Weekend Menu for Book Club

I'm hosting book club this month -- our book choice was Lean In, which I need to finish reading TODAY but has been very interesting.  Particularly for a woman who was also called "bossy" as a child -- funny how that term is never used with boys.  It's also been interesting to read in view of my experiences both at a big law firm, and now more in the corporate world -- how women are perceived, how their careers are managed, how my friends (most of whom are also lawyers) manage household labor in their own relationships, etc. 

When I finish the book, I'll have to write more about it.  Anyway, right now for my own sanity, I want to make a menu list so I can be focused when I cook up a storm tomorrow.
