One of the origins around writing my book goes back to my father. In an early life he was an actor. He said actors have it made. They are never out of work. They are never unemployed. Rather “they are between engagements”. It sounds good
When I first retired I decided to say I was writing a book instead of saying I was retired or that I play golf every day that ends in “y”. It sounded good.
To be honest it was all bullshit till I hired an editor who actually liked what I wrote and convinced me to try to get a publisher interested. Now the book has been accepted by Morgan James Publishing and gets launched January 30, 2018.
The book is about supper clubs. My wife Susan and I have been in them for years. I am targeting millennials because they are coming of age where socializing over a meal is a priority. Supper clubs are a perfect enabler for millenials (and any other demographic) to have a good time over a meal. The book tells you how to organize, entertain etc. And yes there is quite a bit of tacky humor written into it.
There are lots of great menus and recipes from our supper club adventures. One of my favorites is rack of lamb. It has become one of my signature dishes. We made it for a family gathering back in April.
I have made a rack of lamb hundreds of times. That meal back in April was really special. We were celebrating the birth of my grandson Dylan and had the whole clan together. I did the cooking. My son Brian did the plating. My son in law Ethan set up the dinner al fresco.
The meal more than sounded good. IT WAS REALLY GOOD! Hopefully, the concept of supper clubs and the book “Impromptu Friday Nights- A Guide to Supper Clubs” can help people to have fun socializing over a meal
