Will and I had been intending on seeing the new Tom Cruise movie, Mission Impossible \u2014 Dead Reckoning<\/em> at our local small-town theater. But we got busy until yesterday, the day we thought was the last playing of the movie. So, we drove in before supper, where Will spotted the title of The Sound of Freedom<\/em> on the marquis. Oh, oh, we’d missed it! However, I had previously seen some very positive reviews of this movie, so we decided to stay. Holy cow, the movie was absolutely stunning. I shook for the first hour of the movie and I’ll swear I spotted tears in Will’s tough-guy eyes, next to me.<\/p>\n

Based on a true story, the film follows a federal agent (played by Jim Caviezel) who, after rescuing a boy from child traffickers, learns that his sister is still held captive. He decides he must save her, and quits his job to journey deep into the Colombian jungle, to save the girl from a fate worse than death. This movie will sure open your eyes as well as provide a couple hours of very intense entertainment. I very heartily recommend it!<\/p>\n

I cut our first Umpqua broccoli yesterday that I started from seed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Will and I got home, it was 8 p.m. and we hadn’t had supper yet. So, I quickly fried a couple of boneless pork chops, then chopped up some broccoli I had just harvested, dumped in a can and a half of cream of chicken soup and a half cup of grated cheddar cheese on top. It went in the oven at 350 degrees, with a cover on it. Meanwhile, I had a frying pan with some very tasty bacon grease in it from the night before’s BLTs that I couldn’t waste. I’d harvested a few of our first Costata Romanesco zucchini squash yesterday. I first sliced up a large onion and started that frying. Then I cut up the squash into fairly thin slices and added them, along with some seasonings. To hurry things up, I added a cup of water and put the lid on the pan. Periodically, I stirred up the squash\/onion mix and added a bit of water to keep it from sticking. Soon, dinner was served and we hungrily gobbled it down. Wow, that was sure a winner for a quick supper! I love our life.<\/p>\n

We really love our late supper with fried onions and squash as well as baked pork chops smothered in soup, broccoli, and cheese. Yum! Cost? 68 cents for the Aldi’s soup!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
