When I get really into a set of books, I can't put them down. I get sucked in, and I keep reading day or night until I'm finished. I did it with Twilight, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 50 Shades of Grey, and of course, The Hunger Games.
Since The Hunger Games movie is available On Demand starting today, I was excited to partner with On Demand Weekly once again to bring you an easy little appetizer.
If you've read the books, you know that food is a central theme. (It is the Hunger Games after all). I considered attempting the lamb stew with dried plums or even roasted rabbit or groosling soup. In the end, simplicity won out and I did my own spin on Prim's gift to Katniss on Reaping Day...goat cheese wrapped in basil leaves. Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor!
