For the last Book Club Monday beach read of the summer, I chose Coco Beach by Beatriz Williams. I was recommended this book by a dear friend who also happens to be Head of the Upper School at my daughter’s school. She said she was glued to the book all last weekend and just loved it. Hopefully wherever you spend this last holiday weekend, Coco Beach will tag along. Below is the summary! Happy Reading!!!
King Kong follows the ambitious young actress Ann Darrow and maverick filmmaker Carl Denham as they voyage from the bustling streets of 1930s New York to an uncharted island to capture the world’s greatest wonder. At the center of this 21st-century theatrical reimagining: a 2,000-pound, 20-foot high gorilla and the woman who risks everything to help him.
Directed and choreographed by Olivier winner Drew McOnie, King Kong features an electrifying new score by Marius de Vries (La La Land) and Eddie Perfect (Strictly Ballroom The Musical), and a book by Jack Thorne, the Olivier Award-winning writer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Don’t miss this exhilarating, emotional encounter with a legend that’s always been too big to contain.
I am still doing research for my back to school quick dinner recipes. I found this one on instagram. I have not tired it yet but it is first on my list when school starts. The claim is that this is the easiest meal EVER! Bring it on…….
– Fry minced garlic in oil (minced in the jar) for 30 seconds.
– Throw in a bag of defrosted shrimp and a dash of salt (Stop and Shop has bags of frozen peeled, deveined, tail off shrimp).
– Stir fry until the shrimp turn pink.
– Snip in fresh chilies and chives.
– Serve with linguini or rice.
