FCM Book Club: The Help

The FCM book club was hosted by Cindy Jett in March.  The book we discussed was The Help.  Book club, for this group at least, is a reason to get together, eat good food, have cocktails and, if we can fit it in, talk about the book.  The meeting in March was a first for the FCM book club in the fact that everyone who attended, excluding our youngest member, had read the book in it's entirety!
Fried Chicken

The Menu
Cindy wanted to serve traditional Southern comfort food.  The menu consisted of homemade fried chicken, brussle sprouts with bacon, corn puddin', and corn pone.  The cocktail Skylar served was a Sazerac, a must have at any Southern themed get together!
Brussle Sprouts





Dinner was, of course, followed by a chocolate pie.

The Table

Cindy set the table using fresh flowers from her garden.



So far the FCM book club has been hosted by Katie Ashby, Skylar Jett, and Cindy Jett.  All of the meetings were  very wonderful. Up next is Amanda Balderrama and The Glass Castle.
