Jan, you have the idea now! She Combines her Book Club list with an Ice Cream Dessert Recipe! Here we go…
Greetings all,
We discussed “Cutting for Stone” this evening, and for those of you who have not yet read it… we highly recommend it! Abraham Verghese is a masterful author.
“Kitchen House” by Kathleen Grissom
“The Emperor of All Maladies” by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Additional suggestions:
“The Forgotten Garden” Kate Morton
“The Elegance of the Hedgehog” Muriel Barbery
“The Master Butchers Singing Club” Louise Erdrich
“Those Who Save Us” Jenna Blum
“Long Drive Home” Will Allison
Happy reading,
Jan
ICE CREAM DESSERT:12 ice cream sandwiches
Jar of Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch caramel
8 oz. Cool Whip
Heath Candy Bar chips
Layer ice cream sandwiches in 9×13 pan.
Top with caramel.
Spread with Cool Whip.
Sprinkle top with Heath Chips.
Freeze.
Take out a little while before serving to make it easier to cut.
Thanks to Steve for subscribing and kickin’ in these very “Un-Oprah-esque” titles! It has inspired me to create that as a new posting category! Here is what he has to share:
“I’m not sure where to start, so I’ll go right to books. I love to read, and listen to books in my long commute. Books I love and recommend;I’m not sure where to start, so I’ll go right to books. I love to read, and listen to books in my long commute. Books I love and recommend;
Gotta start with “To Kill a Mockingbird” (Just gave away my answer to almost ALL of my internet security questions). Must have read it 20 plus times.
Then “Flashman Series”, historial novels placing a despicable mortally bankrupt individual in significant worldwide events.
Then “A Mind of it’s Own”, a historial view of the penis. The answer as to why men rule the world. Great bed time read!
Try “The Wave”, The search for the 100 foot surf.
Curently I’m reading the graphic novel “Red Son”. What if Superman landed in Russia instead of Smallville USA?
That’s all folks! Porky Pig”
Dan loves to eat: Wrigleyville Dogs, SuperDog, Sarkis Bacon Lorettas, Chipoltle, and mass quantities of breakfast cereals!
Dan loves to pray:- just ask anyone who really knows him.
Dan loves to read : He is going to make one awesome High School teacher one day!
Now please feel free to add recommended reads, recipes, and religion. I guess these are our own 3 R’s.
I confess, I don’t have a valuable, insightful book that I’ve read to share here. But the word of God is never far if we want it near. God’s Big Table: Nurturing Children in a Diverse World by Elizabeth F. Caldwell was a recommendation listed under Summer Reading at church this monring, and it is introduced by saying, “Whoever said that what you read in August has to be mindless?”
Also, Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 was a familiar, resonant tale of Joseph and his colorful coat. Being special has its pitfalls, literally!
And in Matthew 14:22-33. Who hasn’t turned away for only a monment and felt the waves come up in an instant? Hold on Peter!
Welcome Dee! Please invite a few friends to sign up as well. I’m sharing her first comment as a post to help keep things current. Dee recommends:
Cutting for Stone…amazing book!
Helen of Troy. For history/mythology buffs, it’s fascinating and beautifully written.
Next on the shelf is The Postmistress.
