott people were from County Longford and County Cavan, not Roscommon. My maternal grandmother was a Smith. And I need to figure out which one was which county — that’s a trip I long to make, to Ireland, where many family members would welcome us warmly.

Hi Nancie
Fantastic recipes………Thanks. I too love Thai food, well food in general if I’m honest!
I shared your surname until marriage. By chance were your roots from Roscommon before North Carolina? Madeleine

Well, my pleasure to just call ‘em like I see ‘em. It was gorgeous to behold and just the way I like poundcake to be: substantial, satisfying, rich. I love our noodle-summer roll session photo, and loved the party. I’ll hope to see you again, preferably while cooking and feasting with great people. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Nancie-
A bigger compliment could not have been given…… to have you say I “nailed” my first pound cake means so much to me. More than you can imagine. A joy to spend the day with you and your charming husband. Thanks for food, fun, and friendship!

So kind. Glad to be in touch, Gerry. I’ll enjoy peeking into your kitchen from way over here on the Other Coast.

SO kind of you to let me know this, Fellow-Nancy. I’m delighted you got to listen in on my conversation with Faith Middleton (http://www.cpbn.org/program/faith-middleton-show) . Such a pleasure to be her guest. And your pie-report makes me beam. Happy cooks, that’s the plan! Cook on, and keep me posted.

Hi Nancie, Just wanted to drop you a line – I was driving to the grocery store yesterday and heard you on Faith Middleton’s PBS Radio Show. The pie you were discussing at that moment was your Amazing Coconut Pie. The thing was, I had already had coconut on my grocery list. My sweet tooth was dictating coconut macaroons but, after hearing of this pie, I thought that it’d be a great alternative for my coconut craving. When I got home, I looked you up and found the recipe here. We had it for dessert that night. At room temperature it was heaven! It had that coconut custard thing going on. This morning for a late coffee break, we had another piece of pie, this time, cold out of the fridge. What a Keeper! So happy for this little coconut synchronicity and happy to have been introduced to you from Faith’s show.
