OMG Worthy Reads, Week 82

It was good to be home this weekend and we had a fabulous time at our Supper Club get together at our friend Jean’s home on Saturday. Our friends Marti & Domenic co-hosted and made the appetizers and dessert. Jean did the main meal. Co-hosting is new for our 20-year old Supper Club and it really does reduce a lot of the work that goes into a dinner party for 12 to 14 people.

You know it’s a good evening when everyone is asking for the recipes and that’s exactly what happened. I’ll be sharing some of the recipes in future blog posts. They were over-the-top delicious and such a pretty presentation!

If you have an interest in forming a dinner group that meets regularly, check out my post How to Start a Supper Club. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy friendship and good food.

On to this week’s Worthy Reads for some interesting links from around the web. Enjoy.

Recipe of the Week

When my husband and I return from a trip, we are usually too tired to go out to dinner. I love fixing eggs for a last-minute supper and this Simple Poached Egg and Avocado Toast from Pinch of Yum is right up my alley (and so much better than fast food!).
