Ah Valentine's Day, a day that Hallmark invented to make you feel crummy if you don't have a special somebody to go out with for a fancy dinner out on the town. The whole idea of Valentine's Day really gets you to start thinking about your relationship status along with the all the ups and downs of the world that dating can bring. If you need a new perspective on this dating thing and don't have access to hit the town with that perfect cloned mute model that always agrees with you ...which BTW that may technically qualify you as creepy, but to each is own... than you'll like this weeks flick!
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Why find a date when you can create one?
This flick is an underrated film from 1994 that features a young Robert De Niro as "the Creature" and an even younger Helena Bonham Carter as "Elizabeth". I'm not going to give away any of the details as I'm sure you've probably already heard the story by now. This film will liven your spirits to inspire you to not only believe those internet dating sites that claim that there is a perfect match for you that isn't a psycho serial killer, but may also creepily inspire to create the perfect match for you if you get tired of all of the waiting around.
I've also added a little something to go along with the movie
Now when you're sitting on the couch eating those strange chocolates that come in heart shaped boxes that nobody can figure out what in the hell they are until you take a bite out of each of them. I then encourage you to try a "Scientist Swizzle" to wash down all that concrete paste used as filling inside those chocolates and to go buy yourself something else sweet and satisfying to complement your beverage!
Scientist Swizzle- a bubbly concoction with exact measurements that will help entice you to tap into your inner mad scientist self
Ingredients:
1- bottle of your favorite champagne
1-bottle of pomegranate juice (I used Pom)
1- bottle of pear juice (I used R. W. Knudsen)
pomegranate seeds for garnish
First fill your champagne flukes 3 quarters of the way full with champagne. Then pour the pear juice in the fluke until it is just shy of filling the last quarter of the way full. Next add a quick splash of the pomegranate juice over the top just to add color so you don't make it too bitter. Just in case you were wondering I was joking about that the exact measuring part, and if you are anything like me and you like your cocktails the same way you like your men "dry and bitter" then you'll want to use more pomegranate and less pear juice, but if you have a sweet tooth like a 5 year old then you'll want more pear and less pomegranate. BTW this drink will make a great mocktail as well without the champagne if aren't much of a boozer. Lastly add a couple of those seeds in the glass and enjoy!
There you go....
Your little spread ought to look a little similar to this when you are ready to indulge with this flick!
From yours truly- Sweet treats and remember sweet dreams!
