...10.29...Dinner and a Movie...

...cheat night...or easie-peasie night...we picked up vegan pizza from our local pizzeria...they just started having vegan cheese as an option...and when I called to order she asked if I also wanted the vegan marinara sauce...well...of course...I guess I shouldn't have assumed the sauce was vegan...she said their regular sauce has cheese in it...goodd to know...the pizza was delicious...the crust was perfect...
...and when I went in to pick it up...I noticed that they have Italian Ice...so I asked if it was vegan...and several flavors are...so I got us each a cup of strawberry ice...I wish now that I had picked two different flavors...haha...but I'll probably eventually try them all...haha...they had a cookies and cream ice that wasn't vegan and another one that I don't remember...but Strawberry, Lemon, Cherry, Mango, Pineapple, Blueberry, and Blackberry were all vegan...yum!

...and I should have mentioned it yesterday in the update...I just finished reading (or re-reading - I'm pretty sure we either read the entire book (it's not long) or excerpts for some class in college)...Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness...

...the Man and I had several conversations about the book and the movie Apocalypse Now...you guessed it...that was the movie...

...I have of course seen the movie before...more than once...and I have watched the entire thing - unlike a lot of other disturbing movies...it was one of the weekly movies shown at the theater when I was at University...so that would have been the first time I saw it...also with the Man...and a bunch of his frat buddies...haha...and I think we probably watched it sometime in the mid-eighties with my sissie and her hubby...anywhoo...it was making me wish that I hadn't mentioned the book I was reading to him...if I'd known he was going to choose this movie I might not have...haha...not really possible for me as I can chatter on and on about most books I'm reading...right Mom?...

...and I think having just read the book...made it a little bit more disturbing...so I tried to knit most of the way through it...

...what have you been watching lately?...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. It's wonderful to have food options when one doesn't feel like cooking. Those fruit ices sound delicious. I don't think I've seen the movie "Heart of Darkness" but we had to read that back in high school and it made a lasting impression on me. I bought the book a few years ago as I want to re-read it.Have you see the movie "African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn? It's quite good.

  2. The last movie I watched is called The Good Nurse with Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. It's based on a true story. Quite disturbing but I know it happens. At least in this case there was a just outcome in the end. I won't spoil it in case you want to watch on Netflix. I also watched the Netflix series called The Watcher and I'm watching Fire Country on TV.

  4. That pizza looks YUMMY. How nice that you've got local options! That's so silly about the sauce, though. I mean, if people are putting cheese ON a pizza does it really need to be in the sauce?! Anyways....

    I chatter on and on about the books I'm reading, too. People kindly indugle me. :) The Heart of Darkness is one Matt has suggested to me, but is still on my to-read list.
