Back in August, I started a book club with some of my favorite people (you know who you are: jacqui, dana, brandy & candace!!). Each month we take turns choosing a book and hosting the get-together. This month, Dana (or as I have affectionately called her since grade school..Dana Burger), chose the book, "Let the Right One In". Now, one of the reasons I love book club so much is that it forces me to read things that I wouldn't normally, this book being a prime example. It's a brilliantly creepy vampire book (note: my boring, sweater vest wearing self generally chooses memoirs or something incredibly non-ficition.)!! So, Dana thought it was a very appropriate book for the month of October (Halloween and all) and asked that I make red velvet cupcakes (it is a vampire book afterall) with buttercream frosting in honor of our slightly terrifying book selection, to which I happily obliged.
Dana was lucky to find the movie version of the book at target so not only did we eat a wonderful dinner provided by Dana herself (bow tie pasta with a delicious vodka sauce and french bread with pesto....yes lawd!) and have a wonderful discussion about the book, but we also watched the movie!!
mmmmm.....
