What time is best for you girls?

Re: Book Club : Unbroken : October 8th

  • I thought I might do pumpkin dump cake but its rich and your cake looks rich so I might try to find something savory.
  • I'm thinking I'll bring a chicken-caesar pasta salad.

    Leslie, I have specifically avoided pinning that cake, because I'm afraid I'd pull the bowl out of the crock pot, sit down with a fork and a glass of milk, and, well, it just wouldn't be pretty.

    SAME! That is why I wanted to make it for book club, I knew it would be bad news if I made it for just me.

    BL - An abundance of rich sweets has never stopped us before and pumpkin + chocolate = awesome.

  • I can bring drinks, cups, plates, and napkins!

    My kitchen may or may not be in an accessible state at that time... I won't find out until tomorrow.

    Man, I really owe you guys something really good one of these days.

    I was going to bring that! Oh well, I have no clue what to bring, but I don't know what to make? There seems to be a lot of sweets already. Maybe the drinks? Leslie I need you address as well.

  • I'll bring something that's not sweet.  I have no idea what that is yet, though.

    I will let you know tomorrow when I find out about my kitchen.  If it will be finished by then, then I'll give you that and make something. 

  • I'm not supposed to leave campus when I'm there on Saturdays, as I'm the senior person in the library those days. So that means I won't be able to stop by, even though I get an hour lunch. :(  Someday I'll make it to a book club meeting!

    Boo!  That's a dumb rule.  Maybe November......

  • I'm bummed that I can't make it this time :-(  I have to take my 8th graders to a speech tournament. 

    I loved the book!

  • Man I totally want to come but that'll be during my day-after brunch. Sad

  • So this is a long shot, but I just wanted to throw it out there. Would anyone be interested in moving it to my wedding block hotel in Downtown Dallas? I'm providing brunch for the family from 10:30 -12, so it would be perfect timing for you guys to come after. I could provide all of the food and it's in a gorgeous room at the front of the hotel with tons of windows. I know it's really presumptuous of me to ask you guys to change all of your plans, but I would be really excited to be able to see everyone before I leave for my honeymoon. I totally understand if it's out of the question though. Please don't hate me if it's a terrible idea. Confused

    It is absolutely not a terrible idea and is really sweet of you to offer, but coming to downtown Dallas at the height of the TX/OU craziness would be horrible for me. Dallas is a 35-45 minute drive on a traffic-free Saturday, it would be an 90 minutes plus for me that day.

    I do not speak for the entirety of book club though and if the other girls want to do the hotel, I am totally okay with that and it will not hurt my feelings. I can always host another time. Smile

  • Deepthi - It's still drinks/plates/cups/napkins for me.   Our tile installation begins next Friday so I won't have an oven or refrigerator in my kitchen at all. :(

  • Hey everyone!  Just back from Vegas.  I won't be able to bring anything but myself to brunch since I'm coming from downtown, sorry! 
  • So, I'm assuming Book Club is at 11, right?
