The Berry here for a ‘guest blog’ – Jerry passed me the baton so I can share last weekend’s events. Jerry and Murphy had a ‘boys night’, while I hosted my ‘Book Club Ladies’ in the Heart’s Delight cottages (with lots of help from Joe Friday!).
I love my book club and was looking forward to having my friends pay a visit. With a moveable feast of courses, we started in the Osprey for cocktails and appies and book talk, then moved to the Gannet to dine on Joe’s famous cod au gratin. That was followed by a lovely baked salmon with pilaf rice and salad for the main course, and chocolate pavlova with raspberries and cream for dessert.
A great time was had by all, and the ladies all agreed the Long Point Cove cottages were the perfect back-drop for Cheryl Strayed’s powerful memoir, Wild, recounting her 1,100 mile solo hike of the Pacific Crest Trail.
And with lots of creature comforts and comfie beds, good food, wonderful wines and great conversation (and no need for designated drivers this time), it looks like our first ‘Book Club Road Trip’ will be the first of many more to come. Please let me know if you’ve read and enjoyed Wild, too, or if you’re part of your own book club – maybe we can help you arrange your own Book Club Road Trip, too!
So happy you and alll the ladies had a memorable time as i did hosting everyone!,You were a wonderful group and hope to get to cook and serve you all again!
Thanks again,
Joe Friday!
Thanks, Joe – you truly made it special!
