Silver anniversary. My book club just celebrated its silver anniversary! We have read (well at least I have read) 25 books together. We started in June 2007 and have gained some girls and lost some others but, there has been a strong core since the inception. It truly has been a highlight of my social calendar. I love the group, the food and wine and the laughter. Hoping we enjoy many more books together. I decided to do something a bit different this time and little more substantial then a small bite appetizer. The dish is a bit messy but, the end result is good and filling. I like a little more cruch in mine so, I added the water chestnuts, carrots and scallions. I think this would work great with ground chicken as well. Enjoy.
