Halloween Meeting

Hi Ladies!

Thanks for everyone's participation in the Potluck Halloween Meeting!  It was such a pleasure to have every member in attendence and in the Halloween spirit :).  Thank you Kacey and Amy for forwarding pictures from the meeting.  If anyone else had their camera send your pictures to me too (I think Heather and Sal also had their cameras- send me your pictures ASAP).  I'm attempting to make a slideshow here on the blog with all the Halloween pictures and would like to include all pictures.  Thanks!

I've made a few updates to the blog.  Please notice that I've made a list of the books we've read in 2008 along the right-hand side of the page.  These are the eligible books of inspiration for the Bluestocking's gift exchange.  There is a maximum $20 spending limit.  Siri has offered to have the gift exchange during her meeting which will be Wednesday December 3rd.  So bring your wrapped gift but don't bother labeling it for someone specific because there will be stealing of gifts!  I can't wait to see what creative gifts you all come up with this year.  Last year's gift exchange was awesome, so I hope everyone can make it!

As suggested last meeting, I'll be including requested recipes from our meetings on this blog.  At the meetings, if there are any specific recipes you'd like, make sure to tell me so that I can post the recipe or a link to the recipe for all to see!

Here's a link for Siri's delicious Salmon Tartare

Her only adjustments to the recipe is that she used siracha in the aioli and used wheat thins instead of the bread.

There was also a request for the Mediterranean Couscous dish I made.  I substituted low sodium chicken broth and used whole wheat couscous.  Very quick and easy!

Any posting with recipes, I will label as "recipe" so if you search by that label, any posts with recipe info should be presented to you.

If anyone has requests for recipes from previous meetings let me know!

November's meeting will actually be held by Siri on Wednesday December 3rd.  We will be discussing Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck.  See you then!

Happy Reading,

Jessica
