"Salad As A Meal: Healthy Main Dish Salads for Every Season."
I have joined her blog challenge and will be creating meals from her new book and blogging about them. Tonight is the kick off with her recipe
"Provence on a Plate: Eggplant, Tomatoes, Goat Cheese, and Tapenade."

I'll check back to let you know how it goes, but it sounds delicious and easy. Perfect as the warm weather begins. It is one of the recipes created at Patricia's cooking school at her house in Provence...hmmmm, I can almost feel the warmth of the sun.

Eric Pooley - Climate War

Fascinating is what Sunday's event with Eric Pooley, author of "The Climate War" will be at the New Canaan Library, 5:00PM!

Eric Pooley, Deputy Editor of Bloomsberg Business Week does for global warming what Bob Woodward did for presidents and Lawrence Wright did for terrorists. In this epic tale of an American civil war, Pooley takes us behind the scenes and into the hearts and minds of the most important players in the struggle to cap global warming pollution.

A fight in which trillions of dollars and the fate of the planet are at stake.

Don't miss him!

Oprah's Pick

OK, The last Oprah Pick for her book club is Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom" which recently received rave reviews in the NYTimes Book Review. Do you remember that back in 2001 Oprah and Franzen had a feud over his book, "The Corrections?" Franzen made somewhat disparaging remarks about Oprah's book club after Oprah named his book as her selection, which then led to Oprah rescinding the invitation to appear on her show. Nice to see they are friends again. What a year Franzen is enjoying! We have plenty of copies, but it is flying out of the store so stop by soon.
