I didn’t get to see “Monsieur Ibrahim” yesterday because my friend had to bail on me. But last night the Sundance channel was running “Mostly Martha,” which was on my list to see. I enjoyed it very much – food and love, love and food. My kinda movie. (My kinda life. Damn, I need to marry an Italian!)

It was interesting also to see how sometimes family finds you. Martha, an elite chef, has everything tightly under wraps when two things happen to change everything: her sister dies and she suddenly has to care for her young niece and the restaurant owner adds a boisterous Italian chef to the kitchen. I suppose it’s a bit predictable what will happen, but I still found the way Martha slowly softens and lets these two into her life heartwarming.
