![]() ![]() But the doughnut as we know it arrived in Manhattan, New Amsterdam with the Dutch, who called them olykoeks (oily cakes). Archaeological evidence of doughnut-like substances has turned up in every corner of the globe, especially in early American cultures. But right up there with that would be “doughnut maker”. So, that's a win.It is often said that “lady of the night” is the oldest profession. But I was able to create something inspired by Sweeney Todd once again, with only ingredients I already had on hand. I had some fun recipe ideas from both Sleepy Hollow and JatJP, but alas, the current state of the grocery stores did not allow me to bring those ideas to fruition (but hey, there's always later). Beetlejuice, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Alice in Wonderland, Edward Scissorhands, and Sweeney Todd. I've actually created recipes inspired by a few of Burton's films in the past. I also contemplated watching either Dark Shadows.which I'd forgotten I actually owned until I was hunting through my dvds.or Big Fish, as well. I actually wound up watching a few this month- Sleepy Hollow, James and the Giant Peach (for the bazillionth time), and Sweeney Todd (for only the 4th or 5th time). A few months ago I was invited to take part in a virtual party for a new Austen-inspired release called The Jane Austen Society by author Natalie Jenner, thrown by The Book Club Cookbook, and today.release day.the date has arrived! The Jane Austen Society is not a spin-off or new take on any of her classics, but rather a story centered around the impact that reading Jane Austen has had on the lives of a group of people.įor this month's round of Food 'n Flix, our host, Kimberly from Coffee and Casseroles invited us to head into the kitchen and pull our recipe inspiration from the vast selection of Tim Burton's filmography. ![]() That may still happen one day.īut that's a thought for another day. Although oddly enough, I've never posted anything directly from the source herself, though in my head I'm constantly entertaining a year-long Jane Austen challenge (for myself) right here on the blog. And just ask my family about the Austen marathons I hold at home-some version or another of the films or mini-series often being rewatched. Hey, remember me? Huge fan of the works of Jane Austen? You may have been clued in to this fact when I hosted the #JaneAustenBites event, or from my reviews and kitchen inspiration from spin-offs such as Clueless, The Jane Austen Book Club, The Austen Escape, or Chaos Comes to Longbourn. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I did glimpse a pretty white macaron sculpture with a dove perched atop, but it was far too sweaty here this week to attempt meringue. You can glimpse people eating in restaurants, parties, and even in hotel rooms (fruit and eggs?), but you really have to pause and stare hard to try and figure out exactly what it is they're eating most of those moments. There were small mentions of it here and there-baguettes, James Joyce eating sauerkraut and sausage, and acknowledgement of a shared love of Indian food and pita bread. I've seen it once before, and probably bits and pieces here and there on television, but this time I sat down to watch it with my eye on the food.Įxcept that there wasn't all that much food to be found. That said, this is one film of his that I can tolerate, and maybe even slightly enjoy. It's that time of the month again time to hop into the kitchen and create something inspired by a film.this month's film being Midnight in Paris, as chosen by our May Food 'n Flix host Debra from Eliot's Eats! So, much like Debra, I'm not a big fan of Woody Allen. ![]()
