Book Club goodness

Last week (or maybe it was the week before? Time is flying...) I hosted my book club for dinner, wine, and discussion.  We had selected Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger, in honor of his passing, and hoped to reflect on all that was meaningful to us about his books during our adolescence as well as what continued to be relevant in adulthood.

For dinner I served salmon (baked in a foil packet with Moroccan spices) alongside a salad I adapted from a friend, Ann.  Butter lettuce, red onion, sliced mushrooms, avocado, halved grape tomatoes, and Annie's organic Goddess dressing for the lemon and Tahini flavors.

A couple of the girls brought wine, and Dolores brought dessert, pictured above ... delightfully buttery palmier cookies with some whipped cream and strawberries alongside.  What a beautiful and decadent little treat!
