Last night book club met at our house. We discussed Life of Pi by Yann Martel (see book review on side bar). I tried to have refreshments that were some what Indian in theme (the book starts in India), it didn't turn out so Indian - except for the Nan bread and the mango chutney - but they were all yummy none the less. There was Nan bread, pita chips - original and cinnamon sugar, baba ghanoush (I bought it from Wegman's but if anyone is interested in a recipe or what it is here's the link - so goooooood!), assorted olives, roasted vegetable bruschetta, cookies, local wildflower honey, and mango chutney. Angela brought over some yummy cookies too (yum yum)!
We had fun chatting about the book, making messes (I tried to juggle my plate full of food - with no success) and sharing stories. It's always fun to get together for book club and it's so fun to have a group to talk to about books. Previous to Michelle starting book club I hadn't picked up a book for a long, Long, LONG time - I had simply fallen out of the habit of reading for pleasure.
I got to pick the book for March and I'm so excited. I can't wait to reread and discuss A.M.V.
Thanks for hosting. I had such a great time! Great food, great book, great conversation! In fact, as I was driving home, I found myself evaluating the experience like I'd just been on a date with a boy I liked: "Did I talk too much? Did I stay too late? Do they think I'm funny?" So thanks for the quadruple date, ladies. I'll be sitting by the phone, waiting for your call (and occasionally picking it up to make sure it's still working).
