Hi Roxanne! So good to see you again! The book club kind of fizzled out along with mystery meals. I think it was just because of the warm weather and everyone has been busy with summer activities. Also, because we all missed YOU!!! We need you around to keep us motivated!
Any ideas for the next book?

I used to be able to do that until I got a laptop and then it wouldn't work.....
nope, doesn't work for me - darn I miss that especially the degree mark for oven temps.

Well, I don't think I'd care much for this gal, Kahlman (sp?), but I'd like to read the book. Can get it used for ~$5 on Amazon.

Here's a bit of history on her:
When French Women Cook
A Gastronomic Memoir
by Madeleine Kamman
Publication Date: 5/2002
Long lauded as one of the world’s most revered culinary instructors, French-born Madeleine Kamman’s career arose from remarkably humble beginnings in central France. As a young woman, Madeleine got her training by working in a family restaurant in Touraine and in the kitchens of France’s most respected regional cooks, who nourished her appetite for the tradition, rigor, and personal nature of cooking. Her exuberant and colorful memoir of that time—originally published over 25 years ago—tells of collecting mussels at the shore, churning butter from the milk of village cows, gathering mushrooms in nearby woods, and then transforming them into glorious food under the tutelage of her informal mentors. Over 250 recipes for the simple dishes she learned at their sides illustrate her evocative reminiscences of a bygone era in rural France. Part travelogue, part social history, part instruction manual, this classic is required reading for anyone who wants to know more about the life, times, and tastes of a woman who has helped shape American cooking.
Reviews:
"An excellent book for reading, learning, and a bit of nostalgia." —Christian Science Monitor
On The New Making of a Cook: "This monumental, professional, thorough, and well-researched book is inspiring. Combining French savoir-faire–Cartesian thinking with American ingenuity, enthusiasm, and unconventionality, Madeleine Kamman has produced a remarkable work that will be edifying for any cook but essential for the serious culinary student." —Jacques Pépin
