Friday's Last Spoonful: Food Surf

Kick back and veg-out on the fourth of July


Food Surfing will feature fun food tidbits from around the Blogosphere and Internet. These recommended films may give you other interesting ideas for making your life taste better.

The Help takes viewers back at life in the American South during the 1960s.  The civil rights movement was in full swing.  African – American women still sought employment as maids and cooks in well-to-do Caucasian homes.  Watch the tragedies and triumphs of typical American families in this award – winning film.

Remember Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July?  Tom Cruise gives one of his more riveting performances in this movie about the scourge and long-term effects of the Vietnam War on a generation of Americans.

Lastly, be thoroughly entertained by Independence Day with Will Smith.  Expect a quickly – paced plot that also includes an explosion or five.
