Food!

We had a very productive morning, food-wise. First we picked up our "Bountiful Baskets" order. It's pretty cool, we pay $15 and get a bunch of vegetables and fruits. Granted, we don't get to choose but it is SO worth it!

We got strawberries and a cantalope! I was so excited!

After that we went to Gossner's to buy a bunch of economy cheese. It's basically the odd shaped pieces so it's cheaper. We bought about six pounds of colby-jack, mozerella, swiss, cheddar and muenster. We spent about $15 on it. Not only was it inexpensive but it is REALLY good cheese!
And, another picture of my rough draft set.

Friday Night Fun

James and I had a fun night, complete with a visit from the rooter guy. Apparently trees roots and sewer pipes don't mix well. While James cleaned up the aftermath, I made the dough for this:

It was really, really good. We covered it in spinach, tomatillos, green onions, Canadian bacon and tomatoes. It was sort of tricky combo but it was delicious. (The really cute polka-dot hot pad was made by my talented cousin Hannah.)

And last up, a random picture from our wedding day. It's of James with my Keller grandparents. I love how happy everyone was on our special day and it's some of my favorite people. (Don't feel bad, I have a lot of favorite people.)

Next up, ACTF in Los Angeles in February. I put most of my boards together today and it won't take long before they are all ready for the festival. And now, I just need to figure out what I am going to say so I don't look totally terrified.

New Moon...not nearly...

I just saw this movie:

I will admit that I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoy milk chocolate or wonder bread: it doesn't really do anything nutritionally for me but it sure tastes good. I enjoyed watching the film and it didn't seem as long as the actual running time.
However...


1. WHAT is up with the stupid sound effects that go along with the "sparkling?" Can't they just look like they were attacked by a glitter gun or like they fell face first into a MAC counter? Why include a sound?


2. There is a certain scene that involves running and a forest and Bella and Edward in pastel clothes. Why oh WHY was Edward in a dorky, cream colored vest? Really, Tish Monaghan, REALLY? (Apart from that, well done. Much improved from the first film.)


3. Continuity. I realize that the budget was a lot bigger and better for this film than the first but was it totally necessary to give both the nomads almost complete make-overs? Sure Laurent's dreads looked better and he really rocked the Paul Smith-ish suit but I nearly didn't recognize him! Don't get me started with Victoria! Do you really expect us to believe that during all the plotting and planning that she took time out to visit the salon to really punch up her hair color? Her wardrobe changed too, less killer-hippie, more Anthropologie.
