Kathleen Kennedy: From Standing In Line For ‘Star Wars’ To Producing It Herself : NPR

The Lucasfilm president was handpicked by George Lucas to take over his company and the franchise. She’s aware that all her film mentors have been men; “I need to bring other women along,” she says.

Love Actually, Modern Love @ Christmas Time

It’s not Christmas without Love Actually. We saw this movie for the first time last year. Richard Curtis wrote a great story featuring an amazing cast. There is a lot of great British talent plus Laura Linney who is honorary because she introduces America to Downton Abbey on PBS each Sunday.

Supper Tonight: Sloppy Tots

This looks like a strange concoction but its a great combination of a deconstructed Sloppy Joe on top of tater tots. We first came upon this dish on a church mission trip to Marion, Virginia where we had to eat up leftovers. We made Sloppy Joes and heated up tater tots. Our trip leader Dave had the idea to combine the two and Sloppy Tots were born.

Most folks will use a canned sauce for the Joe’s but I use a recipe I found online years ago called Ma Fosters Sloppy Joes and I use ready made tater tots that heat in the oven. They are better with a little crispness to them.

As you see we put some cheese on top to give it some extra flavor. Try it, it’s delish!

I should be asleep

But nope,  I’m awake and playing on my smartphone. Not the best way to promote sleeping so I hear. It’s 4:30 in the morning as I write this BTW. Why am I awake again?

It’s The Weekend You Guys!
