Dinner & a Movie
“Red 2″ did not disappoint. A great collection of characters (and their stunt doubles) use their wits and old school skills to keep evil from prevailing over good. Good chase scenes. Lots of action & snappy dialog. I suspect the actors had fun making this film.
Since we went to the matinee, we ate afterwards. We went to the Barn & Grill, which was a Hen House Restaurant in a previous “life”. I ordered off the seniors menu, although I am technically not quite a senior. I had fried perch (which was done to perfection…crispy cornmeal crust and not greasy) with slaw (a little sweeter than I prefer) and green beans (seasoned with bacon and onion). All meals are served with wonderful dinner rolls and honey butter. Not a low fat or diet meal by any stretch of the imagination, but at they resembled “normal” portions.
Since we knew we were eating out after the movie, I fixed a fruit plate with cottage cheese for lunch. We had cantaloup, kiwi, and apple. We may also have a repeat fruit plate tomorrow for lunch. I plan to do the bisquick “impossible” zucchini & tomato pie for supper. Maybe with gazpacho.
We had a brief thunderstorm and some rain this afternoon. There were some dark clouds about sunset, but I think it all went north of us. The cicadas were “singing” and the lightening bugs just rising up from the grass when we got home.
