Movies

So I saw this movie last week with my sister. I have to say I really liked it. I spent most of the movie trying not to cry and not always succeeding. Hilary Swank played her character with so much emotion and seeming transparency. I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it, but I was really happy with the ending.
I just requested The Prestige and Bride & Prejudice from the library. These two movies could not be more varied, but I can watch both of them over and over. I could not be more thankful for the library. It’s not always as quick to get the movies as it is at Hollywood Video, but I can get really anything I want for free–as long as I don’t forget to return it on time.

So this week is made of lots of food I’ve never made before, but it should be yummy! Actually, I make new recipes all the time, so it shouldn’t be too different from normal. I have some more regular posts coming up, but last week was vacant thanks to my sister coming to visit! We had a great time. Next Tuesday, we’re leaving for Iowa, so who knows how regular the posts will be then. Anyhow, enjoy the menu.
1. Smoked Salmon croque monsieur (essentially a fancy grilled cheese), romaine with a fresh dill vinaigrette
2. Giant Buffalo and Seitan Phyllo turnovers with mango chutney, cucumber salad
3. Skillet flatbread, sauteed zucchini, red peppers and parmesan cheese
4. Summer bean and cheese burritos with red pepper strips
5. Baby baked yukon gold potatoes, broccoli, cheddar cheese
6. Stuffed peppers (they’re stuffed with ground turkey, rice, black beluga lentils and whatever veggies I’m in the mood for)
Yummy!
