Angelology

Book club meeting.

We discussed Angelology by Danielle Trussoni.

Only two of us actually finished the book.

I made tortilla baked chicken.

But instead of drumsticks, I used chicken breasts.

Recipe

• 8 ounces lightly salted corn tortilla chips
• 4 teaspoons chili powder, divided
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 large egg
• 2 1/2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 10)

• Accompaniment: lime wedges

Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle. Oil a large 4-sided sheet pan.

Pulse chips, 2 teaspoons chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until coarsely ground, then transfer to a shallow dish.

Whisk egg and remaining 2 teaspoon chili powder in a bowl.

Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dip drumsticks in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Transfer to sheet pan.

Bake, without turning, until cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes.

Great accompaniments...

chips and salsa and guacamole

Lizzi, our fearless book club leader

giving her thumbs up sign.

Ms. Barbaro, Lizzi's mom in the checkered

tunic.

Ms. Pearl in the black and white

shirt.

Brittany, our guacamole queen

who also provided the iced tea.

We enjoy gathering around food and discussing

a book...whether or not we stay

on topic is irrelevant.

The most important thing is having fun.

We were so thrilled that Ms. Pearl was able to join us

at this meeting.  Due to health issues she wasn't

about to attend last month's meeting.  Thankfully

she looked so much better.
