Exploring Food and Movies

       While in Seattle I ended up going to Toulouse Petit for brunch with my family. It is on Queen Anne Ave. N. It is a New Orleans style restaurant that serves cajun-creole food. It's a decent sized place. There are blown glass lanterns hanging outside. Also above each table is a similar lamp hanging down. Like upside down Venetian vases. The floor is tiled in circular patterns. There are booths with gold velvet backing. The tables are beautifully crafted and designed wood tables. The walls are stucco-like, painted a mix of green and mustard yellow. Which sounds weird but it works. There are shelves on the walls with many small low candles. I bet it looks beautiful at night. A disco ball hangs from the ceiling near the bar. We got beignets for an appetizer. They were small. Good for sharing. I admit I didn't order the most unique thing. A lot of the food is spicy and I don't handle spice well. So I got a heirloom tomato and avocado eggs benedict with bacon. It was...

 Friday: Freakier Friday (2025)        It's been 22 years since the events of the first movie. Anna is a single mother to a teenage daughter, Harper. She struggles to balance her career and raising Harper. Harper gets into an altercation with a new girl, Lily, at school. Anna and Lily's dad, Eric, are called to the school. Anna and Eric hit it off right away. They eventually get engaged. Harper and Lily are not happy about it. Especially when it means they might have to move. Tess is doing her best to help. Then at Anna's bachelorette party Anna, Tess, and the two girls encounter a psychic who puts a spell on them. In the morning they wake up in different bodies. They have to figure out how to reverse the spell while living each others lives. I thought this movie was good. It was better than I thought it would be. I thought it would follow the trend of remakes and sequels. It would be focused on the younger characters with the originals just being there as side ...

 Friday: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)       Four astronauts were exposed to cosmic rays in space and came back with superpowers. They quickly became Earth's heroes. Then a herald, Silver Surfer, brings a message to Earth. The god she serves, Galactus, is headed for them and will consume their world. The Fantastic Four have to figure out a way to stop him and save Earth. I thought this movie was good. It is set in futuristic 60s. A lot was done practically as far as sets and all that. Which I appreciate. Finally a good Fantastic Four movie. One of their main enemies, in the comics, is the new villain for the upcoming Avengers movies.  So it will be interesting to see how they come to be with the other Avengers. I guess that's where the multiverse comes into play. Saturday: Lost in Starlight (2025)       This is a Korean animated film. It is about a young scientist, Nan-young, who's mother was an astronaut. Her mom died in an accident...
