This month, I hosted  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . So for July's Food'N'Flix, I chose  The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society .* This was a movie that I started on the plane to Denmark, over the holidays, but I dozed off during the twelve hour flight and forgot all about the movie. Something jogged my memory recently and I decided to watch it. And I found it  so  charming, I opted to host it for this month's event... and  suggested it for one of my book groups this month also. It's available to stream on Netflix, if you're interested! I have included a link to the book at the bottom of this post because I still can't decide which I liked better. And that's a rarity for me. The other Food'N'Flixers seemed to enjoy the movie as well, though Wendy did suggest that you watch first, then read. I would agree with that. Here's what the group...

Years ago a good friend, and native Spaniard, gave me a lesson in how to make paella. So, when I knew that I was doing a Basque wine pairing, I excitedly planned to make paella. And I tracked down a bottle of Basque wine for the pairing. If you follow my posts, you might recall that I picked up a bottle from the wrong side of the Pyrenees . Actually, I picked up more than one! So, here's my second bottle of wine from the Spanish Basque region that I can't use for the French Basque post coming up next month. Oh, well. You get to hear about it early. In My Glass I picked up a bottle of Itsasmendi Txakoli 2016 which hails from Bodegas Itsasmendi - Basque for 'Sea and Mountain' - in the Basque DO of Bizkaiko Txakolina overlooking the Bay of Biscay, not far from the city of Bilbao. Itsasmendi’s winery and a large portion of their vineyard have been located in the UNESCO-declared Biosphere Reserve of Urdaibai which was designated in 2002. As a Biosphere Reserve, U...

This month I am hosting #FoodNFlix and #LitHappens as we watch and read, respectively, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society . You can read my Food'N'Flix invitation here . In any case, I asked the Food'N'Flix crew to watch and head to the kitchen. On the Screen I actually watched the movie first, then read the book. And I'm glad that I did it in that order, because had I read the book, then watched the movie, I think I would have been disappointed. The movie itself is delightful, a wholesome albeit predictable charmer. The basic plot: Juliet Ashton, played by Lily James, is a young writer in London who receives a letter from a member of a literary club on the island of Guernsey. Dawsey Adams, played by Michiel Huisman tells her about how they formed the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society to hide a roasted pig from the Nazis. The correspondence inspires Juliet to make a trip to Guernsey and meet the wickedly eccentric members fo...
