The Taste of Things Roundup for Movies & Munchies, May Edition
I’m always on the hunt for a good culinary-themed movie and I think I may have hit the jackpot with The Taste of Things (France 2023). It’s a beautifully shot film that totally focuses on food (and love). I hosted that film for Movies & Munchies for May. We had four participants this month. Camilla…

…and trying to master the French omelette.
April/May Cook the Books: The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson
Read on for a review of the book and my take on Tilly’s Famous Bacon and Onion Sandwiches using onion jam. YUM!
Bean Salad and The Life List
The Life List (Netflix 2025) is the April Movies & Munchies feature film. Wendy (A Day In the Life on the Farm) and Camilla (Culinary Cam) are hosting. I had not heard of this movie and was intrigued. I love Connie Britton, too. Alex, a young woman who might suffer from fear of flying, is…
Blueberry-Lemon Cobbler with Thyme

Ina and the BEST brownies
Welcome to the February/March round for Cook the Book. I am hosting Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten. You can read the announcement post here. I’ve been posting a lot of Ina fan-girl posts lately but it’s taken me a while to get this one ready. About the book: Here, for the first time, Ina…
Wild Mountain Thyme
The Movies & Munchies film for March is Wild Mountain Thyme (2020). Terri from Our Good Life (https://www.terristeffes.com/) is hosting. I had preconceived ideas about this movie. From the title I imagined a Hallmark or Lifetime movie. The sweeping views of the beautiful Irish coast opening intrigued me though. Then I spotted Christopher Walken and…
13 Going on 30 and Pina Colada Cupcakes
13 Going on 30 is the Movies & Munchies film for February. Camilla from Culinary Cam is hosting. I am a Jennifer Garner fan so I’m not sure why I never even heard of this film. We’ve all experienced the awkward middle school angst along with the obligatory mean girls that seem to be part…
The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Joe Siple: A Review with Elevated Hot Dogs (or Ina, Part II)
I wrote recently that I didn’t post a lot of book reviews for Lit Happens, a FB book club. I decided that I would indeed do another review for our February Selection The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Joe Siple. Camilla from Culinary Cam is hosting. About the Book: The international bestselling novel…
Table for Six and a pitcher of margaritas
I usually don’t do EE posts for Lit Happens, a FB book club that I mostly participate in. I’ve only done three plus the very late one I recently revisited, The Farmer’s Wife (which was a Lit Happens feature a few years ago), so I decided to post about our current January read, Table for…
