Friends at my Table:
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's more than a cookbook. Filled with tips for all types of entertaining, from table settings, preparing causal get together's, to weddings. The author talks about utensils and other kitchen gadgets throughout the book. Such a hardy reference!
Recipes I will try include: Lemon and Rosemary Tart ~ Hearty
Vegetable Soup ~ pumpkin salsa

"Sometimes we are
given exactly what we need. Those
precise people that you need the most come stumbling into your life. Sometimes you don’t notice, and this is very
sad. Sometimes you lose them again. This is sad too, but not as sad. Because what you have once had together, you
have forever.”

Other books: I read a book for an author this week, being sent to the publisher next week so I'm not sure when I can mention it. A fun, contemporary women's lit novel.
I started The Painted Girls but put it down for a few weeks. My book club rescheduled our book talk with Cathy Buchanan and I want the story fresh in my memory. It's so good, I can't wait to reengage but thought it was be best to read it the week before our chat.
