Here is some BIG news from the fab: www.breakingdawnmovie.org!

1) Mackenzie Foy may be playing the infamous role of Edward and Bella's daughter Nessie! She is quite unknown, but was in an episode of FLASHFORWARD a TV show on ABC. The director Bill Condon will probably digitally transfer the face onto a smaller and younger child! She is very cute and I think would be a decent Nessie!2) Maggie Grace is cast as Irina! Of course, we all know her as 'Shannon' on the hit TV show 'Lost.' As we all know, Irina lives with her sisters in The Denali Coven (the only other vegetarian coven). *BREAKING DAWN SPOILER ALERT*

She is also the one who accused the Cullens for creating an 'immortal child' and causing a string of events that leads to her death by Felix. Well this is exciting cast news! I'll try to keep you guys posted on the latest BD news as it begins to trickle in!

Take a look at this Bed And Breakfast in Forks, WA. Even though I've never been there, it would be my top pick. Not only that it is the official home of the Cullens!

This quaint 1916 farmhouse is the spitting image of the Cullen's home in the books! Even though the river isn't behind it (like in the book) it still gives out the quaint old fashioned feel of the Cullen's home. It has 8 rooms, 2 with fireplaces and the suites allow children and pets! Breakfast is also included. Of course you are close to all the Twilight hot spots and the innkeepers speak Twilight!

My Life Is Twilight: Confessions

Some crazy Twi-hard confessions from http://www.mylifeistwilight.com

Today my boyfriend touched my face, and for the fisrt time i didn't flinch at how cold his hands were. He looked at me and said............"your pretending i'm Edward aren't you?" I blushed as we both knew it was true. I can offically say MLIT!!!!

Was I the only one who ever wondered what it must have been like for Edward during Bella's 'time of the month'. Maybe I'm reading into this story a little too much... MLIT. LOL :-D

Today, I sat down in this cute bar and just as I was about to leave a guy who looked excactly like Jasper walked in. Just to be funny I walked up to him and we reanacted the 'Alice-Jasper' meeting scene in Eclipse. My name is Alice, and his name is Jasper. We're going out on Friday. MLIT

Today, I was half naked and getting dressed when my Edward cutout (which I bought on one of my frequent trips to Forks) fell on top of me. Instead of pushing it off, I exclaimed, "Oh Edward! Not this early!" Then my mother walked in and took him out of my room saying, "its for my own good." MLIT

In the ninth grade biology class I teach, there is a boy named Ed and a girl named Bella. I have paired them up for every lab assignment we have had so far in this year in hopes that they will get together. I even asked my supervisors permission to hold a blood testing day. MLIT

Today, my boyfriend told me he loved me and I smiled but didn't reply. He waited a few seconds before saying "Say it." I just smiled. Then he said "Outloud." I smiled a bit more and whispered "Vampire.". I'm not going to lie, it caused an argument. MLIT.

Lol, hilarious these people know how to live!

Today I saw a xc90 silver Volvo parked in the student parking lot. Lets just say I got really excited to go to Biology! MLIT too!

Bella's Top Read!

Here is Bella's top favorite read; along with a book review and quote from the book, and were you can purchase it.

#1: Romeo & Juliet

This infamous Shakespeare play about two star-crossed lovers is Bell's number one read. Why? Because in many ways her relationship with Edward is like Romeo & Juliet's. The two couples are star-crossed lovers indeed.

" These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die like fire and powder. Which as they kiss, consume." -Romeo & Juliet

`Romeo and Juliet` is probably the best known piece of literature in the world. Countless movies and books have been based on it, and the theme is classic: two star-crossed lovers from different backgrounds meeting and falling in love.

Cooking With Bella

Here is a recipe for Bella's mushroom ravioli which she had on her first date with Edward Cullen! Enjoy! This recipe is a low-fat twist on a classic ravioli dish. Using wontons instead of regular dough helps to save the calories and the mess in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Prep Time: 30-40 minutes

Cook Time: 3-5 minutes

Ingredients

Ravioli:

1 tbsp reduced fat butter (I can’t believe its not butter)

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp finely chopped shallots

1 tsp garlic (2 cloves)

1 cup finely chopped portabello mushrooms

1/2 cup finely chopped button mushrooms

1 cup skim or reduced calorie ricotta cheese

1/4 cup reduced calorie parmesan cheese

30 wonton wrappers (about half the regular package)

Sauce:

6 cups traditional tomato sauce

1/2 tsp garlic (1 clove)

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp basil

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Instructions

- Add 1 tbsp each butter and olive oil to skillet. Heat over a medium-high heat (about 2 minutes) until melted.

- Add 1 tbsp finely chopped shallots and 1 tsp garlic to the skillet and saute.

- While shallots and garlic saute, in a food processor, finely chop 1 cup portabella mushrooms and 1/2 cup white button mushroom and then add to skillet. Cook around 5 mins to allow the moisture from the mushrooms to escape.

- In a separate bowl, combine ricotta and parmesan cheese and blend thoroughly until smooth.

- Once mushrooms are cooked, add to the ricotta and parmesan cheese mixture. Once mixed, you are ready to begin stuffing your wonton wrappers.

- Before you begin creating the raviolis, you will want to start your sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp garlic. Saute for 2 minutes. Next add in 2 cups tomato suace, 1 tsp italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp basil, and salt and pepper as desired. Cook over a low-medium heat.

- Once you sauce is going, you are ready to stuff the wonton wrappers. First add about 2 tbsp flour to a large baking sheet (any large plate will do as well) that will be used to stuff and wrap the wontons. Make sure that there is a thin layer of flour covering the sheet in order to keep wrappers from sticking. (Note: do not pile wontons on top of each other after wrapping. They will stick together, causing them to tear)

- Once your sheet is covered with a thin layer of flour, you can begin filling your wrappers. Filling a wrapper at a time, wet each edge of the wrapper. This will allow you to seal the edges once full. Now take a tsp of the mushroom filling and place in center of wrapper. With the edges of the wrapper wet, fold one corner of the wrapper to the adjacent corner, forming a triangle. Press edges to seal. Now fold in the remaining corners towards the center of the wonton, creating an envelope. See the example to the right. Place the wrapper on your sheet and repeat this process for remaining wrappers. (Note: to keep other wrappers moist while wrapping, lay a damp paper towel over unused wonton wrappers.)

- Once your wontons are ready, you are ready to cook your raviolis. In a large pan, bring 6 cups water to a low boil. Add salt for extra flavor. Once water is boiling add ravioli to pan, being careful to not stack them on top of each other (if needed you can cook two batches since they cook quickly). Stacking on top of each other could cause them to stick to each other and then tear. Boil 3-5 minutes, until wrappers are soft.

- Once your raviolis are cooked, cover with sauce and you are ready to enjoy!

*Note: There may be extra sauce dependent upon your desired amount. If so, just save it and use it for ravioli the next night!
