Thank you, Judy, for preparing a delicious Peruvian themed event for us to enjoy. Dinner included a Peruvian style salad of greens with a selection of tasty things to add and four different dressing choices, sweet potatoes and two differently prepared potatoes (a Peruvian staple) and a delicious chicken (which differed from the Peruvian ones we read about as it WAS NOT stringy!). Along with cornbread and a wonderful apple cake, no one left Judy's house hungry! Instead of wine, Claudia prepared what seems to be the Peruvian national drink of choice - Pisco Sours. (Peruvian national Pisco Sour day is always the first Saturday in February, so we celebrated a few days early).
It was our first meeting at Judy's home, which is full of many mementos (some actually from Peru, such as a guinea pig painted gourd) and Judy has delightful stories for each treasure. I love the details that Judy discovers in each book we read - for example, per our book, we enjoyed 80's music in the background during our evening. She also makes sure to note the page that formulates the title of our books. As always, our discussions are thought-provoking and insightful.
Thank you Judy for a lovely evening, and we are looking forward to the next time you host us!

Thank you Judy for such a fun and delicious dinner! I so enjoyed our conversation as well. Thanks to Claudia and Chris for keeping this blog going!
It sounds like I missed a party. :( Too sad for me. I would have loved to hear the discussion regarding this book.
Barbara, we wanted to hear your thoughts on the book, too!
