The votes were between:
And the winner was...
Book: No one wants a lunch date with Ms. Kipnis. Her definition of feminism is narrow, her tone is too angry and we can't believe how much she minimized the biologically driven aspect of women's quest for germ free environments in order to spread our species. (it's about survival, DUH!)
Food: split pea soup and homemade hearty bread, eggplant dip, tofu dogs in a blanket, goat cheese blueberry almond salad, roasted cute little chicken, CARROT CAKE (Dessert Queen Tahnee does it once again!)
Bevi: Vic's Slick, champagne, water
Atmosphere: ambiant lighting for termite control with frequent flashes of light from the camera; puffy large furniture fit for a princess; hot, muggy Hilo summer weather
Best quote:
"I never travel without a hankie." - Colleen
Topics of convo: Kim's pesticide infused clothing; Emily's diatribe on why wedding planning sucks; why Time Traveller's Wife is never selected to read; Colleen's trick for avoiding eating large rats without offending her hostess; roommates with impaired sense of smell and put lopsided dents in seat cushions; allergic reactions to insect bites; average height of Italian men; what medication and facial lotion Kim should bring to Africa
