Movie Review:
Red Riding Hood – 2.5 Rating
Amanda Seyfried as the heroine and title character of this movie was a bit disappointing. However, none of the actors had strong characters. It was as if though something was missing hampering the cast members to develop their roles and the story dragged, which says much for the writing.

It's not really a carbon copy of the Twilight movies outside of vampirism and a few things here and there. It's a mystery love story involving a girl in a triangle with two boys though her heart is taken by one. Even with that understanding the movie is weak. The trailer was much better. However, the settings are beautiful to look at.

If you’re into vampires and enjoy a mystery that involves a love story about a girl with two boys, mix in some passion then add some blood and perhaps you might be able to sit through it. If not, you may be the one yawning and disturbing your neighbor. This movie may not appeal to the masses. However, I don’t believe it will do too badly at the box office, simply because it leans more toward a younger audience, teens.

Fashion...
March 26, 2011
Accessories

As you know accessories can either make or break an outfit. They can turn a drab suit into some thing desirable or they can turn a plain T-shirt and dowdy jeans into the hottest outfit at any party/soirée.

Begin with shoes to make a fantastic impact. Heels can do wonders for any outfit especially if you want to add height but if you want a bit more stability in your walk and you’re not too at ease with heels attempt wedges. They will definitely give you the support and comfort you need. However, if you want to make your ankles look lean then stay away of ankle straps on shoes because they will cut you off in the wrong place making your ankles look chunky.

This doesn’t mean you ought to give up and throw on a pair of boots. It just means that if you ankles are lean enough then it will be alright. Be careful though with boots especially if you are concerned about your calves. Wear tall boots that end just below the bend of the knee. By no means wear boots that cut you off mid-calf.
Remember a great pair of shoes isn’t the only way to kick an outfit into high gear.
Consider other accessories, such as handbags that coordinate with your height and size. If you’re petite using an oversized bag like a clutch may be a bit overwhelming for your small frame so go for the trendy day clutch.

Mmmm Recipe...
Molten Chocolate Cakes
by Jean-Georges Vongerichten
This supremely rich and chocolaty original is in a class by itself!

Pairing Suggestion
Chocolate is too intense and bitter for many sweet wines, but not port. Try this dessert with a Ruby Porto.

INGREDIENTS
1 stick (4 ounces) of unsalted butter
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably Valrhona
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS
• Preheat the oven to 450°. Butter and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins. Tap out the excess flour. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.
• In a double boiler, over simmering water, melt the butter with the chocolate. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the egg yolks, sugar and salt at high speed until thickened and pale.
• Whisk the chocolate until smooth. Quickly fold it into the egg mixture along with the flour. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 minutes, or until the sides of the cakes are firm but the centers are soft. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute, then cover each with an inverted dessert plate. Carefully turn each one over, let stand for 10 seconds and then unmold. Serve immediately.

MAKE AHEAD
The batter can be refrigerated for several hours; bring to room temperature before baking.

Health....
NEW Health Benefits of Eating Chocolate

Chocolate has all but been elevated to super food status. And the good news keeps rolling in.
So here are three more reasons why you may not want to be too quick to break that chocolate habit, as long as you're hitting the dark stuff.
• Chocolate makes you smarter. Ample research suggests that the flavonols in dark chocolate increase cerebral blood flow, which in turn may trigger the creation of new blood vessels and brain cells. And a new study showed that older adults performed better on cognitive tests after eating small portions of the sweet stuff. Talk about a nourished noggin!
• Chocolate weakens heart attacks. Although more research is needed to confirm this one, a new study showed that regular chocolate eaters who had heart disease were less likely to die following a heart attack compared with the people who didn't treat themselves to the dark and dreamy stuff. Chocolate has a cavity-fighting compound. Okay, so you don't necessarily want to trade in your toothbrush for a chocolate bar. But some interesting new research shows a compound in chocolate -- theobromine -- may be just as good as fluoride at hardening tooth enamel. So the compound could find its way into toothpastes and mouthwashes one day. Until then, keep in mind that most commercially prepared chocolate has lots of sugar in it.
• Don't Go Overboard
Despite chocolate's benefits, you don't want to o.d. on it lest you do your waist and blood sugar more harm than good.
