We went down the mountain today for lunch and to see the new Star Trek movie. It was truly a blast. Best mainstream movie to come out in months, so it was worth the trip.
Tonight it’s baked ham with a dijon mustard and brown sugar glaze, home fries parboiled and sauteed with scallions in olive oil, and red cabbage cole slaw I made last night.
Tomorrow we’re staying away from any suggestion of brunch (Happy Mothers’ Day!) and I’ll have preparation done for a cold lunch if I pick up a loaf of good bread. Dinner will be chicken fajitas.
My husband turned me on to certain sci-fi flicks. I saw the first Star Wars years after it debuted in theaters. The first Star Trek I saw on TV was a re-run. Stunted growth, I know. We trade movies. One sci-fi for one rom-com. No horror flicks and no Jane Austen. Ok, he did sit through Memoirs of a Geisha once with a girlfriend. But a friend of his made us see The Ring so that was payback, pure and simple. No, it wasn’t, I just wanted to see the film!
I started out with the Star Trek motto so will leave you with Star Wars: May the force be with you! Dee

Oh my – seeing the new ST was my Mother’s Day gift w/my darling son…
It was so awesome – I cried w/joy to see how well “young Spock” handled his role, but it was ALL good.
Imagine if I’d never met Jim. I would have been bereft of sci-fi forever! And he would have never gotten to see Emma or Memoirs of a Geisha! Dee
