I’m so excited to be hosting this month’s edition of Food ‘n Flix! This month I’m challenging you to watch The Terminal, and then head into the kitchen to make a dish inspired by the film.
If you have not seen this movie before you will be in for a treat, and if you have I am sure you will enjoy watching it again. This is the story of Viktor who tries to get into the US at JFK airport. The only problem is that before he clears customs with his visa, he finds out his home country has gone to war and Viktor has no citizenship of any kind. Given a pager and some food vouchers, he is told to remain in the terminal until further notice.
How long will he remain there and what will happen to Viktor? Watch the movie to find out.
Anybody with a blog is welcome to participate so I hope many of you will decide to join me for this fun event. How can one refuse an invitation to dinner and a movie?
