Went to a screening of this film at the
Italian Cultural Institute last week. It
was totally charming. Lidia Bastianich was
there, so I introduced myself. She'd
mentioned that her mother is 89. Mine will be 90
soon, and when I told Lidia what we're
giving Mom for her b-day, she asked if she could
borrow the idea for her own mother's birthday. There's
one thing wrong with this poster, though—no
one drank anything but white wine (and a lot of it!)
in the entire film. It's a Roman thing, I was told.
[See more Mellow Yellow here.]
oh how exciting, the movie, meeting Lidia. I love watching her cook. So, what are you getting your Mom?
ReplyDeleteAlso, re your questtion about horseback riding in Bethpage. I have to say, you have some memory as well as an observant nature because the Bethpage Stables used to be directly across the street from that small hill I photographed.
I personally have never really noticed that hill until last year.
I also used to take riding lessons there when I was in Girl scouts.
ooh i hope and pray we get our visa approved so we can visit Italy =)
ReplyDeletehappy Monday! my entry is here http://thepinkzest.blogspot.com/2010/02/sign-spotting-project-2010.html
I shouldn't have visited Lidia's scrumptious-looking website on an empty tummy! That's a delightful poster, Alexa ~ I must remember such attention to detail if I'm ever called on to draw something like this. :) I'll look forward to hearing your b-day plans for your mum when you're ready to unveil them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful movie poster. I doubt the movie will make Tulsa for some reason.
ReplyDeleteFor sure the movie is fun, the title say for it self. Happy Monday!

Nice poster for the movie. Don't really see that many posters that pretty any more. Good MYM find.
ReplyDeleteLily -- I'll tell you after we give it to her.
ReplyDeleteKero -- I hope so too.
Shell -- I'm a copy editor—they pay me to notice stuff like that! (And apparently I can't turn it off after work.)
Yogi -- maybe it'll show up on Netflix (if you're lucky).
