How About These Menus?

I'm wondering if my book club should adopt the menus of The Jane Austen Book club. At Jocelyn's they had slices of Kentucky bourbon cake, both lemon and creme de menthe squares, and almond crescent cookies. Too many sweets? Allegra settled for serving cheese and crackers around the fire at her mother's but there were many glasses of wine to help wash those down. Grigg went all out (perhaps to prove "Y's" could do it as well as "X's") with his menu of green salad with dried cranberries and candied walnuts, cheeses, pepper crackers, several dips including artichoke, and, for dessert, cheesecake. All served with wine, of course. Grigg's cheesecake was "store-bought," not that that wouldn't be delicious. But Sylvia's menu of peach margaritas, followed by "homemade" strawberry sherbet served with "homemade" sugar cookies sounds awfully nice.
MMMM, mmmmmmmmmmm, good!
