electriclandMaybe it's time I posted something with, oh, actual content.
Book club last night: much fun. I was late (my own fault, staying at the office to try and actually get something done) but not too much so.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crankygrrl, rebelling cheerfully against the whole "potluck" notion, went it alone and made chili (which was really delicious) and salad and pie (!). J brought guacamole. I made Joy of Cooking cornbread on the spot, and it turned out quite well (once I got past the forgetting-to-write-the-oven-temperature-when-copying-out-the-recipe part). Also, it was easy. Must bake more; I always forget that I enjoy it.
The book was Friday Night Lights, and I think most people enjoyed it. It did spark lots of discussion, which is always more fun than everyone showing up to say "Yeah... it was fine, I guess" (see: Girl with a Pearl Earring). Unfortunately, the woman who really hated it wasn't there.
Anyway, got home around 10:30 and finished Dogland, which has made for a really interesting counterpoint to FNL and given me a delightfully accidental, possibly somewhat subjective little course on desegregation in the South, 1959-1988. Read them both.
