Movie Menus: "When Harry Met Sally"

By: Mackenzie Schieck

Settle in for an evening with the movie that begged the question: can men and women really be friends?

Favorite Quotes

Sally: Well, if you must know, it was because he was very jealous, and I had these days of the week underpants.
Harry:Ehhhh. I'm sorry. I need the judges ruling on this. "Days of the weeks underpants"?
Sally: Yes. They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, "You never wear Sunday." It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn't believe me.
Harry: What?
Sally: They don't make Sunday.
Harry: Why not?
Sally: Because of God.

Marie: Someone is staring at you in "personal growth."

Marie: I don't think he's ever going to leave her.
Sally:No one thinks he's never going to leave her.
Marie: You're right, you're right. I know you're right.

Harry: The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe you're either a) not at home, b) home but don't want to talk to me, or c) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it's either a) or c), please call me back.

We've pulled together some recipes to enjoy with this classic comedy--plus a few dishes that will work nicely--a la Sally's preference--"on the side."

Shh, the Movie's Starting!

Having recently ended a long-term relationship, Sally runs into Harry 10 years after they first met when they drove together from Chicago to New York. Harry is also coming to the end of a relationship--a marriage of approximately five years to be precise. They compare breakup notes over lunch and start to become--gulp--friends. Who knows? Maybe they will be the exception to Harry's rule. Well, they're going to give it a shot at least, as Harry deems Sally the first attractive woman he's known who he hasn't wanted to sleep with. "That’s wonderful, Harry," Sally says in congratulations. Will this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship? Could be.
