My Weekend Recount: More Soul Food!

This Friday, my sole mission was to finally watch John Cater. I rented it from RedBox and settled in to watch it. Boooorrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg. I kept waiting for it to get interesting.

The other reason, however, is that I suck at these things. I'm great with writing about the food, but I don't think I'm so great at providing you with a recipe and step-by-step instructions on how to do the do.
