Went home straight after work to a nice air conditioned room for a nap.
We invited a friend over for dinner tonight, so let's have a look at the menu.
Eliss got some wonderful soy sauce chicken from Chinatown.
This seafood soup was done upon special request. It contained fish, octopus, prawns, mushrooms, bean curd, tomatoes and wombok.
Oven baked octopus with white wine peri peri sauce.
We watched The Devil Wears Prada after that.
The movie was based on a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger about a young woman who, fresh from college, gets a job working as a personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor that turns increasingly hellish as she struggles to keep up with her boss's capricious and demeaning requests. The book was hugely successful, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list.
The novel was widely seen as a roman à clef about Vogue magazine and its iconic editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, since Weisberger worked there as an intern. Although she denies the story's editor is modeled on Wintour, many readers believed otherwise, which helped propel the book to the bestseller list.
I personally found the movie rather entertaining. I loved the parts when designer names like Karl Lagerfeld, Oscar de la Renta, Tommy Hilfiger and Donatella Versace rolled off their tongue so effortlessly.
