October 15, 2023 Meeting Recap

The joint meeting of the Jane Austen Book-to-Fork Cooking Club and Movie Fan Club met at the home of Joy Prevost.

We started the Pride and Prejudice (1995) movie marathon and laid out the spread of delicious food upon the Jane

Austen themed tablecloths.  The fun thing about watching this P & P all together and in review is that we’ve all seen it before and made commentaries throughout a la Mystery Science Theater 2000.  We enjoyed the comments even more than the show!  At the break we indulged in a meal that the P & P characters might have eaten.  Joy presented a plain dish or roasted chicken and peas and a ragout of mushroom and chicken with mashed potatoes. Pemberley food was represented with fruit and small cakes (cookies). We also ate meats, cheeses and salad perhaps similar to what Kitty and Lydia had ready for Elizabeth at the inn.  Watching all the episodes and sharing our thoughts was so comforting and made the 8 hours go by so quickly.

Revel in the photos of cheerful marathoners!
