I met up with Val at Trinoma to watch Stardust, a movie based on a book of the same name written by Neil Gaiman. Click The City said is already showing but, unfortunately, they were so wrong. There was no Stardust anywhere! So I ended up agreeing to watch No Reservations which is what Val wanted to watch in the first place. The movie is about a tough nut chef who won’t let anybody in but of course eventually did. What can I say? It was so-so and unconvincing. At least a lot of food was shown. Food. Now that’s the saving grace for the night. And while watching, I also devoured a huge slice of pizza and a big serving of penne with meat sauce from Sbarro. Makes me want to dust off and reopen that old Italian cookbook and get cooking even something as simple as pasta.
