Calling All Cooks!

Susan D. has had back surgery and will be off of her feet for 2 weeks. Prepared dishes would be appreciated until she's up and around. Hoping it's a speedy recovery!

Last Night's News ...

Thank you, to those who braved the thunderstorm to make it to book club. We had time to discuss the book and catch up with members and friends.


Our thanks also to Betty, for her kind and thoughtful suggestion to organize a donation to the library in Diane's memory from Sip and Read. It's a wonderful gesture for a true book lover! We agreed to contribute $10 each and you can drop it off to Betty, who will take care of the details for us.


Also, please drop off small portion, comfort food meals (no fish), that can be frozen, to Coreen and Joe. We all miss you Coreen and hope to see you back in the "book discussion" soon!


As requested, here's a recipe from last night:
Giada De Laurentis' Panna Cotta with Mixed Berries
Place one cup of whole milk in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin. Let stand for 3-5 minutes. Pour milk mixture into a saucepan and stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk doesn't boil, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups whipping cream, 1/3 cup of honey, 1 T. sugar & a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Half fill into wine glasses. Cool slightly, refrigerate for at least 6 hours until set. Top with mixed berries.


Also, for the cook's in our club, I highly recommend "Around My French Table" by Dorie Greenspan.
