Inspiring Movie .. a New Task is Born !

For Foodies & Food Lovers .. This is the movie to watch ! It's combines two stories of two women and their journey in finding themselves through food and recipes. Julie & Julia (2009)
The movie talks about a young woman who's frustrated with her government job, her & her husband's living arrangement in Queens and her purpose in life. She takes on a task of cooking 524 recipes of her idle's book; Julia Child's Mastering the art of French Cooking. She starts blogging about each recipe and the struggles, the accomplishments and all the emotional challenges she faces. The movie also takes us into Julia Child's journey in the making of the book and her career as a legendary chef.
This inspired me to do the same. I have many chefs that I'm inspired by and would love to try all their recipes. Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Todd English, to name a few.
I would love to start out trying to cook almost everything in Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking & the Art of Comfort Cooking.. I already have tried so many recipes from it and why not go for the whole thing from cover to cover?!

So there, another task to add and another challenge to tackle. I'm contemplating the timing and the deadline.
This is a fun idea to take on, I'm still processing it.. so this is pending until I post the start & due date.

Pending until further notice....

My new Addiction.. BBT!

I have so many addictions and more obsession...
This is my most recent addiction..
This show has geek written all over it, but honestly with their 3rd season now, this might be the funniest sitcom I have ever seen!
The Big Bang Theory really works for me.. maybe I'm a geek at heart!





My two Favorite characters are Rajesh Koothrappali from India. An Astrophysicist who has a social anxiety that is suppressed by alcohol and cannot talk to women if not intoxicated. Then comes Sheldon Cooper, or should I say Dr. Sheldon Cooper MSc, PhD. from Texas Who works as a Theoretical physicist. His character is way too complicated to explain, must be observed to understand!

I give it 2 thumbs up!

Last night's movie...








I got occupied with a few things at home... didn't notice the time...called (....) and took a rain check on our dinner plans...

it was too late to go out anyways and I'm tired.. but I'm not sleepy..so I decided I'll just stay in and watch a movie.

I found an art film.. a German film I bought a while back.. but never came around to seeing it.


Mostly Martha.. (bella Martha) 2001


Directed by: Sandra Nettelbeck

Genre: Comedy/Romance/Drama

a "food movie".. a romantic comedy about a thirtysomething year old top chef in a four-star restaurant in Hamburg, Germany, who finds love in the kitchen. Chef Martha (Martina Gedeck), a perfectionist who lives to create culinary masterpieces. Her sister dies in a car accident which turns her orderly world upside down and she takes in her eight-year-old niece Lina, when a fun-loving sous-chef named Mario (Sergio Castellitto) who is hired to help out in the busy restaurant attempts to win her hardened heart.

a bit of humor.. a bit of romance.. and alot of food. A lovely, lighthearted movie with a beautiful soundtrack.


highly enjoyable... what a way to end my day ...




I'd give it...
