Your blog is so fine: for food, for family, and for everything else. I always read it.

Hi Maria! Hope you are up and about and feeling well soon. I have a recommendation that will keep you enthralled for a a few hours, the mini series of Pride and Prejudice. I have watched it several times, and it is by far the best adaptation of the novel. Be sure to choose the one with Colin Firth!
Love your recipes!
Sort-of random – but I would love if you guys did a post about your garden sometime this spring/summer. I just started a few raised garden beds and I feel like you share a few photos of produce/herbs from your garden that are always thriving. Would love to see what you plant from seed/starter, your tips and tricks, etc. Or if you do it on stories make a highlight or video so it can be looked back on (I would hate to miss it – maybe you have done this and I haven’t seen it!)
Movie recommendation: A great movie about family – CODA. Highly recommend it!
hey y’all- great list! I have been praying for u Josh. Glad everything went well. Yummy food.
I’m reading a book series by Donna Leon featuring Commissario Brunetti. Always a good detective story in each book, but I really enjoy reading about his family life. The series is set in Venice, Italy. His wife and two children are featured prominently in each book. I love reading about what they are eating. Lots of kitchen scenes! Donna Leon lived in Venice for many years. I have never been to Venice, but I feel as though I know it intimately through her books. I am currently reading her latest, book 31!
You may have already watched these… American Underdog – story about quarterback Kurt Warner. 12 Mighty Orphans -story of a football team from an orphanage…also based on a true story.
Josh, I just started a new series called the Lincoln Lawyer, on Netflix, based on the book by Michael Connelly. So far so good. I hope you have a speedy recovery
Pinky Blinders is a wonderful series
Death in Paradise is fun,starring Ben Miller.
Have you seen The A Team? or Ghost Story? How about Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders?
