Good morning, afternoon, evening, twilight to all!
No matter which country, which culture, there is one thing that connects the human race. Our love of movies.
Honestly, can you tell me you don’t enjoy flopping down, shutting the doors on your phone and email before having a garbage can’s worth of popcorn while sniffing into tissues in front of a nice big screen? No? I really didn’t think so 😀
Well then, today is a very important post for you.
As Aristotle said, “Education is the best provision for old age”. Everyone listens to the Greek elders traipsing around half naked with long beards in togas 😉 so I think you really need to learn what I am about to teach you today.
How. To. Watch. A. Movie.
Hold on, I will say it slowly again so you can grasp it.
How. To. Watch. A. Movie.
Got it? Good. I mean, as Aristotle puts it, god knows what you will be doing as a 105 year old if I do not teach you this necessary life skill 😛
To discover further, you may head on to a very close blogging buddy of mine, Sayantani at Food Lovers Club to check out your lesson in education of inestimable value AND an added bonus – A recipe for VANILLA MAPLE CARAMEL NUT POPCORN 😀
In other less convoluted words, I am guest posting at Sayantani’s amazing food blog so be sure to check it out 😀 – If you have never visited this special friend of mine, you are sorely missing out, considering Sayantani is gifted with her hands when it comes to cooking, baking, everything 🙂
While you’re there, why not take a gander at her recipes – I promise she does NOT disappoint 🙂
*****************************************************************************
I would also like to thank a few people from whom I have received awards during this week 🙂
Firstly, Kelli over at The Domestically Impaired Guide to the Retro Kitchen Arts was so kind as to present me with the Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you very much my friend 🙂
Kelli is a fairy godmother – she gives old worn wooden chairs a Cinderella makeover with a swish of her, um, hands and voila. A chair fit for a king 😀
Second, Katja over at Katja’s Kitchen also presented me with the Versatile Blogger Award – too sweet, thanks my friend 😀
If you have not already done so, I think you should pay a very long visit to her kitchen, which I visited literally rather than virtually, would be absolutely empty 😉
The rules of this award are simple
- Thank and link back to the bloggers who nominated you
- Tell 7 things about yourself
- Nominate 15 bloggers and let them know 🙂
Ok so 7 things? I will soon be up to revealing my deep and dark secrets 😉
- I am an expert movie watcher (if you check out the guest post, you will agree too ;))
- I am a morning person – I usually wake up 5-5:30 in the morning because I simply cannot wake up later…
- I am desperate for Sherlock Series 3 to come out a little earlier! (like maybe next week, despite the fact they start filming next year…)
- A lot of you know I am vegetarian but I have never actually tried meat in my 16 1/2 years of life, not even by accident 🙂
- I am a rollercoaster, fast rides, upside down fanatic and do not feel the need to vomit no matter how many rounds I do!
- I detest pretzel M&Ms (I have never understood how you can like them though the world seems to be in love!)
- I lost my most loved soft toy as a little girl stopping over in London (looks like I am long overdue to go back and find it ;))
And my nominees are *drum roll*
- Jaime @ Jaim’s Kitchen
- Mandy @ The Complete Cookbook
- Charlie @ Hotly Spiced
- Eva @ Kitchen Inspirations
- Björg @ A Solo Singer In America
- Karen @ Back Road Journal
- Cake With Love
- A_Boleyn
- Inger @ Art Of Natural Living
- Nicole @ Dining With A Stud
- Anne @ From My Sweet Heart
- Preena @ A Teaspoon Of Turmeric
- Anne @ Anne Sture Trucker
- Justine @ Life With Cheeseburgers
- Tandy @ Tandy Sinclair
Congrats to you all 😀
Third, a dear blogger, Maggie from Kitchie Coo awarded me my first ever Happy Blogger Award – thank you so much! Maggie has such a wonderful home cooking style and awesome tips on how to keep your kitchen on fire (note: not literally ;))
Ordinarily, you pass this award on to 10 more people, but since I have already nominated 15 above, I will only be nominating 5 more 🙂
Congrats to these bloggers:
- Viveka @ My Guilty Pleasures
- Kelli @ The Domestically Impaired Guide to the Retro Kitchen Arts
- Lisa @ Food Table (La Vie Eclectique)
- Lisa @ Sweet 2 Eat Baking
- Shannon @ Healthiful Balance
Finally, only yesterday, Viveka blogging at My Guilty Pleasures tagged me with The Adurna Blue Best Follower Award! I just think this is such a kind way to appreciate blogger commenting and support 🙂 – Thanks V, your blog has such a humorous and personal style, I love reading it!
I will not be passing this on to anyone but EVERYone! You all are always so sweet and appreciative of my posts and I want to send out to you all so from here on, you are ALL awarded with the Adurna Blue Best Follower Award 🙂
*****************************************************************************
Of course, I did not forget about my beloved chocolate post of the day, considering even my guest post is not chocolate (don’t worry it will be coming soon!). Today I am featuring Ruthanne of Easy Baked. She made some New Zealand style chocolate cookies and I fell head over heels. Hard. In love. Can you blame me?
*****************************************************************************
What are you still doing here? You are going to be late for your movie lesson (and a recipe for VANILLA MAPLE CARAMEL NUT POPCORN) over at Sayantani’s awesome blog, Food Lovers Club. Go! 😉
And have a very good week and weekend too!

Thank you kindly CCU for the Versatile Blogger award, that is so very kind of you. I must tell you a story of “Bear” — a small white bear who travelled with us as a married couple when ever we went on holiday. We were in Chateau Whistler, in British Columbia, and poor white bear must have gotten mixed up in the white sheets and sent down to the laundry. I left a note for house keeping hoping that they would find ‘Bear’. When we returned to our room that evening, the Manager of house keeping left me a note beside “Bear” (and I’m going by memory because it happened over 20 years ago!).
Dear Mrs. Taylor,
We caught “Bear” running down the hall this afternoon. We coaxed him to come with us and gave him milk and cookies. We have returned “Bear” to your safe keeping.
I hope I don’t ever forget this cute little story.
That popcorn is darn dangerous! Bookmarking for a later date when I can consume the entire lot in one sitting (don’t think I can’t!)
Have a wonderful day.

You know for me, its about finding out about a movie first before I get down to either going to the theatre or getting the cd to watch at home. In this way, I sort of am prepared to enjoy the movie and of course, the popcorns of yours will be splendid to be munched on to.
