The movie a...I think you folks were just too young! The movie actually made a bit of a splash when it came out, especially with Meryl Streep dying her hair dark and all. I agree the book is better; ditto for About A Boy (Did you read his other book, How to be Good?) Twenty years later I had forgotten that she was a cookbood writer, though. And I just can't imagine taking a pan of hot pasta to bed; I mean, wouldn't the pan be hot? Some foods can be eaten in bed, like scrambled eggs, popcorn, and certain sandwiches, but a pan of hot pasta - never!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1160068942729144982006-10-05T19:22:00.000+02:002006-10-05T19:22:00.000+02:00OH, and forgot to say, I adore your drawing with t...OH, and forgot to say, I adore your drawing with this post.

I'd recently been thinking about trying both; I guess the release of Ephron's new book and a recent New Yorker article reminded me of her and got me asking myself why I hadn't. I've read such pans of the movie in the past that I was afraid to see it. I'm glad to hear you say it was at least OK.<BR/><BR/>Your line about the mess in bed had me cracking up. I'm always (half) jokingly pointing out to my husband the difference, after a meal, between my pristine placemat and his totally messed-up one.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970997615781244805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1159820994879763592006-10-02T22:29:00.000+02:002006-10-02T22:29:00.000+02:00I loved Hurtburn, but as a carbonara lover I have ...I loved Hurtburn, but as a carbonara lover I have to say that I envy the couple eating it in bed in the middle of the night but I know that some of you think it's disgusting...<BR/>It's the risky business of getting to bed with Jack Nicholson!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1159814932535109962006-10-02T20:48:00.000+02:002006-10-02T20:48:00.000+02:00ooooooh. what a greeeeeat idea! adding the vermout...ooooooh. what a greeeeeat idea! adding the vermouth to the bacon.... two of my favorite things in the whole world<BR/>this i must try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1159801780642599562006-10-02T17:09:00.000+02:002006-10-02T17:09:00.000+02:00I haven't read that book in ages but I remember en...I haven't read that book in ages but I remember enjoying it; Nora Ephron is a funny writer.

I appreciated the carbonara scene, but I agree that pasta in bed makes me a little nervous too. I'm also not one to eat a large meal in the middle of the night unless it's after a long evening of drinking! I liked the movie, but I didn't know the character is a cookbook writer in the original book. Movies rarely do justice to the books, and, yes, Soapdish is an overlooked masterpiece!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307674052597624445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1159798219077849792006-10-02T16:10:00.000+02:002006-10-02T16:10:00.000+02:00carbonaras leave me feeling lethargic and tired, b...carbonaras leave me feeling lethargic and tired, but I could definetely do with a new read - must make a trip to Borders tomorrow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917748.post-1159796597539076922006-10-02T15:43:00.000+02:002006-10-02T15:43:00.000+02:00I am always looking for new good reads, I will hav...I am always looking for new good reads, I will have to find it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
