On December 4th, we had our annual holiday party. A great time was had by all as we read holiday stories, ate, and made merry!
Regular business: Phillip Volentine collected submissions for the song lyrics Members-Only Mini Contest after he presented his song "Movin' On". Barbara Moore announced Marcy Simmons as November's Members-Only Mini-Contest winner for her story based on the lighthouse picture presented at October's meeting.
John Brizzi announced the theme for December's contest - "Write a short story of 500 words or less that is dialogue-based."
Pictures to be added soon!
Many of you asked for Julie Brizzi's hummus recipe. Here it is:
Red Pepper Hummus
2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
1 12 ounce jar roasted red peppers in water, drained - reserve liquid
juice of 1 small lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Put everything in a food processor and puree until smooth, gradually adding a tablespoon or two of liquid from red peppers until mixture is slightly fluffy. Transfer to serving bowl and chill 1 hour.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Since 1935, Shreveport Writers Club has been a support group for writers. SWC includes writers from all stages of life. Many of us are published authors of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. Others simply enjoy sharing their thoughts in written form with other people who love words.
