book club......

ok, so book club went very well....mostly because the foods we served are part of our usual fare.......hummus, stuffed grape leaves, couscous, sauteed spinach with onions and garlic, cucumbers in sour cream with scallions, marinated baked fish fillets.........the book seemed to take a back seat to the meal....not our intentions.....lamb is a brilliantly irreverant take on jesus aka joshua's life between the scene at the temple when he was 12 and his baptism at age 30 or so........we did discuss the middle east's conflict with regards to islam and the portrayal of the holy one.....and decided that the portrayal of jesus as blond and blue eyed is just as profane........a small group of us will travel to lex saturday to see brokeback mountain........in summary......a grand evening with good friends............
