What about that Italian Berry Gelato?!?!

Way to go Bijal!

That italian berry gelato was like a trapeeze act on the toungue (and by that, I mean it was divine). I used to be a Brindle's regular until low carb became the fad. I may be a re-convert now. (On another note: Did you know Brindle's made the San Antonio Frommer's Guide?) Then there was the cheese and wine... Everything at last night's book club gathering went down smoothly. We're hoping you can post the delectable details in a future post.

What a turn out! We were a fun and garrulous group. The book was a hit...though we couldn't quite decide if we'd recommend the book to someone else. The verdict: it depends on who that other person is. I think we were all very vocal about the stifling conditions under which women lived and the choices they were given: marriage or convent. Under those circumstances, even happy endings aren't as happy as women of our day and age would like them to be. Still, even with all our freedom and independence, I can't imagine any one of us running out for a serpent tatoo leading the way to our nether regions. Though, if I had to pick the Brunette most likely to obtain said decoration, I would pick...uhm, Danni. She's young and spirited. (and she's the most likely to notice this post and comment back) Who would you pick?



We took care of a lot of business last night. The book for May will be The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. The May book club will be hosted by Rebecca P. We also have hosts for June (Debbie & Vivian) and July (Lulu). The club is shaping up!
