Desperately Coveted, part 56 of 1774

Friday, September 22, 2006


Just added to my Amazon wishlist: Jamie Oliver's new cookbook for beginners, Cook With Jamie, which is out in Singapore but not yet on the U.S. Amazon.com. (Mike surmises that they may be taking their sweet time "translating" the metric conversions. I can't believe I'm being punished for thinking in cups, not grams!)

And also, fantastic made-for-TV teen film Dance 'til Dawn, which I went looking for today after having an internal puce vs. chartreuse debate. (Don't ask.) Anyway, if you've seen this movie, you'll know that Christina Applegate wants the prom theme to be "Paris in Puce" to match her dress. Which was a darkish pink color, incidentally, and also a very poufy off-the-shoulder number with a big hair bow to match.

Ah, the 80s. How I love them and all their Jessica McClintock-y goodness.

Cook With Jamie is actually already out in Singapore. Passed by Borders and saw it on the shelves on Thursday. :)

Oh my gosh, you have made my day! I think about that phrase whenever I hear the word puce, and I haven't been able to think of the title of the movie. Thank you! Now my husband will finally understand what I'm talking about. (He thanks you too).

On another note, great site. Sorry for the incoherent, rambling comment.

dance til dawn is a great teen flick. i remember watching it in the late 80s when i was in my teens... alyssa milano is in that movie too. hard to believe it was a made-for-tv movie. :)

it's easier to measure in cups! And I'm pretty sure my grandmother in Singapore measures in cups too.
