Other Weekend Things

Gentle Readers and Dear Friends, thank you so very much for all your kind comments about my 1000th post.  I really do enjoy blabbering on and will not be going anywhere anytime soon - so you will have to put up with me and my postings for a bit longer!!

On Sunday I baked up a really delicious (if I do say so myself) Lemon blueberry cake.  The recipe came from The Country Cook Blog, a wealth of wonderfulness, she had a guest Blogger, Rhondi from Big Mama's Home Kitchen who shared it with us all.  It was this recipe that I made - in honor of July, Blueberry Month.  Here is a snap of what I made....

I picked up the blueberries from the Farmers Market in the morning and made the cake in the afternoon - it is really moist a delicious.  I will get the recipe up over at BBB in the morning, but you can click over to The Country Kitchen for it right now.  Go check out both Blogs as they are just super!!!!

Over the weekend I got a DVD of the HBO TV Film called "Into the Storm: Churchill at War" - 2009 - starring Brendan Gleeson and Janet McTeer.  This was a great film that continued the story from the film "The Gathering Storm" that shows a different angle to the man and his relationship to his wife and his life towards the end of the war.


Gleesan and McTeer as Winston and Clemmie from "Into the Storm"

I really enjoyed McTeer's performance and had seen her in a top notch film called "Songcatcher" - 2000.  Both "Into the Storm" and "Songcatcher" are great movies and I would recommend them both.

  3. Thanks yet again for reminding me of a great movie. I'll have to put Songcatcher on my Netflix cue. When it first came out, Bill and I purchased the soundtrack on cassette tape ... I'll have to see if that's available on CD now. There was some phenomenal music in that movie.
