This was one of Aunt Pat’s delicious recipes. It’s the perfect winter night’s meal and goes nicely with some oven-baked garlic bread. It also freezes well. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 t. salt (or more) 1/4 t. pepper (or more) dried oregano and basil 1 Lg. onion, chopped 2 boxes of beef broth…
Christmas is soon upon us – and if you’re anything like me – then you are completely stressed out and counting down the days until December 26th. Nothing gets my blood boiling like Christmas carols in November. For any of you out there looking for some last minute quirky little gifts for co-workers, acquaintances, your…
If you think this movie is nothing more than action packed race car driving, then think again – then go watch The Fast and the Furious. Ford v Ferrari has a story and well-rounded characters and interesting dynamics – it also happens to focus on race car driving. Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half* Rated: PG Starring: Good…
Anyone can spend money on a holiday gift – which is what we do each and every year for my kids’ teachers. Generally, we opt for a gift card to a book store or a coffee shop – something they will appreciate and get some use out of – as well as something that will…
My cousin alerted me to this scrumptious feast which can be found here at Allrecipes. It is the perfect mix of sweetness, tartness with a tiny bit of kick. It’s easy to throw together and then you just let it simmer til dinnertime. I recommend serving this with something to soak up the sauce –…
Jojo Rabbit is definitely an interesting movie – not just regarding plot – but also the way it is handled and unfolds. It’s one of those films that caught me off guard. Aspects of it annoyed me, yet I still enjoyed it. Tanya’s Score: Good* Rated: PG Starring: a funny vampire; Scarjo; Rebel Wilson Plot:…
I felt like putting together a post compiled of bad dates. And so people I know and people I don’t know eagerly sent me their bad date experiences to include. I’m happy to report that they are awkward; they are rude; they are weird; they are downright awful. They are even – at times –…
Sometimes a story – especially when it’s based on fact and has historical significance – can elevate an otherwise run-of-the-mill movie. This film could have been so much better – but nevertheless, Harriet’s character is inspiring and her story nothing short of incredible. Tanya’s Score: Good* Rated: PG Starring: a bunch of vaguely recognizable faces…
Took this one straight from the pages of an old milk calendar. What I like about this recipe is there’s a bit of prep involved in putting it together – but you can do it the night before and then just pop into the oven the next day. But I must admit – my kids…
So not a superhero (or super villain) movie in my opinion. Remove all references to Joker and Bruce Wayne and stick with Arthur Fleck and what you’ve got is the dark and poignant descent of a man failed by society at every turn. A movie like this restores my faith in amazing cinema. Tanya’s Score:…
