BCCP 2011
We had some serious camera issues at BCCP but still mangaged to get some sort of a group shot.
It was a great night with a fun white elephant gift exchange, we had a first time double gift this year. Who know a wine monkey was the hot gift of 2011?!? The party of course went too late and everyone drank too much wine but had a great time!

Herbed Shrimp Dip
1/2 pound frozen shrimp (any size), thawed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 scallions, coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Crostini, crackers , or crudites, for serving
In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions, parsley, and lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate shrimp dip until chilled, at least 30 minutes (I would try and do overnight). Serve shrimp dip garnished with scallions, if desired, alongside crostini, crackers, or crudites
(I doubled this at BCCP)

Every Book Club is Different
Elizabeth sent me this article which has some good suggestions for January books.
"From what I know of book clubs, I would wager that no two are exactly alike. There are the groups who take their books very seriously and frown on regulars who have failed to read that month's selection. Then there are the ones where members might be more interested in sharing the latest gossip than discussing the book."
