Boone's Farm In the Attic

For March we were Keepin' It Rural. B. was a most gracious host and served her small but enthusiastic group of guests Boone's Farm, Pizza Rolls, and Lil' Smokies. I have to say I was quite excited to have a chance to bring Cheese Whiz and potato chip sandwiches. (To answer the question that both my old man and B. asked, yes, these sandwiches really exist, and people really eat them!) Sadly, I wasn't able to find the right kind of round white bread for the sandwiches (it may only be available in rural Wisconsin) so had to make do with appetizer rye bread. I vow to all my KIR sistahs that I will do everything in my power to serve these delectable sandwiches at your upcoming bridal and baby showers, and funerals. W-Bo/Martha Stewart came through as usual with a yummy strawberry jello dish.
Our book selection was "Flowers in the Attic." Somehow, I missed reading this classic as a 7th grade girl, but I must admit I enjoyed reading it and was totally sucked in. I did have a hard time buying that teens that old (12 & 14) would so easily submit to being locked in the attic (especially since when they did "escape," all they basically had to do was walk out the front door). But just the fact that I pondered this question so much demonstrates that I was hooked. I was surprised (okay, disappointed) that there was only one, completely non-graphic sex "scene." I'm a little surprised "Flowers" has become so popular and scandalous on just a teeny bit of incest. Actually, I thought there were a lot of incestuous undercurrents between Chris and his mom (serious Oedipus Complex, why else would he put up with her crap?) and Carrie and her dad.
Well, if I had infinite time, I would probably read the whole series. See, there is a reason for mortality (it forces me to prioritize my reading).
