Netflix strikes again.
OMG. We watched Bird Box last Saturday night and I must say it was intense. But I don’t even think intense is the right word. The movie grabs you by the jugular, holds on and doesn’t let go until the very end.
I will say Sandra Bullock is on point in the movie. And I’m still questioning John Malkovich’s random appearance but if you like suspense mixed with a little horror/sci-fi this movie is for you.
Besides giving me crazy dreams this movie also had me wanting to prepare for the end of the world. I feel like we need to have a stock pile of survival goods on hand in case something does go wrong. Does La Croix count as an essential Item?
If you do end up watching this movie I highly recommend having something to nibble on to keep you slightly distracted. This Roasted Cauliflower Carbonara will do the trick. Roasted cauliflower tossed with a killer carbonara sauce and then poured over udon noodles. OMG.
You can certainly use whatever noodles you have on hand, but I am having a moment with udon noodles. Udon noodle is a thick wheat noodle used commonly in Japan. They are easy to find at your local grocery store just look for the international aisle and more than likely they are nestled next to the pad Thai noodles.
So are you are ready to Netflix and chill? If yes, you might need a bucket of this Roasted Cauliflower in front of your face.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

And yeah, John Malkovich is around for like, 7 minutes. He’s always good, but. . . We watched Bird Box, and it did give ‘scare’ me and make me worry about the world. I did turn to hubby about half way through and go, “Hey, did the blind people have any problem with this?” But I seriously did NOT know how it was going to end, I HAD to keep watching until the end.
