Charlotte's topic dreams come true with this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast! She and Laura review the first season of HBO's True Blood and the novel upon which is was based, Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. The chat about Sookie Stackhouse and the huge cast of characters, the world-building of Charlaine Harris, and compare the TV show to its source material. Charlotte shares which vampire is the best looking and calls out inconsistencies with Bill Compton's tv/book descriptions. Laura champions the show's ability to expand from the source material , and reveals which character she is most curious about. Together the girls discuss Sookie's telepathy, support Jason's promiscuity, and have a very heated debate about Sam Merlotte's actions. Does Sookie's naivity and stubborness cause her to confront danger in an irresponsible way? Is Bill an innocent vampire who just wants to feel human again? And is Lafayette Reynolds the secret, sassy star of this entire show? All this, plus fun facts, are discussed in this week's new episode of The Lettuce Podcast!
After a long discussion, the girls find time for one game in the Fun & Games segment: 1, 2, 3.. S/He's Yours! Play along and share your choice in the comments of this post!
Looking for something bloody to sip on while you listen to this episode? Laura concocted her own version of True Blood! This one takes a little prep work, but is worth the effort. Muddle 1-2 macerated strawberries (coat the strawberries in sugar and let them sit until the juices flow) with a mortar and pestle. Place in the bottom of a rocks glass. Add 1 oz. white whiskey, 2oz. red wine, and a splash of grenadine. Fill with seltzer. This drink is mildly fruity, has a little texture, and is very satisfying to look at. Enjoy!
