At Home with Trader Joe’s: Chicken Quesadillas & Lobster Ravioli
Gotta start by saying this is NOT a paid sponsorship or affiliation. I wouldn’t be adverse to that opportunity, but this post just comes from the fact that when I’m home, I don’t cook. I make easy does it, just add water or oil and stir kinda meals, while still looking for comfort foods, big tastes and lots of flavor. All of which I find in Trader Joe’s Southwest Chicken Quesadillas (4 Tines) – they come 2 in a box costing $3.29, so that’s less than $1.70 each. A price you can’t get at any restaurant, but they are restaurant quality! All the ingredients are real, as if you cut…

Commentary – J. Edgar
He was a mysterious figure in American history. His personal life was always shrouded in mystery … He was this bulldog figure, the face of the FBI, and he changed our country in a time of great lawlessness. Bank robbers were going from state to state becoming local heroes; he cleaned up all that mess. Got rid of the Commies and Bolshevik invasion while single handily creating this new federal police force. He was part of modern forensics and identifying everybody in our country. But then there were all those salacious rumors that you heard about him too. So it was very exciting to see somebody’s (Clint Eastwood) very specific…

20th Philadelphia Film Festival – The Descendants
The Closing night film, featured George Clooney in The Descendants. Basically, it’s hard not to like this film set in Hawaii, although, I don’t feel it’s as good as writer/director Alexander Payne’s film Sideways. Still, I was very impressed with the balancing act of threading laugh out loud humor into really tough situations. The timing of which, is nothing short of brilliant. Here’s what other reviewers are saying about the film: With The Descendants, Payne has once again found an eccentric realm for us to explore, though with less caustic wit, presenting a Hawaii set tale of another off-kilter character…Our preconceptions about Hawaii as a paradise are arrested in George…

20th Philadelphia Film Festival – Race to the Bottom of the Earth
Surprisingly compelling considering it's basically one man talking into a video camera about frost bite, broken camping stoves, broken skies, whiteout conditions, and calling his wife each night with sometimes incoherent reports of the day.
