Yes! And actually, my bookclub is in the second edition of the cookbook, The Help

I wrote about my evening hosting this book night and we got published!

Very cool. She contacted me, asking about my cookbook group.

Do you remember the recipes that went with The Help? I'm curious about that menu.

It was my night and I chose a card party menu. I did pimento cheese finger sandwiches and

chicken salad in lettuce cups. deviled eggs. date nut bread sandwiches. pickled beans and stuffed celery. I think a veggie congealed salad too---individual cups. cheese straws and spiced nuts to begin with. for dessert caramel cake cupcakes and a tiered platter of tassies---lemon, pecan and the infamous chocolate. beverages were wine, sweet tea and coca cola in small bottles.

What is a date nut sandwich?

 

[angak1]

I baked datenut bread and cut thin slices spread with cream cheese and orange marmalade
