Hollow City Book Club

Cindy hosted October's book club meeting.  We read the second installment of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Hollow City by Ransom Riggs. These are very entertaining books with wonderful vintage photographs entwined in the story. 

Cindy does a fabulous job decorating for Halloween!

It was an unseasonably warm evening in late October so we held our annual hot dog roast!

The Menu

·         Pumpkin deviled eggs

·         Spinach dip

·         Pure Angus hot dogs roasted over the fire

·         Maple baked beans

·         Pumpkin spiced cheesecake and coffee

The Cocktail: A Pink Grapefruit Margarita

• 4 cups red grapefruit juice *Only not from concentrate please!
• 1 cup white tequila *make sure it is 100% agave
• ½ cup Orange liqueur *we recommend Patron’s Citronge
• ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice

Mix and chill for a couple of hours. For a rimmer mix 2 tablespoons raw sugar, 2 teaspoons chile powder, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Rub the rim of the glasses with lime wedges and rim with the sugar mixture.  A side note we doubled this recipe and none went to waste!

Abbie Never Quite Gets It
