Free Movies Rock!

By -
Tonight I just got back from a steller night out! Last week, my friend Megan sent me word that you could score free passes to the movie Juno. I had been seeing previews and I really wanted to go. Plus the writer, Diablo Cody, is from Minnesota, so you know that there was going to be a lot of MN references, and there was!!! I met Shannon after work and we did some uptown shopping before dinner. We both bought scarves and headed over to Chino Latino. There we met up with Ellen. We sampled some really fun drinks with some very interesting names!!! Shannon's drink came with these fruity vials to mix into her drink. Tre cool!
Along with the fun drinks we shared a couple of apps. Before we knew it, it was time to head over to the Lagoon to meet up with Megan. The place was packed, because it was first come first serve only. Luckily we were in right away, found some good seats and enjoyed the show.

It really was a great movie, witty humor, and YES! lots of MN city references! Plus at the end of the show we all received Juno T-shirts! How fab! I love a good dinner and a movie!
And if that wasn't enough, after all the hoopla I went home to see who won the title of America's Next Top Model. Well Kelly and i picked the right girl from the start... cause we're good like that. The prize: A dinner for the three of us at Chambers in Minneapolis. Posh Posh! More fun and frivolity continues tomorrow....

Oh, superfluous and sensible of shoe... you guys must be kindred spirits. Half the time I don't have a clue who or what you are talking about! Rain Wilson? Maybe it's a MN thing..?

Oh, I bet you mean Rainn Dietrich Wilson, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife, fiction writer Holiday Reinhorn (Big Cats), and his son, Walter Mckenzie Wilson who was born in 2004. I know THAT Rainn Wilson.

TWD - Cranberry Upside-Downer

I am so excited to be the one to have picked this recipe for the week! I started baking with Tuesdays with Dorie two years ago around this time. At that time, it looked like it might be around 4 years before i picked a recipe. So to find out that it was my turn, I was ecstatic! I've had so much fun baking with all the great people who participate with TWD and have enjoyed making blogging buddies all over the country... and world! This weeks recipe was actually partially picked by my Hubby. There are not that many recipes left! Can you believe that soon we will have made EVERYTHING in the book? But the Cranberry Upside-Downer was an easy pick, especially for this time of year. I was able to find frozen cranberries, although I almost couldn't find them and almost went with cherries. This one was very easy to make, the only thing i worried about was flipping the cake. But alas everything turned out beautifully!! I love the color, the scent and look of this cake once flipped. We di
