Everyone loved this book and one of the members even read it twice. We all agreed that it qualified for 5 stars since we would read it again. We loved all the recipes - food, cleaning solutions, and even medicinal recipes! One member even tried Bon Ami on her windows and reported great success with it. We all admired the 'waste not want not' philosophy in the book and commented on what a throw-away society we are today. There was some reminiscing about our grandparents and parents and the similarities between our parents generation and the culture in Little Heathens. We had some chuckles over a few of the passages in the book. We loved the story of Old Man Mealhouse moving his outhouse to out-prank his pranksters. And we laughed out loud at Millie's response to the question, "Are you a Christian?" "No, I'm a Methodist!"
Our restaurant this month was Oasis Cafe in Salt Lake City, a fine eatery with a very creative menu and fresh ingredients. The food presentation was amazing and the taste was even better. The dessert sampler was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. After dinner we perused the book store that shares a building with the restaurant - a neat little store with all kinds of curios, from books to wind chimes to stuffed animals.
