"I saw something nasty in the woodshed..."


I hosted our neighborhood book club last night. After Atlas Shrugged last month, I chose something a bit lighter- Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. After reading the book and watching the 'amusing' & 'diverting' film, we agreed that the book is much more 'amusing & diverting'. Although the film is quite faithful, it seems as if it were impossible to include everything.

I served TAZO Wild Sweet Orange tea with cream and sugar, English tea biscuits, a steamed marmalade pudding, and oranges with sugar. Daphne lent me her tea and snack plates and I served it all in a Japanese Nasco 'Springtime' pattern tea set from my late Grandmother. It was all very 'tidy' & lady-like. Kevin was in the house to lend a bit of 'Seth & Rueben' influence. If you have not read this book, or seen the film, I highly recommend them both.
