Beef and books

So here’s the beef I spoke of last blog. 

Joe is a master of perfectly rare. 

Jan’s wild rice casserole was not too shabby. 

We were thrilled with this beautiful tablescape that Bev set for Book Club. 

Chicken salad (with cherries no less), fabulous salad and a modern take on asparagus roll ups. I used to make them with flattened white bread. This was a whole new thing with phyllo dough and grated Parmesan. It was all so good. We finished off with a berry pie that was too shy to be photographed. We read  Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk. Mixed reviews. I loved it. Many good discussion points.
