Culinary Adventures with Camilla

  Today the Wine Pairing Weekend group is taking you to school. As it's back-to-school, host Robin of Crushed Grape Chronicles invited us to pick a theme about which we are an expert. Well, what she really said was "Pick a wine-related theme and teach us something about it! It can be on a specific wine, a region, pairings, flavors and tasting, viticulture, winemaking...You pick the subject and we are ready to be schooled!" Phew. Because I am not an expert in the topic I chose; I just wanted to learn more about it and I'm always up for an Italian food and wine pairing! If you are reading this early enough, feel free to jump in on our live Twitter Chat on Saturday, September 10th at 8am Pacific time. Follow the hashtag #WinePW and be sure to add it to anything you tweet so we can see it. Ready to learn something new? Here's the line-up of the articles...

This month, Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm is hosting our new Movies and Munchies blogging group; she invited us to watch  Off the Menu . Read her invitation here . I had watched it during one of my rom-com waves throughout the pandemic. Thank goodness for Netflix...it kept me sane many, many days. But I happily watched it again, this time with foodie glasses on. D groaned when it started, "Mom, haven't you watched this already?"  Yes.  "Then, why are you watching it again? Don't tell me...it's for one of your groups!"  Yes, again. On the Screen This movie is a formulaic rom-com with lots of gorgeous food mixed in. Formula or not, it's a fun way to spend a couple of hours. I'm just going to say  clichéd, but enjoyable. We meet Joel Flanagan whose family dynasty is a chain of fast-food Mexican restaurants. Though he is much more interested in training for a triathlon, he grudgingly participates in board meetings for Tortilla Hut. At one o...

  Today the Sunday Funday group is writing about and sharing potatoes recipes. Thanks to Stacy of  Food Lust People Love , Sue of  Palatable Pastime , Rebekah of  Making Miracles , and Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  for coordinating this low-stress group. This week Stacy is hosting and asked us to post stuffed potato recipes. She shared: "When I was growing up, one of my favorite restaurants was a baked potato place with myriad fillings like stroganoff and broccoli and cheese, even chicken curry! Of course, they also served the more traditional potatoes with bacon, chives, sour cream and cheese. For this event, I challenge you to get creative! Make stuffed baked potatoes! They can be stuffed and double baked or just filled after baking. They can be big meal-sized potatoes or appetizer-sized baby ones." Here's the line-up for the week...
