Book Club at Stephanie's

Stephanie hosted book club this month and she treated us to some amazing food.  Unfortunately I was so distracted by the goodness that I forgot to take pictures!!  So Brenda grabbed my camera and snapped a few photos of all the empty dishes... 


We had pasta with a choice of three sauces (marinara, Alfredo & pesto)  -- most of us put all three on our pasta. There was a beautiful salad, watermelon and crostini topped with tomatoes and basil.


Brenda did manage to grab a picture of a plate and one of dessert -- mmmm


Shauna led us in a great discussion about Jane Eyre and shared some of her favorite passages from the book. We also voted on books (see post below) and we had a hard time choosing from so many great books.

Thanks so much to both Stephanie and Shauna for such a  great night.  As always we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!


Christie, Shauna & Stephanie


Shannon, Heidi & Bethany


Brenda Sue & Shauna


Robyn & Rebecca


And finally we have Kara, and our newest member sweet baby Iris.

We'll see you next month at Bethany's house where we will discuss Cold Comfort Farm.

No worries...just sorry we forgot to get a pic of all the yumminess before we devoured it!

Baby Iris looks like she wasn't pleased with our menu! I thought it was great. Loved the food.

Brenda you did a great job taking photos. I love seeing all your gorgeous faces! It's so fun to see you all :-)

I keep thinking of 2 quotes from the evening:

1. The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results (author unknown, at least to me).

2. It's like when you're a kid and you're so excited to go on the merry-go-round. You wave at your parents about the first five times around and then you start thinking, 'When am I ever gonna get off this thing?' (by Shauna)

Steph, thanks for the comida deliciosa!

Shauna, thanks for the great review. There's SO much to think about from that book. You'll have to post a few more of your fav. quotes when you get a chance.

Heidi, thanks for our future list info. I love being able to plan ahead.
