Exploring Food and Movies

 Wednesday: The Road Dance (2021)       Kirsty is a young woman who lives on the coast of Scotland. She dreams of leaving and going to the United States. She wants more than just being a farmer. Murdo, her boyfriend, comes home after training to fight in WWI. They talk and make plans to get married and move to the U.S. Then Murdo and all the young men from the village are called to fight in the war. The night before they leave tragedy strikes and Kirsty is raped by an unknown man. She has no idea if the man who did it is now off to war. Later she finds out she is pregnant.

    Saturday I went to Wild Child Pizza on NE Alberta. There is street parking. It is small. It's painted orange and black with a bold pattern on the orange. There is a small alley you go into and order at the window. There is no seating. At least not when I went. They make Detroit style pan pizza. I got two slices, pesto chicken and pepperoni. The pepperoni had a dollop of marinara on top. It was good but spicy. The pesto chicken had bacon and a ranch drizzle on top. It was SO good. There was no where else to sit and eat, so I ended up eating it in my car. The service was good. It seemed like a long time before I got my slices even though they were already cut. I realized this was to add the other ingredients on top and heat it up. I would go back tomorrow. I'll be dreaming about that pizza.

She hope it will give her exposure. She ends up picking Rodney Alcala. He seems like a great guy. Little does she know he is a serial killer. I thought this movie was alright. I had heard about him before on a podcast I listen to. It was interesting to see it from her point of view.  Thursday: The Black Cat (1934)       The movie, as the credits say, is suggested by the Edgar Allan Poe story.
