Beautiful Girls
It is one of my all time favorite movies!
I love the part where the bartender goes, "Apps, we got apps!"
Here are a few more memorable quotes:
Willie Conway: I look at you and I think it's amazing that there's a guy out there gets to do all kinds of things with you. He gets to make you happy and spend evenings with you...
Andera: ...make me martinis, listen to Van Morrison...
Willie Conway: ...smell your skin...
Andera: ...after a day at the beach.
Willie Conway: Yeah, and read the papers...
Andera: ...on a Sunday morning...
Willie Conway: ...a rainy Sunday morning, and pepper your belly with baby kisses... Sorry.
Andera: The thing is, there's a guy out there thinks the same thing about Tracy and he's jealous of you because you get to do all that with her.
Willie: Let me ask you something; can you think of anything better than making love to an attractive stranger... with just an oil light to guide your way? Can you think of anything better?
Andera: Going back to Chicago. Ice cold martini. Van Morrison.
Willie Conway: Sunday papers. Got ya.
If you have never seen this movie...
One of these chilly winter nights, go out and rent it.
This movie reminds me of winters in Connecticut. Here is a really simple and slightly old-fashioned appetizer recipe that my mom would make for holiday cocktail parties. Truthfully, people love it. It is not fancy, but maybe that is what works:
GRAPE JELLY MEATBALLS
2 12 oz jars Heinz chili sauce
1 32 oz jar grape jelly
1 bag meatballs (about 80 in a bag)
Put chili sauce and jelly in a large pot, heat until jelly is melted and sauce is smooth, stirring often. Add frozen meatballs; heat until meatballs are thawed and then simmer for 3 hours.
You can make this in a crock pot, make your own meatballs from scratch, or substitute for beanie weinies.
