I went to the dentist this morning to find out I have to get a root canal. I am absolutely terrified. I have to take anti-biotics until then which always make me feel weird. I am trying to push this out of my head completely.
On a positive note...
I am making dinner for friends tomorrow night. I just have to decide on recipes, etc. I know we will be serving our new favorite Loire Lemonade. I have narrowed it down to three selections:
1. Indian Menu: Samosas (if I have time), Chicken Tikka Masala (I made this once before and it was INCREDIBLE), and Indian Spice Rice Pilaf with dates and parsley.
2. Hungarian Beef Stew Dinner with Egg Noodles & Sautéed Spinach with Leeks and Hazelnuts.
3. Coq Au Vin with french accompaniments.
I will update you later with my decision. I am trying to get input from Mr. Foodie but he is watching TV and won't respond to questions right now. :)

Fundamental Questions about life
If you could live the rest of your life as a movie, which movie would you choose?
I heard this on BBC Radio One on my drive to work today. I posed this question on Facebook this morning with the following responses thus far:
- Labyrinth or Fifth Element
- Love, Actually
- White Chicks (this is from my brother in law)
I have been thinking long and hard about this and it is too difficult to make a decision... Here are my top 3 choices:
1. The Secret Garden (the old version) - I read this book over 12 times as a kid. Yes, I had OCD from a very young age.
2. Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst - I know she dies, but I love the clothes and glamour.
3. Star Wars - I spent much of my childhood fantasizing about being a Star Wars character. To this day I am still enthralled by space exploration and the sci-fi genre.

About Me
I love puns and stupid jokes. It drives my husband crazy. I love my two cats more than anything. I want to name my 2 future children after British Monarchs. I like to cook and bake. I love using my camera to take photos. I like to decorate cakes. I am addicted to the Young and the Restless. I like martinis and champagne. I love cheese. I love driving my car. I would agree to give up 2 years of my life for a year of non-stop traveling with my husband. I like purses and shoes. I hate body hair. I don't understand the movie Tron from the 80's and my husband doesn't understand why. I was recently converted to Star Trek obsession status in the past few years. I love my parents and my in-laws. I can't stand people who do things slowly, especially those who talk slowly and don't understand things quickly. Especially at work. I hate Bill O'Reilly because he yells all the time. I REALLY dislike hearing other people chew while they are eating. I have to turn the music/TV up loud to overcome the chewing noises.
Wednesday Night
Good evening my friends. I made the stuffed zucchini recipe I mentioned a few days ago. I was lucky because zucchini was on sale at my local grocery store. The recipe is great, very easy, and has little to no fat. Mr. Foodie really enjoyed it.
We took an evening bike ride tonight. We are lucky because Mr. Foodie's grandparents live very close so we rode over to their house and made a surprise visit. His grandparents are 86 and 85 years old! I hope we both live that long.
My Sister is thinking about starting a blog after reading mine. I offered to let her be a guest blogger to give it a spin before taking the plunge. I really hope she takes me up on my offer. I am also working on Mr. Foodie to be a guest blogger. After all, the title of the blog is Mr. and Mrs. Foodie. He assures me he is going to work on something to post on the blog. He is watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine right now and eating 2 slaw dogs. I am not kidding....
Only 2 days left until the weekend. We are going to see Julia & Julia tomorrow evening with friends. I will post a review of the movie here for all to read.

2 Pictures Game
My boy kitty Southpaw always sits on the back of the computer chair cleaning himself, and licking my hair while I use the computer.
Mr. Foodie's 1st Solo Flight frame. I haven't mentioned this before, but Mr. Foodie is taking private pilot lessons and I am super proud of him.
