Wednesday, August 6, 2008 we watched Beverly Hills Cop (1984) and made Shrimp Salad Sandwiches. Yummo!
Beverly Hills cop stars Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley in what has to be his best role ever. As a detroit cop trying to solve his friends murder in Beverly Hills he gets some help from detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), and his partner, Sergeant Taggart (John Ashton), and of course Serge (Bronson Pinchot!) Possibly the best 80's soundtrack with the Pointer Sisters, the Axel F theme, and Eddie's laugh. Rating: 4.25 stars
For dinner we put our own spin on Martha Stewart's Shrimp Salad Pita recipe (can be found on marthastewart.com). Though we realized we should have used pitas or hoagie rolls instead of white bread so that all of our yummy shrimps didn't come slipping out the other side. We also would have added more salt or a salty ingredient like olives. Rating: 4 stars
p.s we made Banana S'mores (a barb brainstorm). Just your average s'more with banana slices! It got mixed reviews...
