It's Complicated
I just read the NYT review of It's Complicated. Under viewer reviews, comment after comment on the food porn. Of course, the movie targets people of a certain age (over 40). I suspect I would not have been reading comments on the movie images of food were I reading about New Moon. Right before checking out the review, I read IamBossy - also food porn. My last conversation with the sister closest to me in age? Food porn - followed by an email with the recipe. Same also for recent facebook posts.
You may wonder where I'm going with this. Tonight, for Christmas dinner: (all ingredients organic, of course) angel hair with olive oil, salt, pepper, bit of pesto, cremini and maitake mushrooms, heirloom and cherry tomatoes, broccoli, collard greens (don't ask, cleaning out the fridge), red onions, garlic along with toasted crusty bread slices dipped in pesto (basil, raw pumpkin seeds, raw walnuts, olive oil, salt pepper, raw garlic, bit of water).
After licking his plate, my husband rhapsodized about my talents in considerably greater detail and feeling than he had following his former favorite treat (which used to be in the bedroom) two nights ago. I’ve just realized – we are now middle age. I never thought it would happen to us.

Food porn alert: I have now perfected the recipe for veggie fried rice. It is sooooooo GOOD. You will never order takeout again.
Food porn: Tonight I made sun-dried tomato and kalamata olive quiche with a loaf of crusty sesame & dill wheat bread. Lightly toasted and buttered, of course. It was delicious.
Wow! The quiche and bread does sound like my kind of turn on! Yum! Recipe?
