Orange Beach Library Reading Group

The Orange Beach Reading Group will meet at 3 PM on Tuesday, January 9 to discuss Dave Eggers’ book “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius“. The Wednesday group will meet on January 17 @ 3PM to discuss a chosen cookbook. The idea here, was to choose a cookbook with some special recipe or story that resonates with you. We will discuss the role of food in family traditions and the stories that grow up around certain menus and food items. Does Springtime mean crawfish to you? It does to me! Do moon pies mean Mardi Gras to you? Then you grew up in or around Mobile. Louisiana Mardi Gras parades do not traditionally throw moon pies! Coconuts, yes! Moon pies, no! Although the throwing of coconuts has been outlawed now. You can imagine why.
