The chicks donned their burkas, and the H.C.W.R. (a.k.a. Book Babes) went out on the town to Helmand in Cambridge for the most scrumptious Afghani feast. Dot hosted us to the most delectable assortment of appetizers, main courses, and desserts including lamb, pumpkin, chicken, okra, glazed carrots, with enticing spices, sauces, and delicious bread. We all agreed that The Pearl That Broke Its Shell was feat of storytelling - heartwarming and harrowing at the same time. Dear Wonderful Dot, thanks for the great book choice - and for treating us to such a wonderful meal.
We missed our absent Babes - Ellen, Diane, and Margot - and look forward to when it it our naseeb to all be together again!
