The delicious Spread.
Yesterday I hosted Book Club. Of course that meant great food and great conversation. I was so excited about the menu this time. Well, I am every time. I think everything turned out wonderful. Thanks Jessica, for the suggestions. The only thing I didn't get a picture of was the dessert. I kicked up my Mom's no-bake cheese cake a couple of notches by chopping up Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses(thanks Jessica for sending those from VA.) and Pecans and sprinkled them on top of the graham cracker crust. As I served the slices I drizzled each with caramel sauce. Next time, I think I will put a little cheesecake mixture on the bottom then sprinkle with the kisses and nuts and top it off with the rest of the cheesecake mixture. For the recipes click on the appropriate picture description.
We discussed the book, Beneath a Marble Sky. It is a beautiful book about a love story surrounding the building of the Taj Mahal. My favorite part in the book was when the main character asks her true love, what gift would make you happy? He replies, "Truly Happy? To have you see yourself as I see you." How different our lives would be if we could see ourselves the way our loved ones do. I think we would be surprised.
The delicious Spread.

Holy frijoles! I'm hosting our Pride and Prejudice book club in a few weeks, which you are welcome to come to. Let me just warn you now, however, that I will be making 1 measly little treat. I'm no cooking sorceress!
All I can say is HOLY COW!!!
Your galette looked wonderful. The sage leaves on top were a delightful addition. You are such a super star! I wish I could have been there with you.
Looks yummy. Wish I lived closer so I could join your little club. Sounds fun.
How is the world do you find the time to do all you have to do. You must be a better organizer than I am. Can't wait for this summer. We need to be introduced to Grace.
Cooking Sorceress for sure!
Oh how I wish I still lived behind you! There was a reason I never built a fence! YUM! Girrrl...Yummy!
