Mini Soft Pretzles and Book Group

1 can Pillsbury Refrigerated Bread Sticks
1 egg beaten
Coarse salt (I like Kosher)
Mustard
***
Heat oven to 375 degrees
Unroll dough, separate into 12 bread sticks
Cut each in half length-wise
Roll lightly into a 10 inch rope
Shape into (your idea of a) pretzel
Place on cookie sheet lightly sprayed with Pam
Brush with beaten egg
sprinkle with salt
Bake 13-15 minutes till golden
Remove from oven, serve warm or cool
with mustard.

The second meeting of Book Group was last night.
It was much as this snack is.
Warm, comforting, and a bit spicy at times.
(that would be the mustard)
This months book,
PEACE LIKE A RIVER
brought out interesting feelings in people.
Some comforted, some spiritually fulfilled.
It was even suggested that the
author created this novel as a fantasy.
I am not quite sure about the fantasy observation,
but it was a lively gathering,
with
interesting, charming people
I enjoyed every moment.

Larry is out of town.
He left hours ago, and the house
is amazingly still.
(except for one pug dog, snoring in her bed)
We have no plans for this weekend,
(which is unusual)
and I am going to enjoy every moment of
PUTZING.
I wish you the same good fortune.
Love you.
Me.
