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.

It's been getting a whole lotta press, local reviewer gave it a B+....Thomas Keller was the consulting chef on it.....where does that man find the time?

He's a chef, a mutitasker! He was probably talking while skimming his consomme.

Yeah I took my 4yr old son to see it last night, we both loved it !

Its on my "movies to see" list along with
No Reservations
Transformers
Resident Evil 3
Rush Hour 3
Oceans 13

Finally got to see Live Free, Die Hard and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 this long weekend. Both were good.

BTW ...Happy Canada Day and Happy 4th of July down south guys!

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.

I've been meaning to ask this for some time: What does "DH" stand for?

Shel the Curious

Cummon people go see it already so we can talk about it!

He probably got some other person to do his work while he chatted here

What does "DH" stand for?

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

Which leads me to another question - why do so many people use pseudonyms here? Is there some reason not to use one's real name?

Shel (confused by all the secrecy)

Hey Shel didn't mean to call you a chica, sorry if I put any soy on ya

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.
