  365 days, 524 recipes  – Bon Appetite!! It is tough to find a movie these days that come up to expectation (no, I am not “very” picky, maybe…); sister understand my pain and recommended to watch Julie & Julia. After downloading three more options, just in case, we settled for a movie night with hopes and expectations.   So the movie is about Julia Child and Julie Powell, both come from different times. Julia Child, played by ever, so genius and chameleon-like actor, Meryl Streep and Amy Adams plays Julie Powell, a struggling secretary at public office, living above a pizza shop in Queens, NewYork. The movie keeps switching between two eras, 1960 and 2002 and narrates the struggles of both the women. Nora Ephron has given us many wonderful movies, and sadly this was the last before her demise. She brings two real-life stories, "My Life In France" written by Julia Child, and "My Year of Cooking Dangerously" by Julie Powell. While Julia is bored...

Why is everyone watching Money Heist, La Casa De Papel  Season 1 & 2: Season Four of Money Heist, sadly or luckily, don't know the right word, happened when we were forced to be home for quarantine. It sure was the perfect timing, not intentionally meant but turned out a lot of us were so bored and seeing so much of Money Heist shared on social media, I too, succumbed under peer pressure and binge-watched all four seasons. Well, I wouldn't say it was an unpleasant watch, but I just don't understand how Professor can have such a calculated plan, every single time! I chose to watch it when I read it fell under the genre of action, crime & mystery. The word 'action' got my attention as it works for my husband and me.
