Fun Snacks

How about making a Friendship Bread for a Book Club evening or morning treat? You've never heard of Friendship Bread? Oh my. You've been missing out.

It's an Amish recipe for a sweet cinnamon bread that you use a "starter" to make. (That's where the friends come in!) You can even snazzy it up with nuts or fruit for your own unique twist on things.

It's easy and yummy, too. You can get the starter recipe and several variations (chocolate and lemon, too) at the All Recipes website allrecipes.com

A nice pot of coffee or your favorite tea, and you're all set.
Have a great Book Club meeting.

February Book Club Fun

February - the month of love, romance, and to-die-for chocolates!

Of course, this month will be a romance, right? What do you mean you don't read romance. Puh-lease. So don't pick up a historical if it's not your cup o' tea, or an erotic pub if it will make you blush, but there's romance in nearly every story you pick up. Even the occasional thriller. :)

So let's talk about the romance in your book club book this month. If you are determined there wasn't one --- then let's turn the discussion to who we COULD have hooked up! A little matchmaking never hurt anyone.

Have fun!

Happy New Year

It's 2009 and I can say I'm glad for the invention of the Debit Card ... because right about now I'd be trying to remember to write 09 on all checks and now I have one less worry :)

How about another one less worry --- what to read?

A fun and fair way to keep the list of books appealing to all is to have each member of your book club write a recommendation on an index card (okay, so they can have more than one card if their indecisive) then pull the book of the month from the hat. No bargaining, no discussion!

I'm currently reading THE SHACK. You've probably heard about this wildly successfully self-published book that has sold millions and millions. It's been a really good and thought provoking read. If it's not on your list, maybe you'll want to add this one.

Happy Reading.
