Once a month, a good friend and I get together to watch a 007 flick and enjoy some buttery, sea-salted, oil-popped popcorn (none of those air-popped Styrofoam-textured kernels for us!). We also consume brownies or cheesecake or organic chocolate, depending upon whether I’m in a baking mood and whether she’s been to town and our “local” health food store (a 90 mile round trip or thereabouts) which fortunately has a divine selection of organic chocolate bars.

Last night was popcorn & organic chocolate — this lavender, milk chocolate concoction unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Almost like eating melt-in-your-mouth perfume. Amazing.

The combo of chocolate and popcorn always makes for a fabulous supper. Granted, she eats dinner before she comes over, but I save my appetite for the good stuff, always making sure to take my wheatgrass and enzymes before savoring our popcorn-and-chocolate bonanza (my vitamin and dietary habits crack her up).

We’ve been watching the James Bond movies in order. We started with Dr. No last year and have worked our way up to The Spy Who Loved Me (which I’ll post a review of when I get around to it) .

We’ve only skipped one month to catch James Coburn in Our Man Flint.

So hip are we.

So do you and any of your girl friends (or guy friends) have any neat “date” nights or traditions? Do share!
