This Sunday will be our book club’s first gathering.  We started the new year with a plan to read books that include both recipes and prose.  I still have about 100 pages to go in AVM and a recipe to select.  The plan for Sunday’s meeting is that each of us has to bring a dish inspired by the book.  I’ve been perusing the website for ideas, but I would love to try to prepare something fantastic and wildly imaginative.  I doubt Jeni’s ice cream will suffice (though it would be tasty).  I haven’t met all of the women in the book club yet, but the few that I know already are definitely creative. Winter is probably the worst month to attempt something that is both local, lovely, and lusciously delicious, but I’ll do my best and maybe try my luck at The North Market downtown.  If Kingsolver can do it for a year, I have to be able to find something for one day.
