Book Club this thursday: be there or be square!!

Stephanie's house @ 7:00

We'll have good food.

There'll be good conversation.

I'll even bring out my kids' hand puppets in case anyone feels like putting on an impromptu show.

I'm pretty sure there won't be any dead bodies.

Will you be there? 

Book Club At Christie's

Ah just look at these women!  They are all beautiful!

Christie hosted book club one last time before she's off to Germany.  Christie we are going to miss you!  You are our founder -- and the one who always has great lines to share from the books we read.  We all wish you and your family safe travels!

We had a super discussion about Cutting For Stone.  We all really enjoyed the book and found that there were so many things to discuss. From family, medical procedures,and ethics to how immigration and geography shape our destiny.  I know I always love hearing everyone's perspective.

We had a pot luck for book club this month and everything was perfect.  Here is a sampling of the tasty treats we enjoyed:

And of course --  as always -- I failed to get shots of the desserts. We had a lemon cream pie and strawberry shortcake.

Once again here we are -- our shot from above!

April Book Club @ Kara's

Better late than never right?

Kara hosted in April and made the most delicious pasta with asparagus! i mean REALLY!  It was sooo good. Kara I really hope you post the recipe because I want to make this - especially since the weather is finally feeling a bit like spring salad weather instead of hot soup weather.

The salad was wonderful too! What I don't have a picture of is the deadly bread.  There is a shot of a slice of the killer bread in the next shot however.  

The reason teh bread was so deadly is that when Bethany went to cut the loaf the crispy crust was a little slippery and the knife slid off the bread and sliced open Bethany's finger.  While Bethany was getting first aid help from Kara I picked up the knife to slice the bread and what should happen!?  Yep, the knife slid and sliced through my finger as well.  So I too had to go see nurse Kara for some help.

Finally Kara pushed us all aside and said "let me do it you wimps!"

 And then we all had nicely sliced bread. 

Whew!

 We also had super tasty peanut butter brownies and lemon bars.

We had a great discussion about The Boy in Striped Pajamas.  I  would say that the general consensus was that the book could have been much better. We thought it was weak on driving home the horror of the holocaust and the main character was too immature and unrealistic.

Finally here we are fashionable and having a great time!

We'll see you Thursday at Christie's @ 7:30!!
