movie night 12

film: chariots of fire
host: kristen
food theme: british

The Recap:
Our spread took center stage with an enormous amount of perfectly themed British fare including spotted dick (which is cooked in a can), fish and chips (of the sweet potato variety), and an array of English sweets and treats (everyone needs more cream. If the food wasn’t enough to make this evening one of the most memorable, than take a moment to recall Kristen’s most eloquent interpretation of a dramatic flailing finish, or her rendition of the scottmans training on the hill and you will soon agree that Movie Night 12 was a night to remember.

Superlatives:
•favorite quote: "I’m forever in pursuit and I don’t even know what I am chasing." – Abrahams
•favorite quote: “that sounds clever. I don’t know what it means”
•favorite snack: the devon shire cream!

Reviews:

•Kristen: the race montages make you want to grab some 80s music, strap on your shoes and just kill it. also, i feel somewhat akin to Liddell after watching his version of training – running in the Scottish mountainside in his everyday clothing. it kind of reminds me of me running for the bus every morning.

•AQM: Yadda yadda, im glad they both won, but seriously, Liddell and Abrahams should have had a race at the end.

•Emily: While training for my marathon, I always imagined crossing the finish line with graceful composure and a serene mind and body. I am obviously a total amateur and fool. From here on out, I will be practicing the correct victory facial expression, as demonstrated in Chariots of Fire (see below) Thanks Munson and Eric Liddell.

•Chris: An epic 80’s movie about the 1924 Olympic games, complete with a synthesizer soundtrack and the well known beach running scene.

•Art: The food and the beer was plentiful and the entertainment was entertaining (yay for that!). If only certain someones could crunch a little more quietly…PS Totally loved the outfits!

12/365 : Homage to Betty Crocker – 08.16.09

I’ve been reading this crazy interesting book about Betty Crocker. I’m planning a detailed paper/blog post on the subject, but let me tell you: I’m sort of falling in love.

Still, I do share the sentiment of Louisette Bertholle’s character’s chagrin in the movie, Julie and Julia. When encountering a recipe from the very book in my hand, she exclaimed, "What eez Marshmallow Fluff?!"

My grandmother owned a copy of Betty Crocker’s Illustrated Cookbook, and many of my favorite recipes came from it: Swedish Tea Rings, for instance, and glazed carrots. When they re-released the book I immediately bought a copy, and then bought a copy of the illustrated cookie cookbook, too.

As a vegetarian and a woman of the modern age, I don’t use many of the recipes, but I am one to appreciate the importance of history. I like to keep a little bit of it alive with my reinterpretation some recipes from this book.

Betty set out to assist the modern young wife in the 1920s. Here’s my homage to her with my (poor) impersonation of the modern young wife of the 1950s.

Of course, given it’s 2009, I’m not defined as somebody’s wife. No man expects me to keep him and his stomach happy. I work long hours and live with my boyfriend. Betty doesn’t help me keep a man faithful, but she does occasionally save me time and money. Saving time and money, that will never lose its relevance.
