Guess What Movie!

So, I was going to do this fun post where you write 25 movie lines and your friends have to guess what movie its from. But #1: I'm too predictable, and #2: this quote reminded me just how much I really do think I should have lived back in the 1800's, or even the early 1900's.

From M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village"

Ivy Walker: "When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?"

Lucius Hunt: "Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night."



I don't know why... I just think this is one of the most romantic moments in a movie EVER. Call me sappy.

Fire Cracker Salmon
8 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
1/2 cup peanut oil or veg oil is fine
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons green onions, chopped
3 teaspoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

The longer you marinade the better in my opinion.
DIRECTIONS
Place salmon filets in a medium, nonporous glass dish. In a separate medium bowl, combine the peanut oil, soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame oil and salt. Whisk together well, and pour over the fish. Cover and marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
Prepare an outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from the grate, and lightly oil the grate.
Grill the fillets 5 inches from coals for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part, or until fish just flakes with a fork. Turn over halfway through cooking.
