Confab

Rachele relates her recent experience at Culinary Communion, cooking from their local food menu.  We also talk about how to fit in when you're on a detox plan (i.e., how to avoid or limit drinking in social situations where drinking is expected).  The topics progress from there to a virtual free-for-all.  We're just so happy to not be talking about Cormac McCarthy's book, The Road.

This show was recorded during the July 10, 2008 Confab.

Our guests:

We've wanted to try another book club show for quite some time.  The problem is that we chose a book which contains cannibalism, hopelessness, and little -- if any -- moral redemption.  Cormac McCarthy's, The Road, isn't your standard dystopian tale.  It isn't intended to serve as a beacon for a civilization whose extrapolated path leads to ruin.  No.  Instead, it drags you into an alley, beats and rapes you (mentally), and leaves you for dead.  Is there anything good that can be said about the trials a father and son face in McCarthy's yarn?  You'll have to listen to the show.
