A Novel Affair


The Aurelianos ladies (one of my books clubs) came over on Saturday night to discuss Ann Petry's The Street. Afterward, John inquired as to how much of the evening was spent discussing the book. My response? A goodly amount---maybe 30 minutes.
As usual, the evening focused on food and wine. That's my kind of club. I served Wild Rice soup with an herbed spring mix salad. We started with an appetizer that I lifted directly from Friday night's date: crostini with goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and golden raisins. So simple! Rave reviews ensued.

That sounds yummy. I need to start a new bookclub or maybe a magazine club is more my speed these days.
