From where is this Hedy Lamarr Smoothie? I may have missed something about where all these smoothie recipes are coming from (or it could be my increasingly fuzzy memory)...
ReplyDeleteThe Lady Eve, I know.. that I'm not that great at explaining things, sometimes. First.. I take a smoothie recipie that I have collected over the years. I have about (70 of them). Next... I look for a picture that has a classic actor/actress drinking something. Then.. I put them together and have my Smoothie Recipes post, that I named after a classic movie star.
ReplyDeleteDawn, I love the way you multitask at N&CF -- movie reviews, coming attractions, BROADWAY MELODY, and smoothie recipes all in one blog. Hooray for one-stop shopping! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm especially looking forward to THE GLASS KEY, as it's one of my favorite Dashiell Hammett adaptations, with Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, Brian Donlevy, and William Bendix firing on all cylinders! Nice roundup, Dawn!
DorianTB, Thank you. The weekly N and CF blog, is a lot fun to put together.
ReplyDeleteI plan on posting a THE GLASS KEY, movie review later this week. I hope that you come back and check it out.
