Food ornaments for grown ups

Posted on 3 November 2019 by lynnandtonic

I love a pizza or hamburger ornament as much as the next fool, but I especially adore these new food ornaments from Anthropologie.

Now you can decorate your tree with your favorite grown up treats. Many of them are an acquired taste.

Phil Ferguson is a crochet hero. His Instagram features oversized, food-themed crocheted hats. Wish I could get my hands on some of these.

See more on his Instagram feed.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Colin Firth as a gentleman spy? Yes please. Kingsman: The Secret Service is just awesome, combining great actors, fine suits, comedy, and over-the-top-violent fight scenes. It’s James Bond meets Kick-Ass (basically the only kind of James Bond film I’d be interested in seeing from this point on).

Watch the trailer again and then go see it in theaters immediately.

For the love of Sriracha

A history and behind the scenes look at Huy Fong’s famous rooster sauce.

I love sriracha. Sometimes I decide what to eat based on what I can add sriracha to. If you’re like me, you definitely need these portable, refillable Sriracha 2 Go bottles. Never get stranded eating a meal without your favorite condiment.

Making of The LEGO Movie

Some more animation goodness. Everything is awesome in this video showing the process behind The LEGO Movie. Creating the realistically miniature world was all about attention to detail. I especially love how it’s computer animation, but feels like stop-motion.

Into the Woods

Posted on 12 January 2015 by lynnandtonic

Last week I finally saw Into the Woods and although I’m a huge fan of musicals and classic fairy tales, I didn’t love it. It was charming and funny at parts, but I suspect it works much better on stage than on film.

Anna Kendrick and Emily Blunt are as lovely as can be, Meryl Streep is excellent as always, but Johnny Depp is borderline annoying as the Wolf, a creepy child predator.

As much as I wish it were the songs, the true highlight of the film is the costume design. The clothing, especially worn by the women, is truly stunning. Just look at those dresses!
