Some Like It Hot

This month's Cine-Dips will take place on Friday March 27th at 7pm at la casa del Disturbance (Jason and Yvonne's address coming soon).


We'll be watching Some Like It Hot. Yvonne has promised her favorite childhood dip and Matt is planning something spicy.


This film is a classic. Can't wait to watch it again!

Cine-Dips #1 The Big Lebowski

Cine-dips #1 was a great success. Matt made a caramelized onion and garlic dip (recipe will be posted at the end of this blog entry) it was delicious.

here's Matt making the dip:



and of course we had to try it out before feeding it to people:


Yvonne and Jason brought some amazing middle eastern eggplant dip called Imam Bayeldi and authentic pita bread for dipping.

Stephanie and Steven brought all the makings for a Dirty Ho. Here's how that conversation went:

Stephanie: "We brought stuff to make Dirty Ho's"

Jason: "What goes into a Dirty Ho?"

Manna: "Your Mom."

baddum bum ching!

I realized this morning that I only got one fairly sucky picture of my fellow cine-dippers and not everyone is even in the picture, boo!
  


Here's a picture of the dips:


Somehow I ended up with almost no pictures of the goings on of the evening and like 100 pictures of Matt doing drunk yoga after everyone went home. Here's how it began:



and then:



"you know what would be hilarious? A drunk yoga exercise video!"



"Warrior one!"



"Warrior Two!"


"Add the bind!"


"Corpse pose."


Time for bed.



The morning after . . .
