We returned to Dolly's for the October meeting. A beautiful fall day, we sat outside at a good distance from one another.
Not a big crowd, but we chatted until almost 10pm!
Interesting discussion about various topics. This
month's book was a mixed bag. Sortof a "shrug"....a fun little read,
not difficult but a bit silly. We all agreed it's OK to read that kind
of book now and then.
And we all agreed that Dolly's poundcake was wonderful (forgot to snap a photo of it, darn) - the secret ingredient is Almond brandy. Yummm. Plus we all got to take home a slice for later!
And she shared some wonderful empanandas. Here's the recipe for the dough - fillings can be anything you'd like. Empanadas
Next month's book will be American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins, a story about a Mexican woman who had to leave behind her life and escape as an undocumented immigrant to the United States with her son.
As usual, check out the "Other Interesting Books" link for reading ideas.
We usually skip the November meeting and have a Christmas meeting the first few weeks in December. No plans for this are in place - so email the group if you'd like to volunteer to host the Christmas meeting. And remember, bring a small gift to share in the "grumpy Santa" game.
And on a sad note, Jean's father passed away recently - our sincere condolences. It has certainly been a rough year.
