SUMMARY:Beeton Cookbook Club: Middle Eastern Dishes

Jones Branch one month before each meeting date. Feel free to stop by\, ask for the cookbooks at the desk\, and check out any you like. Staff in the Alliston and Tottenham branches are more than happy to help you find related cookbooks in those branches as well; again\, just ask at the desk! Or feel free of course to use your own recipes\, family recipes\, other cookbooks you have access to or recipes off the Internet. \nIdeal for adults 18+.

SUMMARY:Play Reading Series: 12 Dinners\, by Steve Ross
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the dining room of 272 Aberdeen Road in Beamsville\, Ontario\, 1995. This is the room and the year in which we get to know Steve’s parents\, Jim and Bettye\, the smartest Ross and the most complicated Ross\, respectively. Steve dreads and simultaneously looks forward to monthly dinners here; seeing his parents is always nice but never without conflict. \n12 Dinners is an autobiographical\, heartfelt\, funny\, and raw story of the family’s journey toward better understanding one another. It addresses the painful but prevalent issue of depression with both humour and humility. \nDiscussion and Q&A will follow the Reading. \nRefreshments available. \nIdeal for ages 18+.
