Magazine Club, Inaugural

A few friends had this idea… Since book clubs are so hard, why not have a Magazine Club where everyone shares an article from a magazine and talks about it over food.

The inaugural meeting was at Dusmesh Indian restaurant and it proved a fine backdrop for our unproven shenanigans. In addition to celebrating a birthday, we discussed:

  • “His Six Secret Sex Spots”
  • “Love’s Greatest Challenge: How to Cope When Your Partner Changes”
  • “Cincinnati Chili”
  • “Old St. George Church Continues to Decay”
  • “The Perfect Palette”
  • “The Rick Steves Guide to Terrorism in the World”

Discussion was lively. I learned a few things. And the Indian food at Dusmesh was super good.

This is Jeremy. It was his birthday.

Christy brought balloons. I brought my B game to focusing.

This joint was BYOB, so I brought a six-pack of Budweiser.

The food was absolutely delicious.

Christy made these cupcakes with ganache. They tasted as good as they looked.

Bennett (CityBeat— not really a magazine, either) and Laura (Bon Apetit)

Christy (Psychology Today) and me (Cosmopolitan)

Bonus Boston Cream Pie (cake) at Bennett’s after the inaugural meeting. I should mention, this is my favorite dessert of all time.
