      I understand. Wish you could join us, too, but it sounds like the Publishers are a demanding lot… 😉

        You missed a few adjectives before “Publishers.”

      Whoa, lady. You may have outdone yourself with these banners. And that is REALLY saying something.

    Hey Ruth. This is a fantastic blogathon idea. I’m a cooking addict, but for the life of me I can’t think of any classic movies about cooking or chefs apart from “Christmas In Connecticut” and “Mildred Pierce”. Would you be able to give me a list of suggestions? Thanks.

      Hey Crystal – sorry, we didn’t compile a list for this blogathon. It looks like most of the people who’ve signed up aren’t focusing on films about food, per se. They looking at food scenes in various films. Hope that helps!

        Hey Ruth. This isn’t a movie, but it deals with cooking. Would I be able to write about Audrey Hepburn’s cook book? I’ve made a few of the recipes in the book, and the Penne Alla Vodka is one of the best things I’ve tasted. Please, let me know if this subject is okay?

        Yup, that is A-OK. We’d prefer a film, but I’m intrigued by her cookbook. Looking forward to it. 🙂

        Thanks. I want to do a film too, but I have to think of some iconic food scenes. I thought of “Whatever Happened To Baby Jane”, but I don’t know whether that’s worthy. What do you think?

        I’m leaning towards that, but I know there are other films around.

    Hey, had an idea for a post but are you accepting entries on TV moments surrounding food – was thinking of Dallas, the Ewings family dinners and of course those barbecues.. would this apply for the blogathon?

      Sure, that will be OK. We would prefer film, but if you’d like to do TV that is fine.

    I postulated this blogathon idea to someone earlier this year. Now I can’t remember to whom or even what movie was on my mind at the time. I will enter this, but I’ve got to get back to you on a title (or two).

        I posted it to Kristina’s website earlier. I went in an oddball direction. I picked “Eating Raoul” and “Delicatessen”, two movies about a special kind of food… LOL
