Drive In Pilgrimage

 So we made our first pilgrimage to the Valle Drive In in Newton Iowa Saturday Night. Double feature as always, The Amazing Spiderman 2 and The Monuments men.

We drove througha little rain to get over to Newton, but it turned out to be a perfect clear, cool night.

 We paid our $7.50 each and found our favorite spot west of the concession stand.  We had stopped at the Hy Vee in newton and picked up a bucket of chicken and some beverages so we picnicked before the show started.

The amazing Spiderman 2 was not a great movie. The casting was good, the acting was good, but the story was just too long and convoluted. Too many characters that we really didn't need to see . It could have been 40 minutes shorter in my opinion. The beginning scenario could have been shorter and we didn't need to see that again at the end. (I'm avoiding a spoiler here!)
Now the Monuments Men! Loved it! What a great story! What a great cast of actors! This movie could have used a few more minutes to expand each character, but still a great movie.

Who?

So I guess I just don't get out much or something. A little while back I noticed that Hy Vee had this foreign guy selling food for them.  That woud be "hwhy vee" according to this guy.So I went o the authority on all that I don't know and Google told me that Chef Curtis Stone is pretty famous, and a celebrity because he cooked on the Biggest Loser television show and also was on Celebrity Apprentice and Some cooking show on Bravo TV.

Well Good for you Curtis. 

Wonder if the Hy Vee Guys are planning to raise prices even more to pay for Curtis and his Australian accent saying "toe-mah-toe"?

I think I'd rather have an Iowa farm wife say tomato and keep me in the reality of now instead of the TV reality.
