January 4, 2008, Last Night at the Lobster

Ann hosted us for a large (10) gathering to discuss Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan. Everyone loved the book. Those of us who had waited tables thought O'Nan had nailed the subject. Those who never had now know what it's like!

Ann served delicious veggie lasagna and not one, not two, but three fabulous desserts! (Flan, lemon poppyseed cake, and chocolate brownies with peanut butter chips - yum, yum, and yum!) We also had the pleasure of meeting Molly, Ann's beagle, who delighted us with her warmth and her appetite. Thanks, Ann!
