Three sentence movie reviews: Hello My Name is Doris

This movie is worth watching just for Doris’ outfits, which are varied and layered and incredibly fun.*  Overall, I was charmed by this tale of a woman getting out of her decades-old rut, and the movie was calibrated to have all the feelings.  I did wonder if perhaps it would have been a different movie if this woman’s story had been told via a woman writer or director, but the movie making establishment is what it is.

Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home

*Though the poster does not depict this, she also matches her mugs to her outfit.

The day of two cakes: Vintage Cakes Rhubarb Pudding Cake, plus Cheesecake

I wormed my way into a Hootenanny, and paid my dues with this Rhubarb Pudding Cake which did not have any chocolate in it, but was very good, especially with ice cream.

Also going on this weekend was Aunt Pat’s birthday celebration. She requested cheesecake, and I provided.  Mom brought the strawberry topping, which is why it looks a little naked.
