I tried something I'd never had before this morning at Mollie's Original Kountry Kitchen in Victorville : machaca con huevos. I don't think I've ever even heard of shredded mildly-spiced beef in eggs, but I would come back here for this dish any day.

Many thanks for the machaca recipe- it is a favorite of ours. We prefer this in our enchiladas, tacos adn burritos.

Dear Diana,
Thank you. Most people see it as a minor problem and that I should be glad I can speak. True enough - but still...I did go through lots of voice therapy to get it back.

Please keep writing about Lord John. Let us know whatever became of Tom Byrd and if Percy ever comes back into his life.

Dear Kathy--

Man, nobody who's had bad laryngitis for even a day would think losing their voice was trivial!

Glad you like Lord John. [g] He's a good guy.

Dear Diana:
Thank you for responding. My voice is often like a 14 year old boy – not sure whether it wants to sound feminine or masculine. I wrote to thank you. You seem to understand how a person might feel when they loose something like a voice – trivial though a thing like that may be. I appreciated it.
I am just finished the last of your Lord John books and had to tell you how much I love Lord John. If it were not for that one tiny flaw, he would be a perfect man. Thanks.

Mmm, this recipe sounds delicious – it makes me crave some lomo saltado, a Peruvian dish my mother’s family makes. Extra cilantro, please…

I, too, am rereading all of the books, much to the detriment of my college studies… but I do go a bit crazy if I don’t have at least five minutes of Jamie and Claire time before bed

Dear missaylors–

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of your father–and I’m glad that you can still have a sense of closeness with him in the reading.

Dear Kathy–

I’m sorry to hear about your vocal cord damage; I hope you don’t have quite as much difficulty with it as poor Roger!

This recipe sounds delicious. I am really looking forward to the new book. My father loved your stories, so I am rereading them all in honor of his memory. He passed away three weeks ago today. Reading the books makes me feel a little closer to him…. Thank you for the wonderful stories.

Thanks for the recipe. Sounds great.

I thought I was the only one that decided to reread your books in preparation for the new one. Guess not. I'm now at the end of Breath of Snow and Ashes. The really fun thing is to find out just how much stuff I had forgotten.

I wanted to say something to you, especially after the reread, about Roger's voice. I am amazed at how well you seem to understand and write about the difficulty of losing your voice. I know this because I have had vocal chord damage after surgery and I felt, at times, as though I was reading my own story.

Thank you.
