We Fail at Movie-Watching
Nov. 6th, 2011 11:09 amSo, I finaly made it home for a weekend. \o/
The Panda made cholent! \o/ Cholent is a yiddish word for a very heavy stew. It is made of potatoes and beans and barley and carrots and a bunch of flanken. Flanken is bones and meat which are full of connective tissue, so no good for kinds of cooking that don't cause the connective tissue to dissolve. But for cholent it is great, because the meat ends up falling of the bones and the stew, if done properly, congeals into a stew that cements itself onto your ribs and insulates like anything. Nom nom, cholent.
Also, we watched movies on TV. It was kind of pathetic.
First we watched the end of the Grapes of Wrath, were I learned that the "Ma" character looks just like my great-grandmother Bubbe Eddie, did. But in general I was quite confused because we only saw the end so I missed a massive amount of the plot. I did see the good speech, though.
Then today we watched the Wizard of Oz, which is fun because we say the words half a second before the characters do. Panda has a sign on his bathroom door: 'Nobody gets in to see the wizard. Not nobody, not nohow.' When it was time for the Flying Monkeys, they went O-e-o, and all together we went "Coo-kies." And of course, the best line, which was, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." Also, we have decided that the good witch of the North was an utter bitch. Why did you not tell me about these shoes being magic earlier?!
Anyway. There was some other humorous bit of conversation, but I forget what it was. I will edit when I remember it.
