oh yes, I need a recipe for ring dings with popcorn. We tried to make a ring ding pie last Thanksgiving, but could only find hostess cup cakes. Ingredient wrassling is best done in advance of the holidays…
Where can I pick up a couple of autographed copies since I blew off your gig in Amherst? (Your aunt and uncle maybe avoided my gaze as we were all eating at Panda that night…)

11. Because you have a load of delicata seeds and you don’t know how to use them.
12. Because you love heart-warming stories that feel good without being sugary sweet.
13. Because you always meant to make dumplings but you needed someone to hold your hand through the process.
14. Because a fantastic recipe that combines two of the best foods known to woman – bread and chocolate – is worth $24.95 alone.
15. Finally, because Susie is such a great writer you will enjoy every minute you are reading this wonderful book!
