We finally were able to get Ashley to the movies last night. Ratatouille was pretty good. Ashley said she liked it and I heard her laugh out loud at several points. But to be honest I believe the story was not filled with enough slap stick for younger kids. There were no moments that were unsuitable, but I think the story line was aimed more at older kids and adults. I mean how many children truly know what Foie gras is? I suspect they would choose a Happy Meal every time over say... The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York

No matter there were plenty of fun moments. After all who doesn't like a computer animated cartoons featuring a Rat as the puppet master of a chief in a kitchen? BTW the attention to detail made this animation truly great. And the talk of all the food made me hungry for a
5 star meal. As much as I enjoy the all you can eat nights at Sizzler, I remember eating at Martel's ( my personal culinary hero ) years ago and thinking Quality always trumps Quantity.


We had a good time and afterward ate and played until we dropped at Chic-fil-A . Ashley's choice in dining. Have you ever tried the salad with Raspberry dressing? yummy!!

We were trying to get Ashley to the movies with us tonight to see Ratatouille . Maybe later this week. So I think my sweetie and I will just relax and maybe watch a video together tonight.

Tomorrow is a SPECIAL day...stay tuned.

Our second fine cooking movie within a month. First we saw Ratatouille and now Kris and I have seen ( as predicted ) the movie No Reservations.

It's a nice story about a master chef Kate, whose only life is her work. But when her sister dies she has to care for her niece. And on top of that she thinks the new sous-chef is after her job.

But Nick, the new chef is not looking to replace her and despite their differences they find chemistry both in and out of the kitchen.

This was a nice romantic comedy. Entertaining though predictable. Still a tolerable "Chick Flick " guys so take your date and enjoy, then do what I will do. Drag her to see Bourne later in the week.
