rediscovering the classics

well, i'm single for the weekend. the husband man is in st. louis drafting a fake football team and i am here - eating things without meat and watching old movies that happen to come on t.v. The first thing i did that is noteworthy is to make pioneer woman's lemon pasta. it is incredible. go make it right now, because the leftovers are even better.

the second thing i've done is watch a couple old movies. now, i'm not super into old movies, but these last two have been stellar. the first stars Dolly Parton (aka grandma dolly) and Burt Reynolds and it came out one month after i was born. If any of you are above the age of 21 you've got to check out "the best little whorehouse in texas" - its just so fun. yes, i realize that i have major moral issues with the premise but its burt and dolly in a musical! i stayed up til almost 2 am just to finish watching it. sigh. i wish she were really my grandma.

movie number two - bonnie and clyde. did you know that warren beatty used to be hot? yeah. its true, and faye dunaway in this movie could be my fashion inspiration. (and she kind of makes me want to wear fake eyelashes). i'm actually still watching it. i'll let you know how i feel about it when its over.

oh, and i saw julie and julia and in julia child's honor sara, jana and i are going to conquer julia's boef bourginion. it will take at least 4 hours and probably just as many bottles of wine. i'll let you know how that goes too.

ahhh, the single life.
