REVIEW
Spilling the Beans by Clarisssa Wright- One half of the Two Fat Ladies.
This is a first nearly everyone present had read the book!! Well done girls. Jill went out on a limb for something different and had an audio version which she thouroughly enjoyed, it made driving to work a whole lot nicer. I thought maybe we could listen to part of one at a meeting, then no perhaps not as even if I have my pointer present it is hard to get a word in at times, such a lively interactive bunch we are, knitting, talking, laughing.
Spilling the Beans was given an overall"Good Book " an interesting overview of a very colourful life indeed. It was considered to ramble a bit at times and go a little off course but in general an good read.
A highlight of our conversation was a point made by the ever obsevant Gaye about a substance called Alum, you had to be there!!!!!!!!
Summer Tomato Pudding was another highlight for Jill bringing back memories of when she has something similar as a young girl, here is the recipe if anyone wants to try it, we can add to our recipe book.
Fresh plum or vine tomatoes: enough to overfull the pudding basin you will use
