Netflix choices

Tomatoes are pouring in from the garden.  This is the first offering of the season. Serve it hot or cold and make it spicy. Yum

Get busy.


I expect you all are on Netflix.  We love it here and Alyssa (in New Orleans) and I shoot notes to each other about what to watch for sure. I started slowly because I didn't think I would like a movie on an iPad, but I do.  I put on earphones and it is as though I am in the movie with the characters. I started off with Doc Martin, a British series that I really enjoyed.  I am looking forward to the next season. The movie Primal Fear is very good, but it has been on regular TV, but so has Doc Martin (on public television.) Scandal, the Borgias (really good), Double Jeopardy, the movie, is gripping. How to get away with Murder was good and then I got really confused and tired of trying to find out who killed whom. The old West Wing and Madam Secretary are favorites. The Lovely Bones was excellent, but sad. The Tutors was a favorite and there were lots of bad goings on in that one! I just finished Atonement today. In the Valley of Elah was gripping.Twisted with Ashley Judd was good. Madam Bovary makes me mad.  I had the same reaction to the book.  The Girl who Played with Fire series. The Double was interesting to me. Iris was different and I likes it. Loved Breaking Bad. Can't wait for the new episodes of House of Cards...so good. The Paradise; loved it. Call the Midwife is okay, but not my favorite. Keeping up Appearances; I've watched this British series for years. Haute Cuisine is another that I liked.  Basic Instinct is old but interesting. I have more, but the Republican convention is on and chaos is afoot.

We are looking at our plot of spaghetti squash with mouths watering.  The squash will take a few more weeks, but it looks like we will have a bumper crop.  Picture it with butter, garlic and shrimp as well as the tex mex boat below. (Also, chicken pot pie for dinner.)
