Kevin: That cornbread sounds awesome. I hope you enjoy your first meeting!

Spurge: Just bring whatever you want, probably some sort of finger food. It doesn’t have to be fancy, chips or cookies are just fine.

Almost done with Them. A good read if a bit depressing.

I am not sure what to bring for snacks?

Okay, I’ve finished reading “Them,” and Felicity is reading it now. This is the third time I’ve read a Boston Skeptics Book Club book, but I’ve yet to show up for a meeting. But it looks like we’re gonna make it this time. And I think I’ll make some pepper jack cornbread and bring that along too. See you Saturday…

Scott: we’ve also read “Your Inner Fish” which discusses the fossil record–you should check it out if you’re looking for another evolution book.

Pippa: I’m pretty flexible in the food area–actually I’m probably going to bring some watermelon and maybe a cheese of some sort. You’re welcome to bring as much fruit as you want! I’ll try to remember plates too.

Mary, did your mention of strawberries mean you already have dibs on that idea? :) I’m hopeless at cooking, but I thought maybe I’d bring some fruit – strawberries and maybe cherries or grapes or something – unless you’re already on top of that.

I’ll see everyone on the 28th. I’ll be bringing cupcakes from La Cascia’s bakery in Burlington.

May I suggest adding Pascal Boyer’s “Religion Explained” or Donald Prothero’s “Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters” to the list?

It was me.

I am really looking forward to reading THEM.

From what I remember from Jon Ronson’s talk it should be very interesting.

Thanks Mary.

I’ve taken a quick run through of the past posts and noticed that Daniel Dennett’s “Breaking The Spell” is on a To Read list but hasn’t been chosen yet. Excellent as I actually own it but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.

See y’all soon!
