| The Art of Eating In |
I hate to say this because it makes me sound like such a party pooper but I'm SUPER picky when it comes to movies and books. I always feel bad when I go on a date with my husband because there are very few generas that we both can enjoy.
The reason I am very particular is because each story I watch, or read becomes apart of me. I can remember details in movies for many many years even if I didn't like the movie or just saw a little bit of it, I can't help it. There are many times that I wish I wasn't this way. I want to go to the movies with my husband and not watch a historical or family film. Or even when we are at home to watch a war/ action movie with him would make his day but....I really don't like violence, gore, over use of bad language or sexuality anything (which is almost every movie out there except for family films).
Books have a stronger hold. When I am reading a book, suddenly my opinions may start resembling the main characters. I'm now picking back up "The Art of Eating In". It's written by a blogger in NYC who will not eat out. Instead, you watch how her life changes from when she first decided to eat in to....well I can't tell you the end because I haven't finished it. I started reading it awhile ago and I was driving my husband mad!!! While reading it I insisted on eating in for our dates or if we must eat out it had to be a local restaurant and not some chain (which is hard to find if you didn't know where to look).
So, why am I picking this book back up? Because I haven't been eating my own cooking for a little over two months. For about two months I've been too sick to even look at the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. Can you guess why food was so distasteful? Yup, I'm pregnant, and I am finally able to think about food with out getting squeamish. So, I'm using this book, not only for entertainment and recipes, but to help reignite my love of cooking. See I do use my super picky-ness for the powers of good (not just to annoy people).
Do you have any problems reading or watching movies?
Will you share the local restaurants you've been enjoying? I'd love to know. For me it's hard to eat out because now I know how much everything costs per serving, etc., and, of course, it's so overpriced to eat out! It's like I have to choose to enjoy the time and realize we are paying for the experience too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have got to read this book! I LOVE cooking and eating in. Eating out is a really fun treat because I like to order things I couldn't or wouldn't be able to make at home. It's inspirational.
ReplyDeleteWe always avoid chains when eating out. We have a few favs like Blanc Burger, Korma Sutra, Fiesta Azteca, Waldo Pizza and Jerusalem Cafe.
I hate violence in movies too. I simply can't stomach it. I close my eyes. haha
