Summer Carbonara 15.05
Summer Carbonara is a fresh, seasonal twist on a classic Italian pasta dish. It combines eggs, Parmigiano, and Pecorino with zucchini, lemon, and mint for a lighter, brighter flavor that feels perfect for warmer days. In our class, we make it with handmade pici, whose rustic texture holds the sauce beautifully.
La carbonara dâĂ©tĂ© est une version fraĂźche et de saison dâun grand classique italien. Elle associe Ćufs, Parmigiano et Pecorino Ă des courgettes, du citron et de la menthe, pour une saveur plus lĂ©gĂšre et pleine de fraĂźcheur, parfaite pour les beaux jours. Pendant lâatelier, nous la prĂ©parons avec des pici faits Ă la main, dont la texture rustique retient merveilleusement la sauce.

La nuit sera calme - R. Gary // Le rivage des syrtes J. Gracq
**La nuit sera Calme - Romain Gary :**
Comme dans La promesse de l'aube, Romain Gary parle ici de ce qu'il a vu, connu, aimé. De Vychinski à Groucho Marx, de Churchill à de Gaulle, des héros de la France Libre aux ambassades et à Hollywood, c'est une suite de rencontres, de portraits et d'événements, une chevauchée de coureur d'aventures qui semble avoir vécu plusieurs vies : aviateur, diplomate, écrivain, cinéaste, toujours passionné, toujours amoureux de l'éternel féminin. (Ed. Gallimard)
**Le rivage des syrtes - Julien Gracq :**
Aldo, Ă la suite dâun chagrin dâamour, demande une affectation lointaine au gouvernement dâOrsenna. Sâensuit alors la marche Ă lâabĂźme des deux ennemis imaginaires et hĂ©rĂ©ditaires. Les pays comme les civilisations sont mortels. Câest Ă ce fascinant spectacle que Julien Gracq nous convie ici. Cette insolite histoire de suicide collectif laisse une subtile et tenace impression de trouble. (Ed. Corti)
**PrĂ©sentations dâauteurs**
Pour contextualiser nos échanges, Alexandra présentera Romain Gary et Julien Gracq sera présenté par Annaïck.
**Inscription**
Pour pouvoir contribuer Ă la richesse des Ă©changes, sâil vous plait ne vous inscrivez que si vous ĂȘtes certain de lire un des deux livres et dâĂȘtre prĂ©sent le jour de la rencontre.
Au plaisir de se rencontrer, dĂ©battre et discuter autour dâun verre ! đâïž

Cycle "classiques" - Eugénie Grandet d'H. de Balzac
Ce dimanche, dans le cadre du cycle général, nous avons voté pour :
**1 - "Eugénie Grandet" d'Honoré de Balzac**
"Dans la ville de Saumur vit modestement la famille Grandet : le pÚre ex-tonnelier devenu richissime aprÚs de fructueuses spéculations, son épouse, sa fille Eugénie et Nanon la servante. Ces trois femmes vivent sous la terrible coupe du chef de famille, avaricieux maladif. Dans la ville, les beaux partis se disputent l'hypothétique main d'Eugénie dans l'espoir d'épouser la fortune.
...." Babelio
**Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre :**
\- Anissa va nous faire une présentation d'Honoré de Balzac pour donner du contexte à nos discussions ;
\- Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre\.
***Et n'oubliez pas !***
Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants.
Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»rs d'ĂȘtre de la partie.
Bien Ă vous tous, bonnes lectures, et Ă bientĂŽt !
Jélila
PS : la participation pour des raisons de frais liés à Meetup (240 euros par an) est de 2 euros par personne et par an. Elle reste facultative !

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for May is "Ink"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Shut Up & Write!âą Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
âą What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! Weâve discovered that itâs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itâs true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (Iâll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
âą What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
Weâll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for allâthe venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
Monthly Meet Up (Agnes Aubertâs Mystical Cat Shelter)
This month weâll be reading Agnes Aubertâs Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett. Feel free to come and chat even if you donât finish the book!
