There hasn’t been a good foodie movie since Julie and Julia came out in 2009. (Well, that was half of a good foodie movie as the parts with the blogger Julie were annoying.) Now we have the movie, Toast: The Story of a Boy’s Hunger, based on food writer, Nigel Slater’s book of the same [...]
I first came across the Tintin comics at my uncle’s home in France. He brought in a few of the books to my room hoping that they’d keep me entertained. The problem was that they were all in French since they probably belonged to my older cousins. Even so, I did love gazing at the [...]

My daughter, Lucie and I loved Princess and the Frog when it came out in movie theaters. Lucie loved Tiana, the princess story and funny characters like Louis the trumpet playing gator. I enjoyed the animation, Randy Newman’s music, and references to the culture and food of New Orleans. Most of all I loved how [...]
