I think I might start a notebook for book recommendations instead of my usual: scratched on a bit of paper lurking near the computer and then thrown out because I can't remember what it is. So 1976, is the year we lived in London and the year my daughter was born so it is significant for me. Pity I didn't draw her in the family Secret Santa because that would have been a brilliant gift for her.
Marg, I'm so excited that you're going forward with the book club idea! I know it will stimulate my reading life--and maybe add to my recipe repertoire! I am a huge fan of Book Chat, as well as of Sinù's Dash of Prosecco and Gayla's SoNovelicious, so I second your shoutouts.
Having just returned from a long-delayed trip to Paris where lemon meringue tarts of all sizes were on display everywhere, I'm eager to give Emma's meringue and lemon curd a try. I've had some spectacular failures with meringue also, so thanks for inspiring me to try again!🍋💛
Thank you so much for mentioning me Marg ❤️ I truly love Book Chat! Somehow I must have missed your last post (a bit of inbox overwhelm lately) but I gather that your book club idea is now a reality! Congratulations are in order!! 🎉
