Although I’m an avid & confident cook and baker, there are some kitchen projects I leave for the pros...like making jam! Demon Copperhead was one of my favorite books this year, I wish I’d known about your book club discussion. What are you reading & discussing next, and when?
I'm very impressed that you didn't swear (I would have) and that you had the presence of mind to photograph the disaster for your blog - or maybe you didn't have that in mind at the time. I am going to attempt mulberry jam today and I have not had a good track record - everything from totally runny to stiff as a board. Wish me luck!
You always seem to hone in on aspects of reading or cooking that resonate for me, Marg. I’ve often picked books with a sad or serious angle that others might avoid--like reading a history of someone who lived through the Holocaust, a war, the loss of a child or parent or some other traumatic experience. If there’s a ray of hope or redemption at the end, it’s a plus. A Heart That Works sounds like it would capture my interest, with the humor and life-affirming parts most welcome. As for kitchen disasters, I’ve had quite a few. Sounds like your pie also turned out well--it looks delicious!
Hoping to join you for at least part of the book club meeting Thursday if I can swing it during the final leg of our travels. Looking forward to it!
I love that you have an *international* book club!
