Tonight is my book club review of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I had procrastinated on reading this book and wound up 
cranking out about 4 1/2 hours of reading late last night to finish for today. Tonight everyone meets at my house for a potluck meeting based on foods in the book… my favorite meetings! Thanks to a little help from Natasha at Maw Books, I will be serving Minestrone and I think Straka as well since I am in charge of the main dishes tonight – it will be fun to see what everyone else brings!
Speaking of recipes… my meandering this morning was over to My Friend Amy’s blog where she is having a Fall Recipe Exchange. Fall is just the season for foods that bake and things that simmer on the stove… I think there is nothing like walking into a home that has just baked bread, or pie, or has had a big pot of yummy soup on all day and that house is filled with mouth water ing scents…
Ok… now I am hungry! 🙂 Have a great recipe for this time of year? Stop over to My Friend Amy’s and add it to her linky – oh and be sure to check out all the other recipes as well. I hope to put mine up later today….
Have a wonderful day all! I will be touching base again in a couple hours when my Tuesday post goes live and then again later today with a recipe and possibly a giveaway post!
Book Journey 
I was in the same position this last weekend. Had to do some power reading!
A disaster in the kitchen, all this talk of cooking makes me feel so guilty – perhaps some lessons are in order – either that or you’ll all have to post some idiot proof recipes.
pettywitter, you make me smile! I like to cook (occasionally) but I am not a pro by no means…. 🙂
There is nothing like a big pot of soup simmering on the stove all day filling your house up with rich aromas and warmth. Have a great day today!
Thanks Zia!
Sounds so good!
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorites! I hope the meeting goes well!
Thanks Alyce – it was a great discussion!
I never reread books, but this one I did read twice. Have fun tonight at the book club meeting.
Thanks Diane – we had a great time… I love discussing books with this group!
Hmm, thinking about soup simmering on the stove, or maybe even a stew. Those are fall dishes, aren’t they?
Sounds like a fun book club meeting awaits you!
Laurel yes and yes!
Thanks for the link the other day! That whole conversation exploded over here before I had a chance to join in. 🙂
Last fall I found a great recipe for a apple cider onion soup. It tastes a lot better than it sounds. I’ll have to dig out the recipe now and make it!
Thank you Lawral for the post that inspired the idea 🙂 I am interested in your apple cider soup! Wow!
I am very guilty of procrastination with the bookclubs, so I sympathize.
Where’s that recipe?
heidenkind – lol… theres a good look at that procrastination now…. I do need to get on that… I have to find it first. SO GOOD! 🙂
