Episode 11: (Hot one) Cruz gets a flash dance lesson & introduces Biryani # 2.

(This blog post was written while commuting back home on NYC Subways - 1st mobile SLAW blogging)
As we experiment and see what others like or don't like, I think we are all feeling a bit more comfortable week by week.
"SLAW is getting easier" - Cruz I kept the meal under wraps... Spa asked me this morning whether I brought Biryani and I lied naturally.
I brought:
1. Bombay Keema Biryani (basmati rice, spices, ground beef and potatoes)
2. Cucumber Raita (Yogurt dressing)
3. Chips (Popchips and UTZ)
4. Ritter Sport Alpine Milk Chocolate
Besides the plum pit issue that Cash experienced (and the spices) this was a filling delicious meal. (my biased opinion)


SLAW Started 12:20pm and we were cleaning up at 12:55pm.  
Movies, 80's movies was the discussion of the day.  I asked "what is Flashdance, everyone gasped and then went into 20 min demonstration of all 80's dance classics including Flash Dance, Dirty Dancing, John Cusack's early 80's movies and others..

For Mr X Followers: He had a very healthy meal of Pineapple Cottage Cheese and walked down memory lane listening to 80's...  That's why I call him the "Smart one"

Episode 10: Spa puts on an apron, drools over Paul and introduces delicious Joe Joe's

10th Episode and we are still here.  10th SLAW day - entering week 4 and no quitters yet.  
Its Monday 12.06.10 and congrats to Spa for putting on an apron and cooking this Sunday for the SLAW.


Spa brought
1. Home cooked enchiladas w/ ground Turkey
2. Salsa
3. Sour Cream
4. Cheese
5. Dark Chocolate covered peppermint Joe Joe's
Good Job SPA !!! [Hmmrrdhhh]
Cash's updated on (censored due to privacy act), I was counting Calories, Spa going gaga over her nephew and a bearded Paul McCartney, Mr X fantasizing about centipedes, which lead to the question of the day which lead to a discussion on M Night Shaymalan's directorial achievements.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: (from Cruz)
What is the most scary or last scary movie we all saw? If not name a recent movie.
1. Mr X said the Shining although kept talking about centipedes.
2. Spa couldn't remember much, but said she watched the Facebook movie.
3. Cash said Scream, than talked about M Night Shaymalan.  Gave away ending to "The Sixth Sense" (sucks for me cause it was on my Netflix queue, there goes 11 years wait)
4. No one really asked me what my most scary or fav. movie so I didn't say anything...  
Enough said... here are some SLAW Pics






Cash Introduced a new rule to SLAW.  We can't discuss calories esp. for the food we are consuming.  So we ate 2 Joe Joe's each, even Mr X had one and listened to "Get Back" by The Beatles  (Thats just good stuff)
