Movies & Munchies: Serendipity
Jonathan Trager, the iconic John Cusack of Say Anything boombox fame, and Sara Thomas, portrayed by the talented Kate Beckinsale, cross paths amidst the holiday hustle of Christmas shopping in a bustling NYC department store. As fate would have it, they both reach for the same pair of black cashmere gloves for their respective significant others, setting the stage for a serendipitous encounter. He allows Sara to buy the gloves and she thanks him by treating him to a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity, a charming and appropriately named café. They spend the rest of the evening together, chatting about the role of fate and how it shapes our journey in life.
Here’s my lightened-up rendition of their Frozen Hot Chocolate. Share it with a sweetie or savor it all by yourself…it’s well worth the brain freeze!
