Twilight Trick

I used to pride myself on being one of the few people to know little or nothing about Harry Potter, Star Trek or Star Wars (and until last month- the Twilight series.) It was kind of fun to get a freakish reaction when you tell someone that you've never seen a movie, watched a show or read a book about them. Then, one day I was going to what I believed to be an innocent dinner party and I was tricked! This was no ordinary dinner party with delicious food, good friends and conversation. This was a Twilight themed dinner. Since I pride myself on also being a relatively polite person I couldn't just walk out so I sat down and settled in for two of the movies in the Twilight series. There were several very carefully planned courses to go along with the entertainment for the evening. The blood orange cocktails and some snackins' were starters. As you may imagine, garlic was a predominant ingredient- turned decorating accent (look on either side of the TV). I don't think I've ever watched two feature length films back to back before that night!! Midway through the first film, my wandering mind led me to consider the question-Do I now have to pick a team-(Edward or Jacob)? Now I get all the water bottles, t-shirts and talk. I'm not going to be forced into making that kind of alliance. No way, no how. No backing down on that. My garlic chicken entree came just in time to distract me from all this serious contemplation. After that, the most delicious moist red velvet cake and mini cheesecake with a little cherry on top almost made me tune out parts of the second movie all together. I can't say that I won't see the next movie (no trick needed.) I have to admit that this trick was an unexpected treat!
