Great read

March by Geraldine Brooks is fantastic.  If you remember Little Women, the dad is away at war during 99% of the book.  March is told from his point of view.  I highly recommend it.

At my last bookclub meeting, my friend Lynn served this delicious dessert pizza, and was nice enough to share the recipe with me!  Thanks Lynn!  This is a fun dessert to serve to guests, I can't wait to try it.

Pizza gone wrong, Or oohhhh so right
1 Box of Sugar cookie mix

1 cup water
