Yesterday I hosted a book club party. Although officially we are not a book club. It was just some of the girls from work reading the same book at the same time as a suggestion of another co-worker. So it was an impromptu book club. Whatever it was; it was super fun!
As the host I made treats that were super delicious. I worked hard in my cooking district all day to have this cornucopia ready for the party.
The menu was as follows
Pulled pork sandwiches
Yum
Frog eye salad
Summer squash pasta salad
Umm!
Then for dessert I made individual lemon meringue tarts.
Donnie and Tracy were very impressed and could hardly believe that these treats were all home made.
To make this party even funner, I had a couple of mixed drinks waiting for my guests. Since we are all of the non-alcoholic persuasion, these mixed drinks had no alcohol in them. I got them from drinksmixer.com. Which has hundreds of non-alcoholic beverages on there along with all the alcoholic ones as well.
The two I picked were "Safe Sex On the Beach" and "Southern Ginger"
They were a big hit too!
So now that you know the food was amazing, the conversation was equally top notch. We answered questions about the book posted by LitLovers. They were good, but we also came up with our own questions and answered them as well. I was so impressed with Dawney and Tracy's thoughtful comments and questions.
Then we watched "Rebecca" directed by none other than the great Alfred Hitchcock (It was his first movie). Due to the lateness of the hour and our full bellies, we all fell asleep at different points along the way, but we always woke up again.
All in all, I would say this party and book club have been a success. And if nothing else, we now have a name for our book club. Which will now be known as the Impromptu Book Club. New members will be accepted.
Due to the exhaustive cooking done in this district for this post, if you want a recipe contact me directly.
Happy Cooking!!!
