I am passionate romantic. So you have to spoil me for a moment.
One of my all-time favorite movies is Megan Follows’ version of Anne of Green Gables and its sequel. Would it be so dramatic to say that these movies helped shape my character while I was growing up? Yes, that’s very exciting. But in some small but meaningful way I think they did.
While I was making this chicken salad, a line from the movie popped into my mind. (This is what happens when you have a full movie dialogue.) Diana and Anne stand on the scenic slope of Prince Edward Island overlooking the ocean, wind blowing their hair, and gazing at the sunset.
“I desire I was rich & spent whole summer in a Hòtel ,” Diana says to Anne, “eating ice cream and chicken salad.”
Anne responds thoughtfully, “Do you know something, Diana? We are rich. We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have fantastic imaginations. We should be happy like queens.”
You can’t enjoy her beauty any more if you have ropes of diamonds …. I’m happy Diana, and nothing will hold me back.”
