A night of...
Nov. 26th, 2009 01:05 amVelveeta...
We have strange traditions that have sprung up in my circle here. The night before Thanksgiving is the traditional night of debauchery whereby junk food of a certain order must be eaten accompanied by a movie, noteworthy, schlocky or something. Massive quantities of soda, sugarful, diet or otherwise must be consumed and I think you can see the general trend...JUNK. I pull that theme out of the whole happening.
Tonight's menu was queso dip made with Velveeta, taco chips along with Wavey Ruffles and french onion dip. Libation? Diet Coke or Pepsi for those who like sugar. The thing about eating a meal that is ONLY processed cheese really is that it tends to congeal in the intestines and lead to a bloated feeling later. O.o
I am still waiting for my digestion to settle. :P
It was a very fun night and we watched the very dated movie, "The Bad Seed", about a child serial killer who just looks so perfect it is unnerving. Very interesting. It was quite stylized and was made in the 50's but did try to get at the nature versus nurture arguments in criminology. I find the movie holds up over time and with the clear performances of the cast. I have seen the movie a few times, way back when I was in college and it was a cult favorite then. The production values of the time and the staging give it a very charming feeling from the 50's.
I am up late and rambling but we had a good night tonight. I should be off and on tomorrow as our dinner plans are late. I will do my "official message to the list" then.
Cheers and night all.
