So, those are my dreams of blood. Wild, huh?  
Okay flist, I must request some more from you! Tonight I would like some ~recipes!~

Got a good recipe? Please tell me it! Your favorite dish, old family recipe, whatever you can think of. Specifically,
- Something for dinner
- For three people
- That is relatively easy to cook, as I am a totally inept cook. I don't know how to do a lot of basic stuff, because I fail. >>
- Something that will work for a picky eater (me)

Thank you and thank you in advance! ♥


Goodbye, Lenin!
It's kind of funny, because I seem to remember this movie being advertised as a comedy, when really it's anything but. It had some funny moments...in particular them rolling out the Coca-Cola banner during Alex's birthday speech, and Alex's western friend getting excited about creating fake propaganda. (Also half of Lenin's dismantled statue sailing by was good.) But mostly it's a poignant and kind of sad look at both family and government. And in this film, family and government both fall into similar roles...they are both sustained by lies as much as lies cause them to crumble. But there is also sentiment both in family and in government, no matter how broken the "system" may be. By Alex trying to keep his mother from dying, he inadvertently also ends up trying to keep communism from dying, and while he fails in both cases, he comes close enough.

...Also, I just realized that this is the second movie on my list that was about Germany during the East/West German divide and in German. \o_O/

Shrimp My Way! Very simple; just cook some shrimp in a pan with oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, and serve it over rice. It's totally delicious!
