A true story with the heart, the humor, and the humility of a raw young doctor in his very first days as a new family doctor in a little town in the Appalachian Mountains.
Here is the email I received from Monica Brown, the innkeeper at Freymont Inn:
Hello! I hope you are having a good day. I have attached the recipes you requested. Hope this helps. Happy blogging! Best Wishes, Monica Brown________________________________________________________________
Grandma June's Baked Tomatoes
4 cups peeled and diced fresh or canned tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup V8 juice
1 tsp sugar
1 cup seasoned salad croutons
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Combine vegetables, juice and sugar in large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until everything begins to soften, about 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour into large bowl, and add croutons. Toss until well mixed. Pour into greased casserole dish. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake an additional 5 minutes more.
Lemon Chess Pie
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp cornmeal
1/4 cup milk
1/2 stick butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp grated lemon rind (lemon zest)
1 9" pie crust
Combine sugar and eggs and beat well. Toss together the flour and cornmeal and add to egg mixture. Gradually add milk, butter, juice and rind. Pour into pie crust. Bake in center of a preheated 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Cool and chill.
This pie was my father-in-law's favorite. He said his mother told him the name derived from the simplicity of the ingredients. When someone would ask what this pie was called, the answer was "jes pie!". (Southerners will understand this, others probably won't...)
Jaye also made her blueberry cupa, cupa , cobbler that was featured in an earlier blog- you can search for it...
The door prize was a Bryson City bird house and wine glasses. Jaye and Lois also gave everyone a bird candleholder to remember the trip...we have the best book club as I have said before!!
A few blogs ago, I told you about the special Dinner and a Book Chalk Board that my friend , Monika Brown, made for us- well, here it is!
As a book club, we love to go on trips that are inspired by the book we read, so in May of 2003, after reading Bryson City Tales by Dr. Walt Larimore, we headed to Bryson City, North Carolina, USA, and stayed at Jaye’s sister-in-law Kikky’s beautiful home in the mountains. Along the way we stopped at the Fryemont Inn and had a delicious dinner. Monica, one of the owners, graciously shared a couple of their recipes to include in this blog.
