March Book Club Meeting

Mileage: 4,673

Had another terrific book club meeting. We met at Meze Market and Cafe, an up-scale sort of place. Good wine and cheese. The group ordered sandwiches and salads and we all shared their famous Bread Pudding.

We met to discuss the book Tender at the Bone by Rachel Reichl, who just happens to be the New York Times Restaurant critic. The book is a loving memoir with funny and touching stories throughout her life. As one book reviewer put it, Tender at the Bone is a witty and compelling chronicle of a culinary sensualist's coming-of-age. Love that line!

In attendance was Rachel, Rita, Susan and of course me. Terrel had a work at a Farmer's Market, she makes home-made items and grows organic veggies and other plants, too.  She spends time at Farmer's Markets to sell them all.

Rachel's Birthday Party

Mileage: 4,261

Photos taken at Rachel's Birthday Party. Received an invite to attend my book club friend Rachel's birthday party at Shell Cafe in Pismo Beach. We had some good food and some dancing and drinks. Great time!
