Dinner Date: Eggplant Parmesean & Late Harvest Chardonnay

Last night I had a dinner date with Lee. We did some shopping at Trader Joes before hand and headed to his apartment to cook and chat up a storm. We made this eggplant parmesean-ish dish with some italian sausage. It was really good. It was also just really fun to cook together. We listened to some tunes on his 'Chill Mix.'

I also got a chance to open up a bottle of wine I had sitting around at my apartment. It was the 2006 Cinnabar Late Harvest Chardonnay Dessert Wine. Boy was it amazing. Glad I brought it along.

I love chatting with him. We have so much in common it's pretty crazy.

Next up, we're gonna go rock-climbing. That should be fun!

New Blog Title

I haven't lived in the Silicon Valley for over a month. I think I need to change the title of my blog.

Netflix Film: Manhattan

So I started my Netflix subscription I got as a gift from my birthday last year. Haha... It's been forever. Thanks Sis.

My first movie was a random choice. I went with Woody Allen's Manhattan. I went to NYC in January, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind.

The cinematography was amazing. It's filmed in black and white. I haven't seen some of that camera work before in films, even though it's quite old from 1979.

The film is mostly dramatic with a few good one liners. The cast was pretty stellar too.
The storyline is about romance and maturity. Woody Allen is into this 17 year old High School girl who's more mature than he is. He falls in love with his friend's extramarital affair of a woman (Diane Keaton). However, things don't quite go his way...

4 out of 5 stars
