Happy Independence Day my fellow Americans. May God grant everyone peace and prosperity.

Quote The Movie

We all have a movie we have seen so many times that you can quote it almost line by line. For us there are several of them. The dialogue is imprinted on your brain and you feel like you could do a reenactment like you see in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. The whole point of reciting the lines is to have a good time and perhaps annoy some folks in the process.

What is your favorite movie to quote line by line?

Real Fettuccine Alfredo

We had this for dinner tonight and it was delish. It’s an easy recipe courtesy of The Soup Diva!

  • 8-9 oz. fettuccine noodles (the fresher the better – I use Bertolli)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ stick real butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup (about 4 oz.) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated or shaved
  • Salt, black or white pepper, nutmeg, parsley, plus olive oil

Heat cream with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in small pot over medium heat; when it begins to steam slightly, reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in butter one cube at a time. When butter is melted, remove from heat (do not overheat). Cook noodles in water with a little salt and olive oil until slightly al dente (if the noodles are fresh, this will only take about 3 minutes). Drain and pour into large bowl. Add cheese and toss to incorporate, then pour hot cream mixture over and toss until blended and thickened. Sprinkle with nutmeg and parsley and serve immediately.

Notes:

This dish is very…

Independence Day – A Yearly Tradition

Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch and a deeply talented cast make this movie a classic. This film is a family classic that we watch each July 4th but this year on July 3rd.

I found this funny. As an Anglophile this is a weird time for me because of my love for England. I love the Queen and a lot of British stuff. There are some days I wish we could go crawling back…then there are some great things about America that make this place special too.

Back To The Future – Released 30 Years Ago

This is one of my all-time favorite movies and its 30 years old today. This makes me hurt just a little. Without doubt its one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever. It’s America’s time travel odyssey. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are a great team in this iconic summertime flick.
