I watched a movie the other day and I just can't stop thinking about it. NO! It's not ThanksKilling about the killer turkey possessed by an evil Indian spirit. Ha. That movie was pretty damn funny though.
It's The Princess and the Frog. With a beautiful New Orleans back-drop, The Princess and the Frog really takes you there. The film references just about every classic dish you'll find in cajun cuisine. Seriously, my mouth was watering. Tiana's dream is to open her own restaurant with her daddy's "old gumbo pot" which is given to her as a gift from her mother. She works day in and day out at small-time jobs to achieve her dream. A nice lesson of setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Something that sometimes seems lost these days.
You'll also meet a big-hearted (big butted) alligator with a passion for playing jazz music. A seemingly feeble-minded firefly in love with the brightest star in the sky, whom he calls Evangeline. And, Mama Odie, the voodoo queen of the swamp!
I don't want to ruin the movie for you because it's a must-see. It made my heart warm and fuzzy and is still on my mind two days later.
