15. Taterguy, you could eat poke salad in the fall,
but I wouldn't recommend it. Tough, woody and a little bit poisonous.

But you already knew that, dincha?

21. Luke Wilson's (lead) character is told he has a short time left to live...
...when he's diagnosed with a terminal illness, so he moves back to his boyhood town, buys a small house and wants to live out his last days in solitude. Then his next-door-neighbor notices a pattern on the stucoo on the side of his house that she says looks like Jesus. He's horrified, tries washing it off, etc., is freaked out when it becomes an impromptu shrine, and the movie progresses from there and ultimately is supposed to have a message of hope, miracles, etc., with a little dose of sarcasm and skepticism to keep it from being too sugary.

zOMG...this sounds like Shakespare reviews: Henry Poole is Here. :crazy:

Probably going to be a little on the schlocky side, but I'm in the mood for an uplifting movie. And I like Luke Wilson. And it's free.

:hi: :loveya:

My writing group meets tonight so I will grab something there. edit: Last time they had a casserole of eggs, bread, onion and spinach, I think that was really good. I might get that again. I can't stand baked goods, they'll just make me hungry.

49. i made grilled chicken with a bearnaise sauce
it was fucking delicious....most people associate bearnaise with beef, but it is delicious on chicken. I melted swiss cheese and bacon on the grill on top of the chicken for the last couple minutes. Almost like cordon bleu.
