THE PULSE Friday.September2A.WK 8 AMANDA MCGUIM MICNEK What to serve Lindsay Lohan While celebrities going to jail has become an increasingly popular trend in Hollywood, 1 don't feel any sympathy for the stars forced to wear orange jumpsuits and con- sume horrible jail food. That is until Lindsay Lohan went to jail this past July. I'orsomereasonljndshasalways found a spot in my heart. Most like ly because she played Cady Heron, smart-girl-gone-crazy-rctums-to- smart-girl, in "Mean Girls." I relate to Cady. 1 understand being geeky and wanting to fit in. But more than being the lead in one of my favorite teen movies, Linds is a talented actress. "Freaky Friday," adapted from the great young adult novel, was another smart role she chose. And any actress who appears in "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Bobby" has to be aware of the world around her and understand the greater impact of movies such as these. So when I'm bored, waiting in line at the Downtown Farmers Market or on a bench in I layes Hall between classes. I like to imagine cooking meals for various influ- ential, famous or infamous people. In light of her release from jail and rehab last month, I've been com- posing a dinner menu for Linds: ratatouille with polenta and a fresh salad with local greens. Linds is in need of a simple, com- forting dish. After all the gross jail and rehab food, she needs a home- made meal jam-packed with nour- ishment from tomatoes, eggplants, squash, onions and herbs. Because vegetables are the stars in this lay- ered casserole, Linds will get some much-needed vitamins. Because Linds is familiar with the Disney catalog, I assume she's seen the movie "Ratatouille" and understands the ingredients of the dish and the symbolism of rustic food makinga comeback. Though I'm a fan of Julia Child's ratatouille recipe, I would make Linds the Alice Water's one. It is just a bit less complex and more flavorful with the addition of sweet bell peppers. I would use Michael Symon's polenta recipe and whisk See FOOD | Page 9 IU.USTBATI0N KARI SCHNEIDER ALBUM "A THOUSAND SUNS Highly anticipated 'Halo: Reach' delivers ■ Artist Name | Unkin Park REVIEWS ■ Grade B BvRolfRitchia Guest Pulse Reporter "Everyone dies, WHAT ZACH GASE THINKS: Ten years ago.
