I love Christmas Movies even though I refuse to watch them until the day after Thanksgiving which is why both Charlie and David were suprised I wanted to read Zuzu Baily’s It’s a Wonderful Life Cookbook in the middle of March but being sent a review copy gave me a good excuse to read a book based on Christmas
I have a question for you would you like to join me and read Zuzu Baily’s It’s a Wonderful Life Cookbook. As we read the book Charlie can make us snacks in his Homeschool Cooking Class or we can help and host a dinner based on the book and invite our families to dinner.
I would like to tell you something funny as I was discussing Zuzu Baily’s It’s a Wonderful Life Cookbook with Charlie both Charlie and David said they don’t remember the movie so even though Christmas is months away it looks like before I finish reading the book, I need to order It’s A Wonderful Life DVD for our family to watch. Would you like to join us for a Movie Night. Charlie says he will make Popcorn and drinks for everyone.
Charlie and I can’t wait to prepare Henry Potter Pot Pie on page 127 although both Charlie and I like Chicken Pot Pies for dinner I wonder if we could change the Chicken for Beef Stew Meat and have a Beef Pot Pie which is mine and Charlie’s favorite Pot Pie. What about you which Pot Pie do you prefer and why.
Charlie and I went over facts about Frank Cappra which he can use in his Homeschool Reading Class in his report on Frank Cappra. If you are menu challenged in the back of the book they even suggest menus for us which Charlie and I can’t wait to prepare.
