Marilyn’s comments from the Cookbook Collector's Recipe Exchange Group group.

I have a blog now. It's called 'Marilyn in the Kitchen," and I've attached a chat room app. to it. The chat room app. is located at: http://wxxifan.wix.com/cook-book-coll...
Our chats will take place there from now on.

Love,

Our book of the month is Clammed Up, A Maine Clambake Mystery. The author is Barbara Ross and it is the first in a series. The book was just published this month. You can purchase it at this link: http://cookbookcollectorsgroup.webs.com/ - any proceeds I get from here will go towards upgrading the website. Look at the bottom carousel widget. I know that if you are a fan of cozy mysteries, you will like this one. I just began reading it and it has my attention!!! I won't say another word about it until our discussion. I'll post that information later!

Love,
Marilyn

Make that the 3rd Monday of each month? We'll post results as comments here.

Love,
Marilyn

P.S. I'll add to calendar.

Paul said ok so I will start looking for easy recipes for him to make later today. Let's make Mondays the day to post our weekly results?

Melissa Bowersock is having a blog party in honor of her new book, Stone's Ghost, which is one of today's Goodreads.com giveaways for tomorrow. This what I'd like to see more of and whenever I come across an online book launch party that serves up recipes for the theme of the book, I will give you a heads up! The url for Milissa's party is: http://mjb-wordlovers.blogspot.com/

Enjoy yourselves!!!

I am working on a post where I tell about my Top 10 Choices of Cookbooks. I wish I knew how to add pictures to the disscussions here, but I don't, so it will be published on our website!

Also, tonight or tomorrow I will post there and here about another recipe swap.

I got the book and am enjoying it immensely! I know you will enjoy it also! It's an easy read. Flows smoothly. I haven't checked the recipes out yet. I'm saving that section for a treat at the end! Don't forget Laura will be chatting with us on August 21st!

In order to read it though you must subscribe to that website. Good news...it's free and there are no emails! It's just that I wanted something special for Members only.

Like most book clubs, we will be reading one cookbook a month. We will meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month to discuss the book in our chat room. This month I have taken the liberty of choosing Ice Cream: A Global History by Laura B. Weiss as the book to read. I have written to her publisher today asking if she will visit us. I will post the details of the chat on our Events Calendar.

At the end of the chat I will randomly choose a member's name and that member will choose the book for the following month. Keep in mind that people have budgets, so try to make sure there is a Kindle or other ebook format like pdf available for a lower cost.

Love,
Marilyn
