penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

December Book of the Month - vote for your choice here

(26 Posts)
I know, there are too many choices around as it is: endless Xmas presents, where to spend Boxing Day, who is going to get to drink and not drive on New Years Eve. But this one is a fun decision, I promise. We've got three outstanding biographies lined up for December's bookclub - have a look here and vote for the one you'd like to see as our Yuletide Book of the Month...
Fantastic news - Ben Macintyre has cleared his diary, gathered his strength and agreed to be interrogated by the Mumsnet Bookclub.

Which means we will have our discussion night on Thursday 10th January, starting at the usual time of 8pm. Ben will join us at 9pm to take questions, tell us how he works, give us all the insider infomation.

Start scribbling down anything you fancy asking him, and hope you've all managed to get hold of the book...
oops, I forgot to add the link to buy again - for those of you who still need to find your copy, buy one here
Its addictive isn't it - I keep thinking 'what on earth is he going to do next?'. Still can't get over the fact its all true.

loving this book - its so good I didnt even have time to get stressed about my scan today
Yep, sorry, I hadn't put the date of discussion as we're trying to work around the author, plus Xmas and New year etc. But to give you a provisional time, we're thinking Thursday 10th January. Bit later than usual but it'll give life a chance to get back to normal after the festivities.

As soon as we've spoken to the author and confirmed he can do 10th i'll put a post up..

CocoBear, am gutted to lose you, can we persuade you to keep going another few pages? Or is it just not your bag at all...

Oh dear, I don't like this month's book. I've given up on it, 40 pages in. Hope other people get along with it better than me!

When will December's discussion be? I've been looking for the date, but have failed so far. Thanks.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]
For a no comment face,  , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
