I totally see the appeal of fresh veggies at a farmers’ market for foodies. You can go in there and pick up whatever you find, and then decide what to make for dinner.

I however need a plan, and a recipe as a backbone, I’m not good at taking something and just creating on the fly, but with the determination to be flexible I headed to the farmers’ market that is set up one day a week in our neighborhood. But by the time I got their last week, the pickings were pretty slim 🙁

I was recently introduced to a shopping site called OASAP.com. To say when I had a chance to pick a couple of things out to review that I spent hours looking, would probably be an understatement.

The Lorax was a book I remember reading as a child. When I heard that the creators of ‘Despicable Me’ (one of the best doggone animated movies. ever.) were making a movie based on the book, I was well…giddy. On Sunday evening, we got to curl up in our family room, pop the 3D DVD into our player, and see this movie for ourselves. It was charming. If you haven’t already seen it, well I so totally recommend it. Read what Amber, my 16 year old daughter, had to say about the movie below.
