FCM Book Club: Where'd You Go Bernadette?

Jamie was a wonderful host to our discussion of the book Where’d You Go Bernadette, by Maria Semple. We loved the book and her meal!


A Seasonal Ale Perfect for the Antarctic Setting

Delicious Stuffed Mushrooms

Bacon Wrapped Chicken and Greens with Basil Infused Vinaigrette

The main dish was fabulous! A chicken breast pounded flat and stuffed with whipped chive cream cheese, wrapped in bacon and broiled in the oven. Find a similar recipe here. If you can not find whipped cream cheese make your own like Jamie did with her electric mixer. The salad  was topped with a dressing that included a basil infused extra virgin olive oil. Just remember to use fresh greens not bagged when serving a light dressing. Jamie served a warm apple crumb cake for dessert. We could not help but have two servings!

Blue Curaçao Liqueur Gives a Glacial Color

The cocktail of the evening was a Cry Baby Blues which you make by combining:

·         4 1/2 oz strawberry guava juice

·         1 oz Blue Curacao liqueur

·         1 oz triple distilled vodka of your choice

Shake in a cocktail shaker.

The Ladies...Poppy too.

Thanks to our good friend, Glen Tulloch, for the recommendation! We could all use a little of Bernadette’s spirit......Glen's too.
