Oscar Race

I didn't cook at all this weekend, except for Saturday's poached eggs. Tom & I ordered in or went out to eat. It was a fabulous treat. The South Beach/Kick the Sugar Diet is going well. It's pretty easy to follow even when dining out. I wasn't craving the foods I can't have until this morning, when I visited Moira's site. The picture of her Cinnamon & Cardamom Buns almost sent me over the edge. I've been waiting for her to post the recipe, but, I'll have to wait another 2 weeks to try it.
O.k. I have to change the subject or I'm might inhale a loaf of bread!

It's almost Oscar time & Tom & I are way behind on our movies. We've only seen The Aviator(liked it) & Eternal Sunshine(loved it), so last night we went to see RAY. I know Jamie Foxx is receiving so much acclaim for his performance, but we were wondering if it was all just hype. Well, it isn't. He's amazing. Never, not even for a split second, did I feel as if I watching anyone other than Ray Charles up there on the screen. I had no idea Ray Charles was such a bad ass!!! I can't get his music out of my head today, which it fine cause his music is so good. We still have to go see Sideways, Finding Neverland & Million Dollar Baby. Lots of movies to see but no popcorn for me!

Dawn! Oh, no...I'm a sabotager and I didn't even know it! From now on, I'll drop you a line when I've got a "safe" post, o.k.? ;-)

I want to go visit her site, but now I don't dare! I've been eating choclate all day! What is my problem anyway???

Now I can't wait to see Ray....as we thought it would be a big hype thing too...We're often dissapointed in that sort of thing!

We, too, are behind on our Oscar-nominated movies. But "Ray" WAS fantastic, wasn't it?! And what a joy it was to discover that it (and Jamie's performance) actually lived up to the hype. Ray was a bad dude (in a good way, I mean!). I read his autobiography years ago. Can't remember what it was called...a thin paperback I found in a used bookstore.
