2015 Marked the 25th anniversary of our Book Club. With 11 books a year, that is a ton of tomes going down! Bev hosted a beautiful event which included most of the former members. I have only been a member 15 years or so. The first book we ever read was Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. We reread the book and I have to say I enjoyed it just as much the second time around. Actually this time I identified more with the menopausal Evelyn than Idgie and Ruth!
Our menu followed what was served at the café in the book. Kathy Mowdy made this gorgeous coconut pie.
Candy slaved over fried green tomatoes. Ryan got them for her.
Kathy found the wine.
I only got a small bit of everything but that was a lot. If you have read the book, you understand the barbecue reference. Tee hee.
Fried green tomatoes
squash casserole
corn pudding
turnip greens
pulled pork

green beans
butter beans

We decided to all jam in to one table.
It was so great to see everyone. After lunch we each told our favorite book discussion and shared a meeting we enjoyed most.
Had to take two pics to get us all.
Great event...thanks , Bev.
I would really like to see Bev's house sometime. That was such a great get together you girls had. I am enjoying rereading the book too. That food looked great!!!!. Beautiful pie. MOM
