Movies on a Friday.

Every week, every other week, whatever.

Nanny McPhee - It was magical, if a little formulaic. I enjoyed it.

Stardust - A sprawling magical epic. Hmm magical trend. Michelle Pfeiffer and Clair Danes were good. And Robert De Niro was fun and light.

I Know Who Killed Me - Um, Lohan, seriously? Was it a different script you read because this is crap. Plot holes the size of her leggings obsession. I'll chalk this one up to drug fueled choices.

God Grew Tired of Us - Documentary about the lost boys of Sudan. straight forward and not very insightful. Basic fish out of water in America and tragic back ground.

Pasta.

So, the other night we made a recipe from a very delicious looking recipe book. It was a linguini with anchovies, tomatoes, and black olives. We left out the anchovies and that may have been the down fall because it had little flavor when we actually ate it. We, also, accidentally dumped all the linguini on the floor. We improvised and used other long, skinny pastas. It needed a stronger flavor and a bit of a kick. Pictures coming soon, I swear.

Tea Party Madness.

I attended a Tea Party in celebration of a friend's birthday this Sunday. I helped with some of the planning and preparations. I did the invitations with watercolor on the inside and the envolopes. We're quite tempted to start our own tea party company. We made an assortment of finger sandwiches for our edibles. Many of them had watercrest in them, which is not to be confused with water chestnuts (which are awful). I made brownies and these very delicious little open faced sandwiches. They had chicken, tomatoes, feta cheese, and black olives on top of a toasted slice of french bread. We had three teas, white, oolong, and a rose tea which was my favorite. It had a bit of a spice and was very warm. It all went very well and was quite yummy.

Thai Sprig Rolls

Last night we made Thai Spring Rolls from a recipe that I found on the Food Network site. We didn't quite follow it to the T, we didn't measure anything and we didn't have fennel. It came out pretty good, anyway. They had their own flavor due to the ginger, cilantro and mint. I would make the eggplant a larger presence if I were to do again. I'm recommending this to try. Pictures to come.

Britney Spears - Piece Of Me

Britney Spears - Piece Of Me. Okay, so she may be a hot mess and I'm pulling for her, but the girl can still make some damn catchy music.

Nice Bunny

I found this site, Nice Bunny, that has these really fun paper dolls/toys(?). I'm not quite sure they are technically but they are cool. They offer several designs to download and construct. I chose the green squidish octopus monster and it came out really well. I want to make some more and have a little army of them set up around me.
