The fact is that what I watch and what I read influences what I cook. When I was rereading Lord of The Rings a few years ago I created mushroom dishes that made my husband flee from the kitchen. It took me three weeks to read the whole series, and I used mushrooms in almost every dish for that...

WarGames This movie is sort of woven into the fabric of my childhood. We were an "early adopter family", meaning that we had cable TV before many of our neighbors. Therefore, WarGames was on HBO in 1988. A lot. Like every day for two months. I was ten and I ate it up. Now that this film is...

Eureka I often get asked, "What do you watch on TV?" Well, here's the answer: Eureka, Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, The Office, Madmen and some PBS programs. Mostly I wait for DVD or watch them on Netflicks on demand. It's a lot easier because I don't have to sit though commercials. DH and...

Black Snake Moan This movie has been recommended to me countless times by people who have the same movie tastes that I do. It's impossible to escape, so I decided to rent it. Well... how do I put this. This movie is interesting, overly complex, and fun to watch. I've seen better, but I've...

You make brownie cookies. Each week I make cookies for my husband and I. Mostly, because it's less expensive than going out and buying a pack of cookies with suspect ingredients.

Smokin' Aces Last night we went out to a half price book store, and decided to raid their DVD collection. It's the best way to find out of print movies and B classics. Oh, and the movies are only $1.50 so it beats rental costs any day. We picked up Smokin' Aces because it looked like it was...

Once Upon a Time in China I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. I love Kung Fu movies. Yes, I know, they are plot-less and have predictable characters. Yet, all of that with standing I'm a sucker for a good one. Especially if it involves the following men: Jet Li, Bruce Lee, and Jacky...
