11.21.10 - Today I Made... time to watch the Movie, "Chocolat"

I am trying to be better at making time to just enjoy a good movie or read a good book and not feel guilty that I'm not necessarily accomplishing anything.  It was wonderful to just lose myself in the movie for two hours and then go and make a big mug of hot chocolate minus the chile pepper. 

Things I loved about the movie:

• Taking a musty, dirty dingy shop and turning it into a warm, inviting chocolate haven.
• How Vianne cares for complete strangers.
• The mini-tutorial on how to make chocolate candy.
• The preparation for the Chocolate Dinner Party.
• Judi Dench as Armande.  I love Judi Dench in anything.
• How Vianne shows great love and forgiveness to the towns people who have dismissed her.
• The kangaroo hopping away at the end of the movie.

Take time to watch it and make up your own list of things you love.

P.S.:  You really should NOT feed chocolate to dogs.  Not good for them.
