On Wednesday, January 18th, the Beebe Assisted Living Book Club dined on Paul Newman’s favorite recipes and foods as they celebrated the completion of the reading of Newman’s memoir. “The Extraordinary Life of An Ordinary Man” was read and discussed in hourly Wednesday and Thursday resident sessions over several weeks.
According to the New York Times, the posthumous memoir is an autobiography/biography, which “…reveals Paul Newman in his own words compiled from interviews he gave to a close friend. [The book] sheds light on the self-doubt of the seemingly imperturbable Hollywood star.”
Dining in Mayflower’s J&B Bistro, Beebe Book Club members enjoyed a delicious dinner, which included dessert and wine. See the accompanying menu. Created and served by Mayflower’s Foodservices staff, the event, according to Cecelia Bagnoli, Mayflower Community Life Coordinator, “…helped us celebrate our completion of Paul Newman’s memoir with a delicious meal and fun conversation. The rum ice cream was a crowd-pleaser!”
Oh, the fun just doesn’t stop at Mayflower!
