You're Invited to a #FoodNFlix Pickle Party

By

 

This month, June 2021, I am hosting Food'N'Flix, the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen. So to kick off the summer months, I chose The Pickle Recipe*.

Pickles are a great way to preserve summer's produce and I, for one, can never have enough pickle recipes.

The movie is available on Amazon prime for free. So, I hope everyone can access it. Or crash a friend's house who has Prime over the next few weeks. The movie's worth it!

Foods and Family

The Pickle Recipe is a heartwarming family comedy where the recipe is really just a metaphor for life: People in our lives are the ingredients that make us who we are. 

This is particularly poignant for me as we just spent the weekend with Jake's family to celebrate his grandmother's life. Far removed from his immediate and extended family, those influences aren't always apparent. But this trip, the boys commented about how "Daddy and Uncle Isaac have the same vocal intonations" or "Poppa and Dad have the same nose."

The Mann Family cousins - June 2021

While this movie about getting their grandmother's famous dill pickle recipe, ethnicity doesn’t matter here. I hope that this movie inspires you to think about recipes and foods passed down from one generation to the next. I'd love to  see your favorite pickle recipes -  because I'm sort of pickle obsessed - but feel free to share anything from the movie or anything that says 'family' to you!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
