The Wish List

The book proceeds at a frantic pace, detailing the trials and tribulations of pals Lucy, Meg, Chloe and Tom. Main character Lucy is a sassy, witty, struggling actress with a weakness for shagging Tom. This would all be very well if Tom was more committed to Lucy, but Tom is a cynical kinda guy, and finds it hilarious to buy Lucy appalling flowers. Meg is a confident corporate lawyer, known for her no-nonsense attitude and cutting comments. She’s the original loner, and is quite sure that she doesn’t need a man in her life. Sweet Chloe is having trouble exercising her authority at work. She helpfully decides to sign the whole gang up for a team-building weekend, on a camping trip with new age guru Hank and a few random campers. This leads to side-splitting interactions with some of Australia’s top weirdoes around the campfire. There’s another hilarious scene in the book when the girls crash Tom and his “man’s night out”. Tom gets all prissy and uptight, while the girls get rowdy and start drinking the boys under the table. There is a lot of (understandable) lust for fellow Australian Hugh Jackman throughout the book. Lucy laments to Tom that Deborah Lee Furness is the owner of the meaning of life. This is because Deborah is married to Hugh Jackman, and he IS the meaning of life as far as Lucy (and La’Brooy) are concerned. La’Brooy’s style of writing is incredibly easy to read. She’s obviously got a wicked sense of humour, and has a fantastic turn of phrase. I particularly liked the bantering between characters in The Wish List. I loved Lucy’s reaction when she finds out Meg and Chloe have been placing bets on her sex life with on again/off again Tom. Lucy snaps, “Stop talking about me like I’m a greyhound”, to which Meg replies; “Lucy can’t be a racehorse. Tom will be riding her and he’s too tall to be a jockey”. Comments like these make the book a memorable read. The main character, Lucy, was great. Despite viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses, she does go through a transformation of sorts towards the end of the book. She has a neat perspective on life, even though she has a morbid fear of curtains. Overall, The Wish List is a guaranteed smile fest.

Indonesisches Chop Suey (Cap-Cay)

Description:
Chop Suey ist ein aus China stammendes Gericht, das in Indonesien inzwischen große Beliebtheit erlangt hat. Es besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Mischung von verschiedenen Gemüsesorten, die man, je nach Saisonangebot, beliebig abwandeln kann. Man kann das Gericht ohne Fleischzugabe zubereiten oder Fleischstreifen oder Hackfleisch nach Geschmack beigeben.

Ingredients:
6 chinesische schwarze Morcheln
1 Stange Lauch
2 Stangen Bleichsellerie
3 Mohrrüben
1 Zucchini
1 grüne Paprikaschote
100 g Sojabohnenkeime
100 g Champignons
100 g Bambussprossen ( aus der Dose)
2 Knoblauchzehen
1 Zwiebel
4 EL Öl
3 EL helle chines. Sojasauce
Pfeffer und Salz nach Geschmack
½ TL Glutamat
125 ml Rindsbouillon
1-2 EL Maisstärke

Directions:
Morcheln in heißem Wasser etwa 15 Min. lang einweichen, waschen, die zähen Teile entfernen und kleinschneiden. Lauch waschen, putzen, der Länge nach halbieren und schräg in etwa 1 cm breite Streifen schneiden. Selleriestangen samt Blattgrün waschen, schräg in Stücke schneiden. Möhren waschen, putzen, schälen, der Länge nach halbieren, schräg in feine Scheiben schneiden. Zucchini waschen, putzen und nach Art der Möhren zerkleinern, jedoch sollten die Scheiben etwa ½ cm dick geschnitten werden. Paprikaschote waschen, vierteln, Rippen und Kerne entfernen, in feine Streifen schneiden. Sojabohnenkeime waschen und, ebenso wie die Bambussprossen, über einem Sieb abtropfen lassen. Champignons waschen, achteln. Knoblauch und Zwiebel schälen. Öl im Wok oder einer Pfanne erhitzen, Knoblauch und Zwiebel hinein geben und glasig dünsten, dann Möhren, Bleichsellerie und Paprikaschote hinein geben und bei guter Hitze unter ständigem Rühren 2 Min. braten. Lauch, Zucchini, Champignons und Morcheln hinzufügen und weitere 4 Min. pfannenrühren, bis zum Schluss Sojabohnenkeime und Bambussprossen dazugegeben werden.

Maisstärke mit Rindsbouillon (kalt) verrühren, zum Gemüse geben, einmal aufkochen lassen, alles noch 2 Min. dünsten lassen, abschmecken und ggf. nachwürzen. Das Gericht in eine vorgewärmte Schüssel füllen und nach Belieben mit feinen Omelettstreifen garniert servieren.

