Announcing Food 'n Flix: Under the Tuscan Sun

I am super excited to be hosting Food 'n Flix this month right here at girlichef!  I've decided to send it on the road and make it a traveling event.  Thanks to everybody who has volunteered to host a month so far...so many great films coming up. 

My choice for this month's flick is Under the Tuscan Sun.  Based on the the true story of Frances Mayes...and the dream-world story of yours truly.  This is one of my favorite foodie-travel-dreamer-chic flicks of all time.  Each time I watch this movie (or read the book...but we're only talking about the movie right now), I want to hop the first flight to Italy.  I want to find a villa in Tuscany that is neglected and in need of love.  I want to pick olives from trees on my own land and and meet handsome Italians and cook food to share with my new friends and linger the rest of my days away in the gorgeous Tuscan country side.  I better clarify that I only want to meet handsome Italians to introduce to my single friends and family.  Of course I plan on bringing Mexi and the kids with me.

Are you in the mood for a Tuscan Adventure?  Simply watch your copy, your neighbors copy, a copy from the library...whatever!...of Under the Tuscan Sun.  Then head into the kitchen and get cooking.  Full details below.
