And so it begins – the time of year when, at every opportunity, we find an excuse to eat something special and delicious, a time also known as “the holidays”. (If you’re really serious about this, you start at Halloween and extend it at least until Super Bowl Sunday, maybe Valentine’s Day!) Food is often a popular theme of many books and movies, from Julie and Julia<\/em><\/strong> to Like Water for Chocolate<\/strong><\/em>. This week our blogging librarians clue us into some of their favorites. Lexie gets us started with a movie that’s sure to become a classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not only are the holidays a great time for food, they’re also a great time for family togetherness.\u00a0 In that spirit, I\u00a0 highly recommend the Disney\/Pixar movie Ratatouille<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 It tells the story of a rat named Remy who loves food and coming up with new concoctions made from whatever he can find lying around.\u00a0 When he stumbles into his cooking idol’s restaurant, he strikes up an unusual friendship with the garbage boy, and together the two cook up amazing creations and bring the vitality back to the failing restaurant.<\/p>\n

I might be an adult, but Pixar can still do no wrong in my eyes.\u00a0 You definitely\u00a0don’t have to be a kid to enjoy this movie.\u00a0 It’s really an inspirational story about achieving your goals despite your shortcomings and the things that stand in your way.\u00a0 It’s got comedy, a little romance, and….well,\u00a0a rat cooking, which sounds gross but is done in such a cute way that I don’t mind.\u00a0 As long as it’s not happening in any restaurant I eat in, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
