(well, maybe the wine helped too)

Julie's crockpot southwestern pumpkin soup

Dianne's Bavarian apple torte

Sandi's Lacy chocolate oatmeal cookies

rvb's Cranberry Chutney

The above rounded out my NYC deli night with turkey and pastrami sandwiches, chips and kosher pickles and my overnight coleslaw. I made a white bean roasted red pepper dip with pita chips for the munchie. It was fun and now I must pass on the recipes.

 
diann, I made your bavarian apple torte---very yummy.

the ladies just loved it. The raspberry jam did leak out of my springform pan, so anyone using one for this recipe---wrap it in foil. I used honeycrisp apples and they didn't come out soft enough to cut easily. I'll try golden delicious next time. I think they cook up softer. I'm going to try another one using plums for the top and no raspberry jam. thanks for a nice recipe. Oh, and I made the crust and the filling in the food processor---nice.

What book did you discuss?

We have our first book club in a few weeks and we're reading "Waiting for Daisy" by Peggy Orenstein.

 
Actually I'm speechless (my family/friends would never attribute that statement to me) I am so happy

Angak.

What books does your book club read? I have an amazing book to offer if you would be interested:
"Everyday Grace", by Marianne Willaimson. I think this book may have been an Oprah book of the month, either way, interesting and a great conversation book.

I really don't know what to say, Thank you for such a nice compliment, don't recieve them much so they usually take me by surprise.

 
I chose a light reading old Lawrence Sanders mystery, the Timothy Files.

It's a lesser known series by Sanders and I needed something light to read. Most of the books that the ladies choose for their month have more substance than this one and make for better discussion, but we went off on many fun tangents that night and before we knew it, it was almost midnight. The main character is a PI in NYC for a firm that investigates Wall Street type goings on. He is quirky, as are his cohorts.

 
it sounds like a lovely evening. FYI - it was Julie who posted the southwestern soup, she deserves

the credit. but thanks for thinking of me smileys/smile.gif
