eat pray love & trattoria guiseppe's

Went to see the new Julia Roberts movie, eat, pray love

as part of my 'Get Out Of Jail FREE' weekend.

I have always enjoyed Julia Roberts' movies.  This movie,

however, was a refreshing change for her.  You see, she wasn't

totally written as another 'Pretty Woman' character (I loved that

movie but sometimes you can get type-cast and alot of her

successive moves tended to do that to her.)  In eat, pray, love,

Julia's character is a seasoned woman who still does not feel

her life has been fulfilled.  She pulls this off perfectly.

When I go to the movies, I believe a movie is great when

it can take me away to where they are and I can forget

about the present.  This movie was able to suck me in and make

me believe I was in Italy, India & Bali along with the character.

 

At one point, I really wished I was in Italy the food was so delish

looking on screen, I wanted to be next the characters eating

Proscuitto and Melon.

Following the movie, we went out to eat at one of my favorite

restaurants, Trattoria Guiseppe.  I am never disappointed with

my meal and this visit was no different.

For an appy, there was Proscuitto a Melon BUT I did not order

any ONLY because I ordered the most amazing chicken gorgonzola

and it came with mashed pototoes & green beans almondine - oh so

YUMMY!

As well, we wanted to split an order of tortellini in a blush sauce so I

skipped the appy altogether... but next time, yes, next time.

My second day was spent heading out to church to thank God

for all he's given me which was followed by a lazy day vegging in

my bed watching tv and cyberspacing.

All-in-all, I pretty good weekend.  Now it's back to the old

bump n' grind tomorrow!

P.S. (Soundtrack of eat, pray, love was awesome... may even buy it

if I can find it.)
