karmicdragonflyLast night was my turn to host book club. I enjoyed it -- it's been a while since I hosted. "Book Club" is also a supper club with the host providing the location, dinner, and an intro to the author/book. Total 7 of us last night.
I am still perfecting my lasagna, and this is only the 2nd time I've made one. It turned out a lot better than the first one, but I have some changes I want to try for next time! But what a shit load of work though!
And an apple pie is always a crowd pleaser. This is something I have typically made for my Christmas party every year - a party I have not thrown for 2+ years now, thanks to COVID. So it was a pleasure to bake one.
Add in a salad and some rolls and you have dinner!
One snag was that when I planned the menu, I gave no thought whatsoever to the weather. Last evening, it was 95˚F outside, and I had the oven blasting inside! My 22 year old AC unit performed admirably, but I was a bit worried about it ahead of time.
