Recipe of the week

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.

I'm back - we'll be putting the selection page up on September 23rd and you can all vote for October Book of the Month.
(Thanks FGMID for holding the fort, have only just returned from holidays/newborn baby-induced coma)
lovecamping - Tillybookclub puts a list of books to vote for, you vote for the one that you want to read and then the winner gets announced. We read it and then reconvene on here for a discussion, Tilly sometimes manages to get the author along too. Anyone is more than welcome, we are having a break for the summer but keep an eye out.
Hi! Lovecamping. I'm a rather adhoc member of the book club as when I'm working, I can't get through a book a month, whereas when I'm on holiday, I average 1 every 3 days! If you'd like a recommendation of something worthwhile/memorable and not chick lit, how about "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton? I read it this summer & enjoyed it. Sorry, I can't send you my copy because we bought so much in USA that there was no room for it in my suitcase & I had to add it to the already extensive library in the villa we stayed in. Hope you like it. Oh, an if you want a reading task: How many female characters does Morton describe as "plump"?

Hello, how does the club work and can anyone join?

i would really like to start reading something worthwhile/memorible rather than another (sometimes) forgetable chicklit.

thank you

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]

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".
