Read Watch & Eat! w/ Family Favorites

My "Read, Watch & Eat!" are monthly events I host for fellow foodies who love to read. The Read, Watch & Eat event is one where my friends read the chosen book in advance and we come together to watch the movie version over a potluck of dishes or cuisine inspired by the book.

For the month of September, my friends and I will be reading the book, Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, and will be watching the 2007 movie version together over a Chinese inspired potluck.
