Nine of us gathered at Darla's for our discussion of Mayflower and our sumptuous feast of soups provided by our hostess and seasonal treats contributed by the rest of us. In no particular order, we had: cheese soup, sauerkraut and sausage soup; popcorn and corn bread (with yummy cheese spread and apple butter); pumpkins beers and pumpkin pudding; apple cake and apple Brown Betty; the cutest little pilgrim hat cookies that can be Googled; and meade! (The drink, produced locally, and very good!)
Not everyone finished the book, although we all read at least part of it. The result was eye-opening, and we all were glad to learn some American history that is no doubt closer to the truth than what we were taught in school.
I believe a good time was had by all, and I thank everyone for putting up with the slideshow from my and Leann's recent trip.
