Week 80 Recommended Read
The Red Tent By Anita Diamant
The Red Tent is a Historical fiction set in biblical times. The story of Dinah, an unvoiced woman of the bible, this is a story that follows Jacob and his 12 sons, from his daughter’s point of view.
Through Dinah’s eyes, we follow her four mothers and learn the troubles and tribulations that women endured during these trying times, and the solace they found, in each other and the confines of the read tent.
While this book is based on persons mentioned in the bible, very little of religion or Christianity is mentioned. Instead we see how the world once was, and perhaps how it could have been.
Week 80 Recipe
Creamy Dilled Garden Pasta Salad
Summer means there’s lots of fresh produce, but it’s too hot to cook. A pasta salad is a perfect solution. Throw is any veggies you like, and whip together with an easy dilled dressing. Great as a side, for a potluck, or add chicken or steak for a full meal.
