I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I loved the movie. Do drop everything you are doing, and watch it ASAP (even if you are a sworn muggle). I do not need to write about the story ofcourse, everybody has read the book, which is the most significant in the series. After three books that darkly proclaim the return of he-who-must-not-be-named, the Dark Lord makes his first full appearance in the thrilling climax.
The super long book has been condensed into a 2.5 hour movie. Although the movie tends to drag in the middle (especially the much-written-about ballroom sequence), the action sequences more than make up for this. The intial Quidditch world cup is thankfully brief. Especially thrilling are the various Tri wizard tournament contests. Daniel Radcliffe finally settles into his role, and may I say, could turn out to be the next heart throb by the time we see the cinematic version of Harry Potter and the half blood prince!
Speaking of heart throbs, Cedric Diggory is hot!
A good song
Ok.. This song is quite old now, but I finally got around to listening to it. Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson.
Good Food
I made this greek(?) dessert called Baklava. My husband once bought this from an authentic Greek restaurant in Arizona and its taste was unforgettable. I watched Emeril Lagasse make the same dish on food tv a few months later. I am not a big fan of making sweets at home, but this recipe seemed simple enough. I finally got around to trying it, and it came out great! You really cannot go wrong with this dish. Its just the perfect combination of flaky layers of puff pastry, lots of butter, honey and nuts.
Try the recipe below, or head to your nearest ethnic Greek food store/restaurant

Saw Harry Potter thanks to Amma. Wanted to see the movie before I went into labour. Enjoyed every minute of it!! I love the good old values it conveys..good over evil and a mother's love is the greatest protection in the world.
Now that you've started the Amma sentiments, I think you are totally ready for the second baby too!
I am slightly lost LB ....
I have never read Harry Potter or watched a single movie.
Ok Ok
I admit it
I've never watched the Matrix either
Any of them
Excuse me while I go hide :-(
Sunanda,
You are now a blot on our fair family name! you were the one that had the enid blyton library at home (that was my favorite part of visiting your place - the book cupboard!). J.K Rowling has been inspired by enid blyton. The Potter series is similar to the Blyton school series - only darker and far more thrilling!
