5/10/2023 0 Comments The christmas cookie club bookIt promises to cool you off, yet heat up your tastebuds. I found quote a few passages that I really enjoyed and they’re going into my book of quotes.Īnyway…if you find you can’t take the heat these days, try reading this wintry tale. I could relate to the effects that the lack of daylight has on a person. It starts with a great description of winter in the Midwest. That was it for my desire to bake, too bad since it doesn’t happen often. Then I remembered it was 31 degrees Celsius (40 with the humidex). By recipe number one I was hooked and had a strange desire to go home and bake. At the start of each chapter there is a recipe for the cookie that that particular woman brought to the exchange. The story is told by Marnie, she’s the host of this year’s exchange. Each person brings 13 dozen cookies, one dozen for each member and one to donate to charity. Members come and go and new ones are referred to as Cookie Virgins. It’s the tale of a twelve Michigan women who meet each December to drink wine, talk and exchange cookies. Chick Lit and Christmas baking, it doesn’t get much better than that. Anyway…I noticed The Christmas Cookie Club on display downstairs at Brodie and thought – hmm, it *is* less than 4 months till Christmas. However, the parts about the ant colony were pretty fascinating. I thought the whole book was about ants, but it isn’t. I think Joan enjoyed it a whole lot more than me. It was recommended by Joan Rivers in a magazine I was reading. I’ve been struggling to read Anthill by Edward O.
