I think that I will take my kiddos to it this evening. today has been a total let down emotionally and could use a good chuckle.

Cassandra and I took our kids to see it this afternoon, and Cass couldn't understand why I kept saying "Amen" during one particular monologue (I won't spoil it by quoting, but I will admit its the one about the differences between professional chefs working in a commercial kitchen and talented cooks who only cook at home.)
Its a fantastic movie... perhaps Pixar's best yet. And thank God for Keller's consulting... most of the kitchenwork looks pretty accurate.

I'd love to see it! Since DH is somewhat indifferent to the details of cooking, I'll probably end up seeing it solo. No Reservations is also on my list.

| "Dear Husband". People use that rather than his given name. "DW"- I guess you can get that yourself.

I saw Ratatouille this weekend, thought it was good......probably would not interest an adult who is not into cooking.
The restaurant rat scene was interesting and kinda lost something when non-trained staff came in and cooked.
Colette was interesting....most women I know that run kitchens here are not so hardened.
the difference between following recipes and rifting is well done.....
Rat's hands look twice as big as his fellow rats....I like that they wash them....
walk-ins looked really fun to explore.....oooo la la. | | |
