Jeanne - I actually agree with you, and I think Henna would too about too many actors are not given the notice that deserve. I have been on the verge of a boycott this year because I'm really pissed that Clint Eastwood was not given a not for Gran Torino.


The man is a genius and living legend, period. His awesome direction and style is present again in the Changeling. There seems to be some kinda political Hollywood BS going on behind the scenes with regard to Eastwood mad.gif

I was hoping you would show up with your review of the Oscars good.gif Sounds like you had a fun night ! Me too, a friend brought Chinese, I made nachos and we mixed up some Cosmos blink.gif

Jen ~ I was crackin up over Ben Stiller, then I was waiting to see if that was going to be one of those "uncomfortable Oscar moments." I wonder what J Phoenix thought of it ? heart.gif the old Hollwood pieces presented, too !

I was thinking last night as I watched the huge array and range of talent of these actors and filmmakers, and I think it was Penelope Cruz that said this, "art and movies are the universal language." I am so inspired by the creative efforts and talents of those involved in films all over the world kicking.gif kicking.gif

What's that? similar to Falafel ? Costco has some pretty good Falafel balls unsure.gif



Noooo- its this uber yummy usually rotisserie, but can be baked, chicken in Jordan... I always just assume EVERYONE knows what it is... lol They usually (at least the way I have had it) put a quarter on a mound of rice with "egg planet" boiled right in... Then serve it with of course yogert and salat! lol-my fave. is cucumber tomato salat w/yogert mixed right in!!! and you can't forget the khubz!


Sounds yummy ! I thought it was funny that Costco's Falefel was better than the first time I tried it at a ME restaurant blink.gif

Hello everyone...tongue.gif I'm excited to go to an Oscar party. We all put money in, write down who we think will win, and whoever gets the most correct wins the pot! I hope I win this year but I haven't seen a lot of the movies so I'll be guessing on some! Hope you're all having a good weekend.


Sounds fun ! I am just having a few people over and making nachos and ordering Chinese. This is my superbowl Sunday !!

Given the cultural signifigance of this dish, I really wanted to like it ! We shared Cous Cous with several different Moroccan families and it was always the chicken and vegetables. Some of these other recipes that were posted do sound tasty ! As far as the dual meaning ~ go figure ! maybe I better steer clear of complimenting any female relatives on their Cous Cous ! laughing.gif

~ Have you ever seen a film, left the theatre and wonder if your time would have been better served staying home tending to that neglected pile of laundry? Juno was not one of those films! Diablo Coty, a former stripper, wrote the movie in two months and received an Academy nomination for best screenplay. Wow, talk about your Hollywood success story!

Juno received four Oscar nominations ! This film should clearly stand out as one of the best of 2007, I'll be rooting for you tonight, Juno!

We do partake of these, "loaded grapes" on occasion together. It is important to both of us that we know are limits, and when we do drink, it's mostly in private. whistling.gif As for the cooking, I believe most of the alcohol burns off, unless you use it in a sauce over a dessert that is not cooked. Using different wines does lend some great flavors to different dishes, especially a nice Merlot mushroom sauce over steak! yes.gif
