So last night I'm invited to a book club gathering where our host, Kim B., has planned a dinner inspired by Chocolate Beach: grocery-bought chickens (the kind from under a heat lamp), bag salad, chocolate chili (yeah, you read that right), and brownies. Of course. See, heroine Bri is not much of a cook, unless chocolate's somehow involved, and then she's a regular Bobby Flay.Okay, so not exactly. The book club's menu had originally included risotto, which no one could find, but if you've read Chocolate Beach, then you'd probably agree that this was for the best :)
Anyway, we sat outside in beach chairs surrounding a fire pit that roared into the night. We laughed and ate and bagged on Ty, Bri's boss from the book. Great fun. A shout out goes to the book club gals who treated this newbie writer so graciously, and that includes stuffing me with fun foods: Kim B (thanks for the zebra flip flops and hosting the night :), Kim, Heather, Lisa, Debbie, Audrey, Donna (good job on that choco-rich chili!), and Doris.
You all Rock!

Oh my goodness, that sounds soooo fun!
Hey Julie! It's Lisa from last night's party! Thanks so much for coming. We all had so much fun and can't wait for the next book. Your blog is hilarious and it's inspired me to add more to mine!
Sounds like a wonderful time!!
Just stumbled across your blog. Congratulations on the book! That's very cool.
Thanks to you, Lisa, for the brownies. Goes to show you they can be eaten without the wallowing ;)
And welcome, diesel.
Sounds fun, I'm going to have to look for a recipe for Chocolate Chili - that sounds so me! Loved your book Chocolate Beach, looking forward to the next one!
