Amélie was one of my favorite movies for a long time, but I’d kind of tucked it away over the last 5 or 6 years, so I loved having a reason to dust it off and watch it again. I don’t think I remembered just how big a part food played before rewatching this month (I must have subconsciously though, right!?).
Oh, and I feel like I’ve won an award – thank you so much for the Tasty Time mention! 🙂
