Movie Madness #2: Annie Hall and lobsters
This is the quintessential pairing and many thanks goes to my wonderful husband, AB, for the suggestion. Although I’ve mentioned my love of Annie Hall many times (see here and here), I think it’s only fair to provide a fabulous dinner to pair with this classic movie.
Annie Hall and Lobsters: For those of you who haven’t seen this movie yet, I encourage you to watch it at least once for the intellectual neuroticism and glory that is Woody Allen (okay, and he’s narcissistic too). The lobster scene is hilarious.
Menu:
White wine of your choice
Herb Salad
Ingredients:
1 head of butter lettuce
2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
Stuffed Lobsters with Shrimp and Bread Crumbs (see these recipes for inspiration) or check out this fancy recipe from Emeril Lagasse. I promise to post my own recipe (once I have enough money to indulge in such lobster dishes). The recipes I’ve included links too represent some great, simple recipes for stuffed lobster. Nervous breakdown not included!
Roasted Carrots
Ingredients:
3-4 large carrots
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chop carrots, on the diagonal, into 3/4 inch pieces. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about twenty minutes then check the carrots and turn them over. Keep roasting until the carrots are slightly brown and crisp on the outside.
Chocolate Cupcakes with Cherries and White Buttercream Frosting (this recipe is fabulous and easy to make so I will post it a bit later today…use yellow box mix, good cherry jam and a frosting with powdered sugar, milk and butter).
Enjoy!
