Having
enjoyed what I saw of Jacqueline Obradors in Six Days, Seven Nights (and I saw a lot of her), I decided to
follow her to my latest Golden Oldie, Tortilla
Soup, which I recall liking a lot many years ago. I was not disappointed; this is a darned good
movie. The lead participant is an aging
Mexican Chef, played beautifully by Hector Elizando, whom I shall duly follow someday
soon to a movie you all know, Pretty
Woman.
Anyway, Tortilla Soup involves the travails of
three nice young women wrestling with
love, life, and a difficult father.
There are many scenes depicting the preparation of Mexican food, which
reminds us that Mexican is regarded as one of the world’s great cuisines
(French, Turkish and Chinese being the others).
We are not talking tacos and frijoles here!
And Ms.
Obradors is fine, even with all her clothes in place.
So, see this
movie, after going to Chihuahua’s in
Ferndale, WA, for a great meal. Their Cadillac
margaritas are superb! B
