Must see, must eat!

Movies have been a bit of an obsession with me this winter. Sneaking out for an early flick and an apres treat has been a weekly affair. It all started with PS I Love You, it was good, sweet and very sad. It’s quite an eye opener in terms of not taking your loved ones for granted. I did not do my famous sigh of disappointment that night when I found the toilet seat left up for the zillionth time in our marriage but instead took a minute to think about the ways my hubbie brings me joy. That night crying made us famished and we devoured some panko breaded mozerella with marina and some comforting hot cocoa with Bailies.
Later that same week I grabbed a big vanilla steamed milk and headed to Juno. It was soooo perfect! Fresh and fun with amazing graphics and my fave soundtrack of the year. A must see! It’s right up there with Amelie, Moulin Rouge and Like Water for Chocolate, some of my other all time favourites. We seemed surrounded lately by flaky chics like Britney and Lindsay it was a refreshing change to see a strong, smart, quirky girl take the lead. Her boyfriend was Michael Cera, such a cutie in his gold satin running shorts. LOVED IT! It was so good I passed on apres treats and rushed home to munch an apple and start downloading the tunes.
The next week our pick was 27 Dresses. It was light and a good chic flick. Better than I expected it to be. The best was after, we were celebrating a birthday and we ended the evening with some yummy drinks and cake. Fluffy, creamy cheesecake with berries, very appropriate. Definitely a good rental to add to your list when you are feeling like a no-brainer laugh.
As for this weeks plan, I am taking a break. I am anxious to see the Kiterunner but I so need to finish the book first so we’ll see how it goes. As for books, if you haven’t read Eat, Pray, Love it’s a fantastic book to start a new year with. As for my treat-a-rama I am feeling full just thinking of all my indulging. I really should hop on the elliptical trainer but the night is so chilly and a little creme brulee is calling…
