I had a heck of a weekend! Thursday evening, I went with a group of girls to see a midnight showing of New Moon . It was so much better than Twilight (the movie, I didn't love New Moon the book, I think largely due to Edward's absence). Would you love or even like this movie if you hadn't read, or disliked the series? Probably not, though there was plenty of eye candy and the wolves looked super cool.
yes, I wore this Thursday night...I must admit that I had a cardi buttoned up while I ate dinner to avoid embarrassment!
By Friday evening, I had a serious case of stomach flu. Not fun.
Yesterday was spent in recovery mode. I was also in super clean mode because the fam is coming over for Thanksgiving. It is going to be quite small, unfortunately. I think that I am going to set the table with a really casual feel...I'll be sure to share photos!
Last week, I found myself eating 3 meals inspired by other bloggers! SEE how important you guys are in my life?!! I wanted to give you a little glimpse. (if you follow me on twitter, you have probably seen all of these photos...sorry!)
Diana somehow managed to improve on a sandwich I eat several times per week! The addition of cinnamon was genius!
This has to be the 3rd or 4th time that I have made Gabby's pasta...my favorite add in is asparagus!
Mart and Lu's (they both get credit on this one) stuffed red peppers were perfect when I had a few that needed to be used...easy and delicious!
Have a great (short for us in the US...yay!) week everyone...I have much to catch up on after a mostly computer free weekend!

I haven't eaten breakfast yet (bad habit, i know) but these all look soo good!! i think it's cute how your husband likes twilight like you!!
where did you get your tshirt from? :)
That pasta looks ultra delish. On my way to find the recipe now.
well , i gotta admit:
i haven't read the books/series, i'm in love with everything of twilight!!
love.
Now you have to make Banana Cream Pie from the recipe I just posted last night ;)
That peanut butter & banana sandwich looks sooooo yummy.
new moon was my least fave in the series...not enough edward like you said, too much repetition... but i loved the movie! though i grew to love the twilight movie, it really disappointed me. it could have been so much more. i wanted more build up to the love story and definitely more cullen time! but maybe since twilight was my favorite book, i am too harsh on the adaptation.
my new moon weekend was so much fun though! love your shirt!
the peppers look so so good. delightful.
i wish i had had the guts to wear a shirt like that when i went friday! that food looks yummy!

UGGGH, I'm glad you're feeling better! Stomach bugs are the worst! I'd eat anything inspired by Gabby!
Good job with all of your cooking efforts, looks great! Sorry you were sicky, go away flu! Hope you feel entirely better by Thanksgiving. How fun that the hubs went to the movie with you, I had a fun tee on too but had it hidden. Lol!
stomach flus...oh my nothing is more debilitating!
but it's good to know if you didn't like the book, new moon is fun to watch...
Sounds like a fabulous (and delicious) weekend, darling!
xoxox,

I agree with your opinion of the movie, vs. the first one. It felt like the difference between a student film and a big budget film. haha. And I also liked it a lot better than the New Moon book. I'm probably going to see it again tonight, with my Mother.
that shirt is AH-FRIGGEN-MAZING!!! i need it now! bwahahahahaha! too bad about the sickness. at least you got some grub out of it. eggs benedict is one of my faves.
Omg I designed & wore a shirt last year for the Twilight screening that said the exact same thing as yours hahahaahha. We are amazing.
...I'm so glad to be a brunette!
You made me so hungry & I just had my lunch!! ...wahhh*
xo*
I love that t shirt! And I would wear one too LOL! How in appropriate for a 40 yr old, but just so much fun!
haha love the shirt! And I haven't read the book, but I liked the movies, they're pretty entertaining and cute in the puppy love kinf of way... lol. I liked the movie! It was fun! Oh and I may not have read the book but I did wikipedia the storyline, LOL faster that way!
Cool... Hmmm, I don't know how I feel about the New Moon but I know everyone around me likes it. lol!
That sandwich looks interesting but one thing I am learning and that is cinnamon makes a lot of things better. I use it in oatmeal and it tastes so good!
I hope all is well.
;-)
the stomach flu??? oh gawd, kill me. i'm so sorry. i hope you're feeling better!
the food looks delicious and yes edward does prefer brunettes (he's a smart one!)
I can't wait for new moon. I am seeing it Saturday! SO excited.
Glad you are feeling better! The flu is the worst!
That pasta looks so good. Yum!
Holy amazing t-shirt! hahah I love it! I am so glad you're feeling better now, lady.
Those peppers look soooo good!
Ooooh, those stuffed peppers look awesome! And love your shirt! xo
i love the tshirt!!! a hahahha! so funny, and SO TRUE! OH EDWARD! and i never think folks will "get" the twilight movies unless they have read the books! i saw new moon on sunday, and a row of gay guys were seated in front of me. they did not squeal as often as i did. but they murmured a lot. :)
and all these food pics are looking mighty tasty!
and the stomach flu?!?! ew. i hate that! and hope you are feeling all better by now!
Sorry you had the bug hon, hope you're all better now!
Love stuffed peppers. I do it with ground turkey to get S to eat extra healthy (he doesn't oblidge all that often). That pasta looks amazing. I should stop saying that and just make the darn thing.
Still gotta see the movie...maybe next week once the crowds have died down.
Hope you are feeling much better!
Glad to hear New Moon was good, I can't wait to see it!
What a fun weekend! And those dishes look amazing! I am definitely going to try Gabby's pasta recipe sometime this week!
Gabbys pasta is my FAVORITE!!!! YUMMM choc noodles ohhh RANTASTIC!
So glad you're feeling better love!!
I'm glad you are feeling better! And that sandwich just look fabulous :-) I want one right now!
Cheers: Evi
i LOVE your edward shirt! i have to agree, the New Moon movie was so much better than Twilight-- I disliked the book because it was quite frustrating and depressing but they did a great job with the film!

I haven't read Twilight, or seen any of the movies, but I heard New Moon is good - and that's great that your hubs went with you =)
All the food you made looks beyond delicious, and has me so hungry right now!
I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving, and can't wait to hear all about it! Hope you keep feeling better, dear.

Love that you wore that t-shirt! Too cute! The food you made looks so delish.
Hope you are feeling better by now!
xo, Becs
oh dear...I'm so sorry that you weren't feeling well:( glad you're better though!
I went on Friday at 11am with a girlfriend and it was great to see the movie with other adults (all 20 of us in the in the financial district theater we went to)...we chose it on purpose bc as people who work from home, we knew that there would be hardly anyone there during the work week. I loved it...it definitely was filmed so differently than twilight...what I like about twilight is how moody it is...all those dark shadows and the blue tone. You really feel like you're in wet Forks. You really feel how ominous the situation can be to be in love with a vampire. But this one was so bright...I guess it was meant to be warmer like Jacob is for Bella when she's so depressed and love sick. I felt like that only once in my life (thank GOD) and I wish I had a jacob to pull me out of it a bit. overall I loved it though bc I feel like the characters were more true to the book than in the first one. I'm definitely going to go see it again but I'll be lucky if I can get the hubs to go:) I made him watch it on dvd once but that's all I was able to convince him of. xo
Yes! You're alive.! Thanks God! Haha
Oh Dear, i wanna see New Moon...
& this pictures, YUM YUM!!
Have a great week.
The food looks delish!
