Feeling Feathers.

I have noticed that I have an affiliation with feathers, so does the rest of the world it seems...

...But it seemed Big Bird was the original trend setter.

accurate representation?

in case anyone out there still wonders how a girl remains single in slc, the land of plenty... just take a look at this guy.

a prime example of slc bachelors in living color.

he makes me curse.

Desperately Seeking Susan.

I originally bout this 80's classic a few years ago purely for the eccentric fashion and because like every other little girl - I am in love with Madonna.

This movie is full of fashion greats that are definitely worth repeating (despite what my mum says), but after watching it yet again last night over dinner I actually learnt a few other things too.

Now, if you haven't seen this I apologize. Anywho...

The main things in this movie that I picked up was the absence of technology (it was obviously the 80's, but it was nice), and the carefree nomad attitude of Madonna's character Susan.

It once again made me question the way we are living today.

I completely understand that computers are a necessity for every day business (hello I am on one now), but do we overuse technology so much that it takes away from personality?

I noticed that in this movie when people went to lunch, were at a bar or simply having a conversation they gave their undivided attention. There were no exists to answer the phone, tweeting while saying 'don't worry, I'm listening', or talking to someone all the while looking at your computer screen.

I also noticed how simply Susan was living. From motel to motel, travelling the country with her little briefcase full of clothes and I fell in love with the idea.

It makes me realize how all of us are working these jobs that we don't like for the majority of our lives just so we can buy the things that we invented a need for. Like IPads? I know they will make you look super cool but do you really need one when you have a phone & a laptop or is that $600 that you could put towards a trip to experience things that money cant buy. Or those girls who spend $500 on a dress thats made by a designer when they can buy one thats almost identical from a little no name boutique for $50. But they wont. Just so they can tell their friends how much they paid for it.

All in all, Desperately Seeking Susan is a fantastic movie about a scandalous, free spirited American girl travelling around in clothes that I would kill for. Go watch it. Now.

Last night's dinner

Last night I wanted to make a massive pizza covered in lots & lots of toppings ... so I did. It turned out amazingly =)

I started off with cooking small pieces of chicken breast in a heap of pesto sauce & used that as a base along with some traditional tomato pizza sauce with onion & garlic.

Ok, So I was lazy & a bought a pizza base but it

was a naked pizza base.

My Ingredients

Tomato paste (fried up with onion, garlic, mixed Italian herbs and salt & pepper)

Slices of red onion

My chicken pieces in pesto, with pesto drizzled over the top too

Marinated eggplant chopped generously

Sun-dried tomatoes

Fresh cherry tomatoes chopped in quarters

Red & Green Capsicum chopped into little strips

Tiny bits of chopped pineapple

Big chunks of Danish Fetta popped on the top

Mozzarella cheese to top

And put that beast in the oven for 15 minutes

walaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
