I Can Relate to Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

2009-05-08T01:14:00.000-07:00

Ok...this is definitely out of the topic... definitely not related at all with food... but just feel to post this contest I found at Nuffnang here...

The Trailer...

Let's read....
The Synopsis

Celebrity photographer Connor Mead (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY) loves
freedom, fun and women…in that order. A committed bachelor with a no-strings policy,
he thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call while prepping
his next date.
Connor’s brother Paul is more the romantic type. In fact, he’s about to be married.
Unfortunately, on the eve of the big event, Connor’s mockery of romance proves a real
buzz-kill for Paul, the wedding party and a houseful of well wishers—including Connor’s
childhood friend Jenny (JENNIFER GARNER), the one woman in his life who has always
seemed immune to his considerable charm.
Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he gets a
wake-up call from the ghost of his late Uncle Wayne (MICHAEL DOUGLAS), the hardpartying,
legendary ladies man upon whose exploits Connor has modeled his lifestyle.
Uncle Wayne has an urgent message for his protégé, which he delivers through the ghosts
of Connor’s jilted girlfriends—past, present and future—who take him on a revealing and
hilarious odyssey through a lifetime of failed relationships.
Together, they will discover what turned Connor into such a shameless player and
whether he has a second chance to find – and this time, keep – the love of his life.

New Line Cinema presents a Jon Shestack/Panther Production of a Mark Waters

Girlfriends Past.” The film also stars Breckin Meyer, Lacey Chabert, Robert Forster, Anne

I have seen the trailer and I suggest you to watch the trailer as well... I have put the trailer in this entry...and I am soooo eager to watch this movie...

a combination of the hillarious Matthew McConaughey and the beautiful and funny Jennifer Garner would make the movie went perfectly... I can assure that!! and the plot were so amazing... a good movie that a guy musn't missed it...such a player need such guided from his x-gf's ghosts... learning from the dead will be fun, I guess...

this movie remind me to one person that I used to know way back at 2000 - 2001. Helmi is my very best friend years2 a go...before I became fed up with his Romeo Attitude that sometimes affected me...

Womanizer will be the perfect name for him... he love to flirt and exchange girls like he change his daily shirts and pants. He is a rich guy and have a very good and promising career. People who seen his lifestyle will get irritated with him as well as his sexy-bitch companion. well, one day he confess to this girl he's been dying to settled his bachelor life with...he loves her so much and been taking care of her all this time,but this girl who has been knowing him for ages and already annoyed with his attitude simply turn him down and go far-far away and the worst part is she end up marrying another guy, a guy that much2 better than Helmi, not from his material richness but good attitude richness.

Yeah...the girl is his best friend...a best friend who dont want to sacrifice her dignity to live with that kind of guy. I do personally thinks that he need his Ghost of Girlfriends to give him a bit of precious lessons as he still continues his bad habit until now...

oh... cut the story short... I want to watch this movie... Nuffnang, please give me the chance.... pleaseeeeeeee...........

Easy Chocolate Mousse

2009-04-15T23:09:00.001-07:00

This Easy Chocolate Mousse recipe has only 272 calories and 16g of fat per serving.
Using this recipe would allow you to indulge with a clear conscience as a regular chocolate mousse recipe has 340 calories and more than 30g of fat per serving.

Base:
130g Jacob's Sunlife Chocolate biscuits, coarsely crushed
30g melted margarine

Mousse:
200g dark chocolate
20g margarine
60 ml plain low fat yoghurt
1 egg white
20g sugar

Recipe serves 8

Combine crushed Jacob's Sunlife biscuits and melted butter in a small bowl and spoon into 6 small wine glasses or glass tumblers, pressing them lightly.

Locate a small heatproof bowl that will fit over the top of a small saucepan (creating a "double boiler"). Place chocolate and butter in the small bowl and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Remove bowl from heat and stir in yoghurt. Whisk egg white until soft peaks form and add sugar. Whisk for another 2 - 3 minutes until glossy.

Fold half the beaten egg white into chocolate mixture but avoid over-stirring. Fold in the remaining egg white and spoon into the crumb lined glasses.

Chill for 1 - 2 hours before serving.

Sprinkle cheese over the chicken mixture and grill for 2 minutes.

Facts: Nibble away as this recipe will give you only 135 calories and 5g of fat per serving, definitely a delicious guilt-free snack to curb those hunger pangs in between meals.

Other similar chicken melt recipes using bread and regular dairy have on average 300 over calories and 18g fat per serving.

Tuna, Broccoli and Macaroni Bake

2009-04-15T22:59:00.000-07:00

150g macaroni
1 small head broccoli (about 150g), separated into florets
1 tin (200g) tuna in water

Sauce:
40g margarine
40g plain flour
500 ml low fat milk
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp ground white or black pepper

Topping:
70g Jacob's Weetameal crackers, coarsely crushed
100g low fat Cheddar cheese (coarsely grated)
2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
½ cup red cherry tomatoes, halved

Recipe serves 6

Bring 2 litres of water to boil in a roomy big pan and add 1 tsp salt. Cook macaroni for 8 - 10 minutes or until just tender (not too soft). Remove macaroni with a slotted ladle and leave to drain in a colander.

Cook the broccoli in the remaining water for 2 - 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Melt butter in a medium sized pan over low heat and stir in flour. When a paste is formed, pour in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or balloon whisk until mixture comes to the boil and is smooth and thick. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Sauce should be smooth and the consistency of "condensed milk". If it looks too thick, stir in a little hot water.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked macaroni, broccoli and flaked tuna and pour into a shallow, heatproof dish.

Combine the crushed Jacob's Weetameal crackers, grated cheese and parsley together. Scatter this over the macaroni and top with the halved cherry tomatoes. Bake in a preheated oven (180 C) for 15 - 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and topping is golden brown. Serve hot.

Facts : This healthy twist to your regular macaroni and cheese has only 281 calories and 13g of fat per serving.
Definitely a healthier alternative to a regular recipe which has 330 calories and nearly 15g fat per serving.