Mr. Brooks - Der Mörder in Dir

Earl Brooks verkörpert alles, was einen perfekten Mann ausmacht: Er ist ein treusorgender Familienvater, hingebungsvoller Ehemann und ein äußerst erfolgreicher Geschäftsmann. Doch hinter dieser Vorzeige-Fassade lauert ein dunkles Geheimnis. Getrieben von seinem Alter Ego Marshall zieht Brooks in der Nacht los, um zu morden.

Brutal, clever und unbeobachtet begeht Brooks seine grauenvollen Taten. Bis jetzt - denn seine letzte Tat hat einen Zeugen: Und dem Hobbyfotograf Smith gefällt, was er gesehen hat. Statt Brooks anzuzeigen, fordert Smith, ihn auf seiner nächtlichen Mord-Tour begleiten zu dürfen.

Immer mehr verstrickt sich Brooks in den dunklen Fantasien seines ungebetenen Komplizen, der ihm nicht mehr von der Seite weicht. Und auch die attraktive Ermittlerin Tracy Atwood hat sich längst an seine Fersen geheftet. Zuhause scheinen Brooks Frau und Tochter nichts von alledem zu ahnen - doch wie lange wird er sein Doppelleben noch geheim halten können?

Der Nebel

Ein mysteriöser Nebel, der die gesamte Landschaft einhüllt, zwingt die Bewohner einer amerikanischen Kleinstadt, sich in ihrem Supermarkt zu verschanzen. Doch die Mauern können den Schutzsuchenden nur scheinbar Sicherheit bieten. Die Ungewissheit, welche Gefahr in den weißen Schleiern auf sie wartet, zerrt an den Nerven der Zwangsgemeinschaft, schürt Angst und Verzweiflung. Panik macht sich breit, schon bald droht die Grenze zwischen äußerer und innerer Bedrohung zu verschwimmen. Im Angesicht des Todes ist sich jeder selbst der nächste und jeder Nächste wird zum erbitterten Feind.

27 Dresses

Always a bridesmaid but never a bride, Jane has seen her fair share of weddings. There have been 27 of them, to be exact, and she’s kept the bridesmaid dresses in case you don't believe her. An idealist and romantic to her core, the young woman firmly believes she will get her day in white. Until then, however, she might as well do whatever she can to make saying, “I do,” as ecstatically wonderful for others as is humanly possible.

This changes the day her sexy and selfish little sister Tess starts making come-hither glances to Jane’s boss George, a dashingly successful entrepreneur whom she secretly loves. The twosome quickly and suddenly engaged, big sis isn’t none to happy about this, especially when her favorite wedding reporter named Kevin wants to write a story on the happy couple.

Or does he? Unbeknownst to her, the cynical (if brilliant) writer could care less about the coming nuptials. He’s more interested in the perennial bridesmaid, hoping to craft a story on her that could be his ticket out the bridal beat and instead fast-track him to some more high profile gigs in other sections of the paper.

With neither person trusting the other, the duo hardly notices the effect they’re having upon one another, love circling them like an arrow shot from Cupid’s bow. Problem is, Jane and Kevin are too consumed by their own desires and ambitions to see it, and if one or the other of them doesn’t act quickly the thing both are looking for might just vanish before they even recognize it’s right in front of their eyes.

April Snow

During a highly unusual snowstorm in late spring, a car accident leaves a local man dead, and a man and woman from Seoul beat up badly and in comas. In Su works as a lighting co-ordinator for pop concerts, and has to leave right in the middle of setting up a large concert due to a phone call from his wife being injured small coastal town. When he gets there, he meets Seo Young, a woman attending to her comatose husband. For both of them, the abrupt situation is both tragic, and also very awkward. Their spouses were in the car togther, driving drunk to a location neither knows. This is never clearer than when they have to sift though a bag of possessions recovered from the car. Which one of their spouses owned the condom? On the cellular phones and digital camera, In Su and Seo Young find intimate phone messages and an explicit video of their worst fears, their spouses lounging in bed in a state of casual and intimate humour.

Both In Su and Seo Young are put through the emotional wringer over the weeks of waiting for their partners either to wake up, or pass away At times both wish for either of these two ends for their silent partners. In a particularly awkward scene, at the request of one of their insurance adjusters, they attend the funeral of the local man who was killed in the accident. The mother, deeply mired in grief, as the accident was the result of drunk driving, at first thinks the couple are friends of her son. When they awkwardly explain their relationship to the deceased, the mother sends them away and the family members threaten violence. That particular form of guilt (how are In Su and Seo Young at fault here?) is convincingly examined though a distanced and unusual relationship, which starts with unanswerable, questions and ends with love.
