Welcome to another installment of Movies, Movies, Movies! We’ve come to the last installment of the series for the year. Next week I will be posting a list of my favorite films made in 2020 or 2021 that I’ve seen. I am including the tail end of 2020 because some weren’t available to borrow from library at the end of last year. I’ll do the same next year.

Tomorrow (December 16) is Chocolate Covered Anything Day. I’m celebrating with a super simple and healthy snack!
These are cute little peanut butter and banana sandwiches that are dipped in chocolate. You can dip the whole thing in chocolate but I liked the look of having it half/half.
I don’t even know if I can call this a recipe because it is so simple to make. It’s just a couple slices of banana with some peanut butter in between then dipped in melted chocolate. I used semi-sweet chocolate but you could use milk chocolate instead. I also added a little coconut oil to the chocolate to give it extra shine and crunch when you bite into it.
Biting into one of these is such a good experience. You should definitely let it sit out for a few minutes before digging in because the banana will be very frozen. But once…
Hendley’s text does an excellent job of not only outlining Smith’s case, trial, and the aftereffects of both, but also does a great job of giving his reader a sense of what life was like in 1960s Toronto. At the beginning of his text, he outlines what life was like in Canada both socially and politically. I really…

Cleveland at Pittsburgh
The Browns showed some fight against the Packers in week 16, but the Steelers? Not so much against Kansas City. This is the AFC North, however. Trends go from week to week.
I have been a Dylan admirer for about as long as I can remember, probably for just a little less time than I’ve been following the Beatles. Somehow I managed to blow numerous opportunities to see him, especially one where he appeared with Van Morrison that I still kick myself about.
He continues to tour and I pretty much avoided going as I just hated his “smoker’ cough” voice and what I understood to be radical reinterpretations of his own catalog. What changed my mind recently was watching his streamed concert that I wrote abouta short while back. I came to like his new crooner voice and i thought the stream – which was effectively a long-form music video – was excellent.
So when I heard he was coming to town and I could get an orchestra seat (20 rows back) for about 100 bucks (88 Euros) I said…
