What Alice Forgot Book Club

 Abbie chose What Alice Forgot  by Liane Moriarty for her last book club selection of 2014.  Skylar helped her with this one because her last few selections..or all.. were not well received. You may recall that we read Moriarty’s other novel Husband’s Secret earlier in the year.  These books are fun to read and actually lead to very interesting discussions.

Everyone had busy holiday schedules so Abbie decided to do a brunch meeting instead of the typical evening gathering.

The Menu

Omelets

Oven Baked Hash Browns

Fresh Pastries

 Omelets are great because all the chopping can be done the night before and people can chose what they want in theirs.  Which is perfect for the picky guest! None of us are, though, people wanted a bit of everything.

No baking required! These beautiful pastries were baked fresh at La Flor Bakery, a real hidden gem!

No brunch would be complete without a mimosa! For a little twist use fresh squeezed clementine juice. We love Lamarca Prosecco.  It has a nice clean taste that is great on its own or in a cocktail. Plus, it is inexpensive and easy to find.

So host a brunch! Read a pager turner! Stay tuned for our next post where we feature Katie hosting The Girls From Corona del Mar by Rufi Thorpe.
