OF THE LAWRENCEBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT
Check out this link to listen to book recommendations
and reviews by Phil Kuhn:
http://indiana1.theflypod.com/episodes/
recommended-books/
And this link features Phil Kuhn describing some of the
upcoming library events this month: http://
indiana1.theflypod.com/episodes/public-library-events/
Character Quality for July - Responsibility
To practice responsibility, I will know my duty and do
my duty.
This month, look at your completed tasks through the
eyes of an observer and look for things to add to your
knowledge base of responsible expectations.
The Lawrenceburg Public Library District
is a proud Business of Character.
Summer has arrived at last! It’s time for daycations,
staycations and readcations. Friends volunteers
have filled the shelves with all you might need to
travel to new realms or learn a new game or
discover a tempting recipe.
Come to think of it, Lewis Carroll might be just the
right author for all of the above! He began writing
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland on July 4, 1862,
and as you might know, each of the Alice books are
jam-packed with references to all kinds of tasty –
and not so tasty – food.
Considering that the Friends of the Library Bake
Sale is just months away (Scheduled for the
weekend before Thanksgiving, a food-centric
holiday to be sure), and since there are so many
friends to feed and families to visit during the
summer, here is a recipe for one of the better
known delicacies mentioned in Alice in
Wonderland – Treacle Tart:
Ingredients 1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust pastry 1 cup golden syrup (dark corn syrup can be used) 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 cup bread crumbs 1 lemon, zested 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375*. Press the pie crust pastry
evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
Mix the syrup, cream, bread crumbs, lemon zest,
and lemon juice together in a bowl until well
blended. Pour mixture into the pie crust.
Bake until the filling is set, 35 to 40 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Reading can connect us to new foods, lots of fun,
and family and friends. Stop by the Friends Book
Sale in either library to find a new favorite recipe,
or get ideas for picnics with children, or learn about
farmers’ markets throughout the region. The titles
on the shelves are always changing, so be sure to
visit often!
And please be sure to drop by the next gathering of
Friends on July 10, 6:30 PM at the
Lawrenceburg Library. There will be
plenty of treacle tarts for everyone!
Our fall meeting is scheduled for
October 9, 6:30 PM at the North
Dearborn Branch.
