bookclub

ok, so.....i was disappointed that my bookclub was forced indoors by rain.....days of rain....the deck table was saturated....and so we managed to fit all 15 of us around my grandmother's table with its five leaves.....my eldest led a spirited discussion of slaughterhouse-five.....a great evening with good friends.....the event was a bit more difficult that in past years in that i have driven to frankfort for trainings most days this week....and did not arrive home the night before until 8:00 pm.....which pushed back food prep quite a bit.....i have always offered a thematic meal to go along with the book when it is my bookclub turn.....sadly...this book did not lend itself to a menu....so i made 4 salads and offered a nice selection of desserts.....and so it goes....until my next turn...when the rain will hopefully pass us by for just that one night....
