07.05 EAT YOUR GREENS

Warm artichoke spinach dip, mixed green salad, spinach pesto pasta, pistachio cheesecake, mint green tea soy lattes, and dried kiwi fruit decorated the dinner table tonight. Perhaps the colour green was too easy. Maybe we should have rented The Colour Purple, Blue Crush, or Pretty in Pink instead. It's possible then that I wouldn't have such a stomach ache from the abundance of food at our Shrek-themed potluck.

Keeping with our wintertime tradition of getting together for experimental eats and prime time TV drama, Jen, Casey and I rented the first sequel in an effort to catch up with the rest of the world already viewing Shrek 3 in theatres. Josh and Alexander joined us and both watched the flick for the second time. The movie is clever and fully entertaining, and Antonio Banderas' voice over for Puss in Boots inspired the idea for a Spanish-style dinner party next week. I still haven't seen The Legend of Zorro. Tapas anyone?
