Happy New Year! We continued our food movie “marathon” and watched Tortilla Soup which was pretty bad! I remember when it came out but I had never seen it before. The scenes of the dad and that child his daughter babysat were so creepy! Why was he eating lunch with a random child at school? Meeting her at the school bus with food? All without telling her mother. Eek. We also watched Les saveurs du Palais which was based on a real woman’s story but oddly framed and lacking depth.

We got sushi for lunch (lucky fish only).

Then we made a big pot roast and latkes since it was the end of Hanukkah. Normally we do more themed food to match the movies but it’s been a year. The holidays were all so close this year, especially since we had fake Christmas too. It’s the first year we had to cook for all the days as well.
