Every once in a while, I go to see a movie I know very little about and am very pleasantly surprised. That’s what happened in this case. Based on one of the scanty trailers I happened to catch, I assumed this would be a light and fluffy movie low on substance – I was wrong.…
Found this only a few days ago in the Toronto Star and decided to give it a try. I made a few changes and it was a hit. A couple of the kids complained – but all plates were clean – a definite win! Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 c. beef broth 1 T. soy sauce 2…
According to my oldest daughter – I’m a complete and utter embarrassment. So-called for a mixed-bag of unintentional and somewhat deliberate reasons. Case in point: my wardrobe (who knew that t-shirts emblazoned with Scott Baio could reap such mortification), my naturally greying hair, my inevitable progression in years (both very much unintentional); or the time…
Definitely not as good as the first part. I felt like Chapter Two was pretty much phoned in to sum the story up. And is it horror or comedy? Based on some of the laughable effects as well as audience reaction – I still can’t be sure. This movie isn’t awful but it’s not all…
I found this one years ago in an edition of Kraft Magazine. It’s a quick and simple one to throw together; nothing fancy – but that’s how we roll. It’s kid-approved as well. Enjoy. Ingredients: 1 lb. pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips 1/4 c. Italian dressing 1 medium red pepper, sliced into thin strips…
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…
