Potluck Dinner and Movie

Just a quiet night for the Bandidas...Potluck Dinner and a "Girly Movie". Wednesday night, Kathryn and Molly (minus Carol...who is currently soaking up the rays in Sunny Florida) got together for a casual evening of food, fun and girly movie heaven. Kathryn brought the appetizer, movie and dessert and I made the entree...which like usual could have fed the entire block. (I really need to learn how to cut recipes in half). Anyway, at 7:30 sharp Kathryn arrived and our evening began. Delicious homemade hummus with Pita Bread followed by chicken in a white wine mushroom sauce. It's funny, we had no idea what the other was making but it went together perfectly....the Bandidas are always on the same page!

We finished our dinner, cleaned up, popped in the movie, grabbed the yummy homemade cookies and kicked back for an evening of relaxation.

The cookies were fantastic but the movie a bit less impressive. I think the idea behind the movie was good...a single father trying to explain a complicated relationship to his young daughter. He and his wife had split and their daughter didn't understand. He told her that she couldn't fully understand unless she knew the whole story. It was a fun storyline consisting of him telling the story of his past relationships and how they brought him to where is today. There were 3 main characters whos names were changed to create a little mystery for us and a game for his daughter. The task for the daughter was to figure out which one was her mother. Pretty cute right?

Ok, let's face it...we all know that we were really trying to figure out who he would end up with. Unfortunately, that little secret was given away in the first 30 minutes. Hello...the name of the movie was "Definitely Maybe" and one of the characters said it right off the bat!!! Not tremendously deep but good enough for a straight forward "Girly Movie". I will say that both of us were wrong when trying to guess who the mother was so I'll give them props for that. (o:

All in all a fun filled relaxing evening topped off with great food and conversation.

Stay tuned for the next event with the Bicycle Bandidas....
