What I’ve Been Reading…
I’m knocking a few more books out as I am trying to get to my goal of 100 by December 31!
The Coffee Purist: A Book Review

Relish Trays and Brandy Old Fashions
Not familiar with the Midwestern supper club traditions? Read Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club by J. Ryan Stradal and you will be.
