Last December I strongly hinted to Mr BC that I would like this cookbook for Christmas. I took him to the mall, grabbed his arm, dragged him into the book store and picked up the book. I need this book for Christmas, OK? Please?
I had never watched the True Blood series, but this cookbook was right up my ally. Louisiana? Vampires? Food? Recipes that have a place on the silver screen and an anecdote to go with them? Check, check and check. It must be mine!

On Christmas morning I opened what I thought was an odd looking parcel for a cookbook. It was the DVD box set of the first 4 seasons of True Blood. I was a bit miffed, and put it aside for a few weeks.
I didn't watch the series when it was first on TV because although I love vampires, I am an Anne Rice snob, and I was sure it was going to suck and not in a good way. But a few weeks later I got bored and started watching, and I was hooked. I watched the entire 4 series, 48 hours of TV in less than 2 weeks! Now I am watching it again, but slowly, to pick up every detail I missed when I inhaled it. Every night I wait for the kids to go to sleep, then I sit in my darkened living room and devour True Blood. It's my guilty pleasure.
Do you want to know why? It's not just the cheesily entertaining bizarre plot twists, the snappy dialogue, the cool swamp jazz music or even the R rated sex scenes (well, maybe a little bit). It's for this.

Hello Bill Compton! Bill is the true love of the series heroine, Sooky Stackhouse, played by his real life wife, Anna Paquin (yes, the girl from the Piano). He has been a vampire since the civil war, and is a bit of an old school gentleman, most of the time.

What a hottie! This is Alcide Herveaux. He is a bit hairy, but then he is a werewolf.

Deliciously evil Eric Northman, a 1000 year old viking.
He has a very dry sense of humour, and has a big crush on Sooky.
When Mr BC found out how much I loved True Blood, he ordered the cookbook online.
Now I wish he had ordered seasons 5 and 6!
What TV series are you addicted to?

The Walking Dead. I'm waiting patiently for it to start back up next week. Rachel x
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll give it a go. Want to borrow my True Blood series?
Deletexx
I looooove True Blood. Eric is amazing
ReplyDeleteEric is just to die for! I heard a rumour he is going to play the lead in the Fifty Shades movie. I'm not into the books but I will certainly watch the movie if he is in it!
Deletexx
I'm hooked on American Horror Story, fabulously weird!
ReplyDeleteI loved the first series but I haven't started watching the second series. It looks just as fabulous though!

The cookbook sounds awesome. I love True Blood but only get to watch it when I am the only one about. I am loving watching Arrow at the moment too.
ReplyDeleteWise move, it's not R rated for nothing! I will have to check out Arrow.

Nice to look at like a menu !
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up -HAWT in the kitchen with these guys!
Trish you crack me up! Imagine these guys on a menu, how would you choose?

I love The Walking Dead. It's like a drug to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's off season for True Blood but just reading your enthusiasm is making me excited for it to start again. I am definitley team Eric. I've read some of the books and they sort of turned me into an Eric fan.
I keep hearing about The Walking Dead. Zombies are not my genre so I've been resisting, but I think I am going to have to get out of my comfort zone and give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI'm Team Eric too. No question!

OMG I started watching the first season but then missed it and got all out of whack and just gave up BUT the episodes that I DID see I LOVED!! Such a sexy show and the theme song for the opening credits is one of my favourites! Plus, the imagery they use for the opening credits is just so bizarre and disturbing and completely compelling! I need to watch again from the very beginning and catch up. Can I borrow your box set when you're done? Haha
ReplyDeleteYes you can! I love the opening sequence too - it's funny you mention the song, I think of you every time I hear it! It's very Sheri!

Im looking for the roasted chickpea recipe. LOL talk about addictive. Someone loaned me the first season. I to inhaled season 1-5 sweating on season 6. LOVE IT....
ReplyDeletefor all the reasons you mentioned. :)
It was just chickpeas, olive oil and sea salt, slow roasted until crispy. With maybe some rosemary if you like...they are super addictive so thanks for the reminder, I will make some more.
DeleteI haven't seen season 4 yet, and I just cannot wait! Hubs tells me it's unavailable in Australia but I do not believe him. I will track it down.
