Ketching Up

Last night I wasn’t feeling up to playing tourist – not hungry enough to explore a restaurant, too tired to schmooze at the film fest….

…we wound up going to the Pacific Cinematheque, a cool art-house theater about a 10-minute walk from our hotel.

They were showing a recently restored print of “Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean” – a 1982 Robert Altman film, starring Cher, Sandy Dennis, Karen Black, and Kathy Bates

Abe did not have kind things to say about their bland popcorn, even after seasoning it with Spike + Brewer’s Yeast

I ate none; when we got out at 9pm I wanted to skip straight to dessert. Since Thierry was a little too packed and fancy for me, I went for the next best thing…

…international snacks!!!

There were many options at The Candy Aisle

Abe and I each bought a bar – Duncan’s Original Ginger + Wunderbar

The latter was FANTASTIC – like the lovechild of a Twix + Reese’s PB Cup!!! I liked my pick too, but wished there were spicy chunks inside, instead of a general ginger flavor

Also in my little picnic – an apple from the hotel gym and potato chips

But not just any chips…

KETCHUP ONES!!!!

I first discovered ketchup chips when I went to the Toronto Film Festival in 2004. Every time I return to Canada, I make sure to grab a bag. This was my first experience with them in Pringles form.

Don’t forget to fall back! Here’s a song by Goh to remind y’all about Daylight Savings – funny, it’s actually the tentative title of our sequel to Surrogate Valentine…

Speaking of which, the screening is tonight at 7:30pm! Any suggestions for a quick dinner near the theater?
