You Inspire Me: Anonymous

This weeks recommendations are from....Anonymous. I have absolutely no idea who this person is, but loved the recommendations so I just had to let them play along! If these are your recommendations please let me know!

This weeks movie recommendation is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. This movie is from 1954, so right away I knew I was in for a treat!

When the movie first started I really really liked it. Except I didn't know it was a musical! The first song was super catchy, so I was excited that it was going to be a good movie. But soon the movie had a whole lot of dancing and it got a little boring to me!

This musical movie is about a woodsman who takes a bride after only a few hours of knowing her (awkward!) He brings her home and she finds out that he is one of seven brothers. They are rude and backwards, she teaches them manners that they test out on 6 other girls.

And, well....I'm sure you can figure out the rest!

Decent movie. Is this on stage at all? I think I would like it more in that setting!

I've been trying to read all different kind of books...to get out of my comfort zone, but I always get excited when someone recommends a memoir type book. This week I read Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson.

Notes from a Small Island is a historical travel book. He gives background on all the places he visits. And as a history major who has been to England...I really thought I was going to like this book! I just couldn't get into the writing style. I tried really hard to get through the whole book (I started it twice...and still didn't like it!)

I really can't give the book a real review because I wasn't able to get through a lot of it. I always hate when I don't like books that people recommend...I feel so bad!

This week I was cooking Indian food! Anonymous actually recommended take-out Indian, but I recently found the McCormik Inspiration spices for chicken tikka masala. I've had it before in restaurants...but the homemade version was so much better! All I was missing was the naan. So yummy!


Thanks for the recommendations! And please, come out of the dark and let me know who you are! And thanks for making me eat my favorite Indian food...I'm going to start making it more often!
