It’s been ridiculously hot in my neck of the woods, so despite the fact that MM loves the warmth, we’ve been lounging in our AC. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t gotten warm inside anyway, especially in the kitchen. 🙂 I’ve gone a bit crazy with the baking lately. Mostly, I’ve been haunting SeriousEats.com, learning how to make pie crusts and fillings, and other types … Continue reading Baking – In more ways than one!
MM and I love Italy. For MM, the love started the first time we went, back in 2011. Rome was the first leg of our belated honeymoon trip (that included Amsterdam, Paris and western Ireland). He easily understood how to get around the city, and had no problem figuring out what we wanted to do every day. We’ve been there a total of 6 times … Continue reading Roma – Tips and Tricks
We prefer to have at least 3 days for Rome, but it’s also our favorite city to visit. We wake up late, target one major site to see for the day, and build in a lazy lunch. We also take our time strolling to various piazzas, taking some time to read and take in the crowds, grab some wine. Keep that in mind with our … Continue reading Roma – Sites and Itineraries
Watched: July 5, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Stars MM Rating: 3 stars Kegger’s Review: I remember watching Mister Rogers a little. Mostly, I remember the opening and closing songs, and the Kingdom of Make Believe. Oh, and the stoplight, too. When I heard this documentary was coming out, I was really interested – I dig that kind of thing, I think. Don’t get me wrong, … Continue reading Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Watched: July 6, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Stars MM Rating: 4 stars Kegger’s Review: Wow. This movie started out making me a bit uncomfortable. The first actor I see has, in the past, made me laugh quite a bit, but the things he was saying in no way made sense with that preconceived notion. In essence, I didn’t know if it was meant to be … Continue reading BLACKkKLANSMAN
Watched: July 6, 2019 Kegger Rating: 3 Stars MM Rating: 2 stars Kegger’s Review: I knew a bit of the end of the story of Queen, so I was interested to see what happens at the beginning. And they flew right through it! Which in hindsight was a good thing. During the movie, however, I was wondering – we’re halfway through, and it’s already into … Continue reading Bohemian Rhapsody
MM and I decided to turn the week of Independence Day into a staycation! As a result, I’ve had some time to make things that I usually talk myself out of, due to the amount of time they’d take, and how much I typically like to take it easy when not working. 🙂 (We’ve also been spending our time catching up on our Movie Challenge, … Continue reading Celebrating USA’s Birthday
Watched: July 2, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Star MM Rating: 2 Star Kegger’s Review: At no time will sequel be better than the original. Except maybe Ghostbusters 2, Toy Story 3, and Home Alone 2. That’s for MM. I’d been pleasantly surprised with Wreck-It Ralph when it came out – enough nostalgia, silliness and heart was the perfect combination for me. I figured Ralph Breaks … Continue reading Ralph Breaks the Internet
Watched: July 3, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Star MM Rating: 4 stars Kegger’s Review: I’ve been a fan of traditional animation for as long as I can remember. I was a bit of a skeptic when it came to computer animation. It wasn’t until Pixar came out with Toy Story that I fell in love with that style. Motion capture wigged me out a little … Continue reading Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse
Watched: May 27, 2019 Kegger Rating: 3 Stars MM Rating: 3 stars Kegger’s Review: I didn’t have huge hopes for this particular movie – after all, there haven’t been a lot of good, mid-range style movies lately. Most of the hype has been around the big movies: Avengers, Incredibles, Oceans 8, etc. So it’s been hard to focus on the ones that aren’t block busters … Continue reading Tag
