Book Club again, a small group of us, but we are continuing on!  This month was The Lotus Eaters, which follows a female photographer in Vietnam.  I thought it was very fascinating for a fiction piece.  And I had to speed read through the end to find out what happens.   So there was no talking over coffee last Saturday.  I’m Type A and like a good student, read the book…even if we never talk about it.

I hosted this month, so neatened up the little apartment, bought some more plates (I am short!).  And made Elizabeth’s Pumpkin Pie Squares.  I realized too late that I had thrown away my 9×13 and didn’t replace it.  So at 5 am that morning I had to go with the 9×9 pan.  I might reassess the topping amount in a smaller pan.  And then Deb’s Chicken Square’s for dinner.  

And my guests were so sweet to bring more tasty desserts, macaroons and cookies.
