Book Club Food Ideas Novels & Stories

"Let's go a little later. I have some things to do." She dried up her hands on a towel. "In that case I'll go down to the lake and then I'll pick you up in say an hour? Is that enough time?" "Make it two. I have book club. Possibly three hours. One of the girls is bringing little chocolate glazed doughnuts. You should come!" Her book club has some of the most idle gossipers in Sunrise Cove. I wouldn't risk it. I'm past passing off for bloated. "No thank you. I'll go down to the river."

“I found those on your bookshelf. They had various bookmarks in them, so I figured you might want to continue reading them to pass the time.” I grinned. “I appreciate that.” Cecilia unpacked the food. “I also brought lunch. There’s this cute little cafe on the corner just a couple blocks down from here. Massive salads. And great soups. I got you a steak salad with extra meat, and then some thick tomato bisque soup and some of their freshly-baked bread to dip in it.” “Thank you, Cecilia.” “I also snagged you a lemon bar, if your sweet tooth starts acting up.”

“I mean, I’m down for that if you are. You women are usually all weird about eating messy food in company.” “Shit, that’s a good point,” she said. “Okay, no wings. That’s definitely a food for couples who don’t care about impressing each other anymore.” I chuckled. “We have three more options we haven’t covered. After that, I’m calling it, and we’re going to rummage in your kitchen for as many snacks as we can find and eat like teenagers.” “Don’t threaten me with a good time, Mr. Lucas,” she said. I gave her a pointed look before starting to list the choices. “Italian, sushi, or Vietnamese?”

Alpha asks her again. "First, we have to cook mushroom soup. Then, I will cook a lemon steamed fish." Luna proudly replied. "Mushrooms? Lemon steamed fish? But Luna, that is not a special meal. That is a common food in our pack. We should cook something special. We will be celebrating Alarick's birthday, not a picnic." Alpha disagreed with Luna's choice of food. "Alpha, even though we have plenty of time to prepare, it will get less and less if we argue about this." Luna uttered.

“This is happening whether you like it or not.” I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop smiling. These girls always knew how to make me feel loved. The meal was simple but delicious. Roasted chicken, a hearty salad, warm bread—it was nothing fancy, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. We sat around the table, talking and laughing like no time had passed since our last get-together. “So,” Claire started, leaning forward with a teasing smile, “any weird cravings yet? Pickles and ice cream? Peanut butter on pizza?”

She shrieked and I had to close my ears because I felt like she was going to explode my ears. “If a healthy kind of food means having fries and pancakes together, I’d recommend them for you, or maybe Roasted chickpeas and nutritious banana muffins, that's also a recommendation.” Gabriel vocalised and June scrunched her face up in disgust and glanced towards my direction making me shrug my shoulder. “Eeeeeeeeww, she ate all that??? What kind of weird food combinations are those???” She murmured and looked at me weirdly. “Don't look at me that way, you haven't eaten pancakes and fries together? If you ask me, I’d say it's a very good recommendation.” I muttered and looked away.

She shrugged her shoulders and whirled on her heels. She smiled looking at Camilla and Emlyn sitting on the couch, "We should eat out today. I have heard about a new restaurant opening." Emlyn smirked. "I've read about a new restaurant, too. We should try this." Camilla said as her gaze turned to her, "What do you say, Barbie? Clubbing or lunch outside?" She asked. She glanced at Emlyn, "We could have both." She plopped on the couch in front of them.

They did so with ease and within half an hour, they were finished. "Okay you two, now it's time to freshen up for dinner," Katherine said as she took the books from them. "I wonder what's for dinner?" Nate asked. "Well, I made roasted chicken breast with rice, green beans, sweet corn and asparagus," Ms Polly answered as she entered the room. "Yuck!" Nate exclaimed "I hate asparagus." "Now Nate, you know it's good for you and Miss Polly makes them delicious," Kat said. "I still don't like them. They smell really bad and taste like garbage," he frowned.

I asked Sheila as I looked back. “Broccoli casserole and some scalloped potatoes.” “Dear Lord, I’m gonna gain ten pounds.” I said with a laugh. “Won’t hurt you a bit. You need a little more meat on those bones.” Sheila responded with a wink. “I love when we have big potluck dinners here at Barb’s. We all eat good today and then divide up enough food to eat good again tomorrow for dinner. I have a two whole days that I have had to do the bare minimum amount of cooking. We need to do this every Sunday!”

Renea asked rhetorically. Hearing that Stella felt some chills on her back. "Let's go to the cafeteria! If we don't go now, the delicious food will be gone!" Renea said and pulled Stella away. "What's for lunch?" "I don't know, what do you want to eat?" "How about braised pork ribs?" "I am all for it." "Renea, you really aren't picky at all." The two of them talked and laughed as they headed for the cafeteria.
