I love my book club, the discussions, the girls, the food, but lately I’ve felt as though we’ve been a little off track. So in order to get us heading in the right direction once more I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I don’t do confrontation well, but I can bake, so I decided to send a (ahem) subtle message to the girls in the form of this icing.
Yep. I sure showed them didn’t I. Icing can be so threatening if applied in the right way. (It can also be downright weird too!)
Anyway, we had a wonderful club meet the other night and whilst those orange covered Penguins can be quite scary when you’re an exhausted mama with a penchant for magazines, I think I can say we are safely back on track.
ps. for anyone looking for a good book, we are are reading Room by Emma Donoghue this month. (Chosen by Angie…thanks Angie!) Highly recommend.

I’ve written about my bookclub previously and how much I love it. Even when I don’t manage to finish (read start) the book and even when I’m only a little interested (read not much at all) in the particular book of the month. Which was the case this month. We were assigned Wuthering Heights and considering we have two bonnie english lass’s in our club, one of whom put forth the book in the first place, we decided on an English theme.
So much fun theme-wise! Our beautiful host, hung flags, baked yorkshire pudding and made mushee peas. There were gin and tonics, Stones green ginger wine, scones with jam and cream and because I’m basically a goofball, I made a chocolate cake and decorated it with bangers and mash all made out of icing. Mad and fabulous all at once, just like my English friends!
So this month was more like food club although the discussion about the book has inspired me to give Wuthering Heights another shot (read actually purchase the darn thing) .
