A bunch of 12-year-olds dropping F bombs and discussing sex acts – what could possibly go wrong? Apparently quite a bit. This movie billed as a raunchy comedy is too uneven and inconsistent in my opinion. For more details, read my review of Good Boys below. Tanya’s Score: Okay* Rated: 14A Starring: the Wonder kid…
An Update On Darius Fitzgerald: Every few months, Darius Fitzgerald undergoes a sedated MRI in order to monitor his many tumours caused by neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). One of his most recent scans revealed an aggressive tumour growing on his spine that was also wrapped around his vertebral artery. His medical team needed to act…
This mysterious recipe (because I have no idea where I got it from) has been serving me well over the past 20 years. It’s the perfect quick and simple dish when you are short on time and short on ingredients (there are only a few). And the kids gobble it up too. I’ve passed it…
I was disappointed . . . but out of the 5 of us I was the only one who felt this way. It’s not that the movie wasn’t scary (it is), it’s creepy and intense and has a pretty good storyline to boot. I just felt the gimmick wore thin sooner rather than later. For…
My friend Sandra brought a tray of these treats over to my place earlier this year. When she passed along the recipe to me, I could not believe how easy they were to put together. I’ve made them several times and they are always a hit. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 c. butter, softened 1/2 c. white…
The recent spate of Disney live-action remakes hold no intrigue for me. I plan on seeing them all – and none of them have been bad – but they aren’t re-inventing the wheel here – simply cashing in further on an established and wholesome brand. Tanya’s Score: Good* Rated: PG Starring: Queen Bey; Atlanta’s “it”…
I’m always on the hunt for hacks – anything to make my life easier – to save time, money, effort, my sanity. Once in a while, I’ll come across something in an online search and after trying it out – will realize it’s a bit of a dud. But that’s not the case with the…
Flipping through my very first recipe book – painstakingly compiled during my engagement – back when I was young and eager to prove myself a home cook worth her salt – I found this gem. In my notes, I had written “awesome!” so I figured I may as well give it another go. I’m happy…
Once Upon a Time . . . In Hollywood wobbles between fact and fiction to the point where it’s difficult to determine where one ends and the other begins. An unexpected foray into what lies behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in 1969, this movie entertains. It also impresses. Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half* Rated: 14A…
Another recipe from unknown origins – that caught my eye and which I copied out into one of my hand-written recipe books. This one takes a bit of time to prep – but is so worth it. I double the recipe and then have enough patties for another day. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. ground…
