I had a social event! So I made some social event recipes! Honestly, what is the point of being in a book club if not to foist the fried mushrooms that you don't want to eat but are making anyway for a meaningless blog project upon them?

| Mmmm, crispy pointlessness |
 |
| Was it wise to bring a dish that increases Attack by +2 to a book discussion? DEBATE ME, YOU COWARDS |
My testers were surprised to find that they liked fried mushrooms. I was surprised to find that I also did not hate them. The key, I believe, is to accidentally buy the garlic-flavored panko at the grocery store, thereby making everything crispy and garlicky.

Did I need to make more than one appetizer for book club? No. Am I at the stage of busy right now wherein I get stuck on turbo mode and only know how to function by working as quickly as possible every second I am awake? Let's just see what this artichoke dip has to say about that:
 |
| The artichoke dip says "trying to out-productive your anxiety isn't a sustainable solution" wait, what? Must have added too much mayonnaise |
 |
| I guess that honestly was pretty refreshing? |
I also remembered that I had made pepper poppers for a book club that ended up getting rescheduled back in...uh, May. But I made the dish. And it counts.
 |
| Sadly, both the recipe I used and the reactions to it have been lost to time |
ASSESSMENT: I love appetizers and I am very tired
PROJECT STATUS: Fine, it's fine
