Way Down in the Swamp

We wrestled alligators, spoke with ghosts, and journeyed deep into the Florida swamp.  All this and more in FCM's book for July, Swamplandia!, by Karen Russell. Ella Wilkerson, our newest member, hosted and she put out quite a spread. Crawfish dip, tostones, spicy gumbo, crawfish pie, and seafood nachos were washed down with rum punch!

Nachos with Crawfish and Shrimp

All of us were pleasantly surprised by the crawfish dishes.  If you are not up for dealing with whole crawfish you can purchase shelled meat from Reel Foods Fish Market in Boise, ID.

Rum Punch



Dinner was followed up by a fresh baked Key Lime pie made by Skylar and a specialty cake that looked great and was delicious.

Thanks for the great time Ella! Next up is Little Bee by Chris Cleave hosted by Katie Ashby.
