(500) Days of Summer and Swedish Meatballs
There wasn’t a lot of foodie inspiration in this month’s Movies & Munchie feature. I was inspired by the Ikea scene. If you haven’t seen this movie, it is a a cute, clever and poignant film about relationships. (Notice I didn’t say it was a rom-com.)
Book review: Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff
Code Name Sapphire is set in 1942 Brussels and features some strong heroines. Ultimately, it’s a book that will have you questioning “What would you do to save the ones you love?”
“In My Kitchen” February 2023

December 2022 “In My Kitchen”
I plan throughout the year for December themed posts, subjects like the most original “12 Days of Christmas Treats,” jams , DIY and gift making (done a couple of times), some miscellaneous posts, and cookies.
