August Book Club Eve!

Tomorrow is August book club! The books this round are Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward and The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud.

Both of these books are INCREDIBLY sad.  For that reason, our book club menu theme is comfort food.  We figured we are going to need some consoling when we discuss these two titles, so we thought consuming copious amounts of carbs, cheese, and chocolate would provide the necessary encouragement to make it through to the bitter end.  While the menu isn’t finalized yet, we do know Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies will likely make an appearance!

Book Club Eve!

Book Club is tomorrow!  To go along with our book choice This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz, we’ve decided to prepare recipes that feature the cuisine of the Dominican Republic.  This wonderful site on Dominican cooking will give us ideas and inspiration for our menu.  Posts of our discussion and pics comin’ up!

Here are our May books:
