The great gatsby and food

Gosh this blogger app drives me nuts, I already had a paragraph typed out and I click over to safari, come back, and I have to start all over. It's poop.  

Anyways, here's the Great Gatsby review I promised a few weeks ago.

The Great Gatsby,

Based on the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald , directed by Baz Luhrman, starting Leonardo Dicaprio and Carey Mulligan. (Aaand some other people)

The plot centers on young nick carroway who relocates to New York in the summer of 1922, amidst the loose morals, loaded bootleggers, and rising stocks of the era.

Nick moves into a home across the bay from his rich and shallow cousin, daisy Buchanon, and her lecherous husband Tom.

His next door neighbor happens to be the mysterious socialite Jay Gatsby who throws lavish, over the top parties on a nightly basis. Jay just happens to be acquainted with Mrs. Buchanon..

Aaand ill leave it there ;)

*********

To be frank, if you read the book and liked it, go see the movie.

If you didn't read the book but you love baz Luhrman's films, go see the movie.

Obviously if you like neither, don't go see it, because then I'd have to hear you complain about it.

Also, if you can't stand movies with tragic endings, don't see it. Yes I just gave something away but hey, I might have just saved you 2 hours.

Me personally, I HATE movies that end tragically, with a few exceptions, two of those being Baz's telling of Romeo and Juliet, and Moulin Rouge. 

That, plus my love of "period set" films, equalled a must watch. 

Plus it was one if the few required AP English summer reading books 

I actually liked. 

* never again grapes of wrath or lord of the flies!

So if you like modern retellings old literature, gorgeous 

Sparkling worlds set to a catchy addictive musical backdrop 

Leo Dicaprio, and the 20's, this is the movie for you!

 Ok second topic: 

"MEAL PREP MONDAY!"

(Imagine the narrator for spongebob saying it)

A day I recently discovered, the idea behind

Meal prep Monday is that you cut and cook and prepare

all your meals for the next week/ few days however long 

and put them all in Tupperware in your fridge ready 

to be consumed in days to follow, thereby saving you

the hassle of the " crap-I-didn't-take-the-meat-out-

of-the-freezer-now-what-are-we-going-to-eat"-

Tuesdays.

I am absolutely horrid about meals. 

I always get writers block when making my meal plan

for the week, (on the rare occasion I do make a plan) 

so naturally MPM sounds absolutely fantastic to me!

Now my only problem will be whether I have enough 

Tupperware.

That, and trying to get healthy foods, which is of

course, it's own battle, but at least this will make it 

a lot easier.

Any MPM noobie suggestions or recipes? We eat 

Salmon, chicken, tilapia, dairy, fruits, veggies, dairy, and

Whole grains and legumes. Not a lot of red meat, aside from 

Occasional pork chops, bacon, and ground beef.

A random mango that I had no idea how to cut so I just

Peeled the skin off and ate it, nom nom
