Thanks for Throwing a Wrench in My Theory

OK, remember a few postings ago how I gave my theory of how the ending to Breaking Dawn would go?

[Recap: Alice would come at the last minute to save the day.]

Wellll.... Summit released some new TV spots this week that kind of ran it askew.  In the clip they showed some more bits of the fight.  Which look really cool, by the way.  But in one scene you see that the Volturi have Alice at one point.

Hmmm... So let me reformulate my theory.  Yes, there is such a word.

The battle will be in two parts: One- Alice's "pre-vision," before everyone starts planning to fight and get everyone together, where we get snippets of it.  Two- The rest of the battle, longer, which is happening "for real."

Food Find

Here is a recent food find....

I am in love with the new breadsticks that Walmart got in.  They are Barvarian Pretzel Breadsticks.

They are insanely good, especially brushed with melted butter, sprinkled with salt and heated in the oven.

Chewy on the outside, and soft on the inside.  I have a couple in the oven right now.

I was telling my coworker about them, and she mentioned trying them with garlic salt or something like that.  Or was it cinnamon sugar?  One of us must have mentioned the latter.  Now that I think about it, I'll definitely have to try the cinnamon option.

I hope Walmart never stops making these.  Or I'll just have to buy them all out. :-D

Ok, the more realistic option is to just find another company that makes them.

Carb and bread lovers, rejoice.

The Twilight Saga Archive

Less than one month to go! Woohoo!

So... over the weekend I finally broke down and ordered "The Twilight Saga Archive".  Its' complete title is: "The Twilight Saga Complete Archive."  But that's kind of wordy.  Anyway, it was delivered on the afternoon of the 16th.  I was kind of worried because I thought it wouldn't be that good, until some Twihards got it last week or so, and started posting scans of a few pages, which piqued my curiosity.

The book is actually pretty good.  It's actually kind of heavy.  There are tons of great pictures covering all the films (including BD2), and a lot of behind the scenes stuff.  Even what you might consider spoilers.  What I found really interesting, in particular, were the facsimile call sheets, i.e., daily schedules.  (I'd like to find out what the abbreviations stand for.)  I was pretty surprised that they let some BD2 script pages in there.

While I was looking through the book, I found one itty-bitty error.  I forgot what page it's on, but there's a small picture of Carlisle prepping some blood for Bella from BD1.  The caption says it's animal blood.  Obviously it's not.

OK, Summit, send me my check.  

Just kidding.

It has also come to be known that there will be some surprise scene after/during the credits.  Some of us thought it might be this dance-off/prank that the actors did for the director.  But Summit said it won't.  Here's my theory: It'll be a fast-forward to Jacob and Renesmee's wedding.

Someone else's theory: A repeat of the Cullens coming to a new school, (inc. Bella) and someone asking, "Who are they?" like the first movie.

Well... we'll have to wait for November 16th.

Cookie Dough and More

Several days ago, I wanted to try this idea I'd pinned on Pinterest.  It's edible cookie dough, and you can use it for ice cream and stuff.  Basically it has no eggs, so you can eat it "raw."  So I tried it.  It was really easy to make.  Milk holds it together.  It was good enough.  I thought it tasted good.  When Mom tried it, she said that it was missing something.

She finally just said, "Make it into cookies."

Cynics.

You'll like it if you just have a sweet tooth.  Or one of those people who likes raw cookie dough.  

I got some of the Twilight magazines that are coming out for part 2.  The People and US Weekly issues are good.  I'm waiting for the Twilight Saga Archive to come out.
