The PERFECT Bacon Sarnie

April 14, 2021 by Grace Leave a Comment

Behind Her Eyes Bacon Sarnie Scene

We recently watched the Netflix series called “Behind Her Eyes” which is set in England. This is a psychological drama involving a married couple Adele and David and a single mother Louise who enters their lives. It’s a 6 part series based on the novel by Sarah Pinborough. Although not for everyone (there are disturbing scenes and quite a lot of adult content), it is intriguing and the ending is quite shocking!

As for me, I am always looking out for food in the programs that I watch. In Episode 1, there is a scene in which Louise eats a Bacon Sarnie. She eats this on her first day of her new job when wearing a lovely white blouse. Unfortunately a huge blob of ketchup from the Bacon Sarnie ends up on her blouse and she ends up in a bit of a panic. 😕

By the way, Louise’s colleague who gave her the Bacon Sarnie states: “Bacon Sarnie what is better? Nothing…3 rashers of smoked best back is the highlight of my week.”

Netflix Night! Behind Her Eyes

We have been watching the Netflix series called “Behind Her Eyes” which is based on the psychological thriller novel of the same name by Sarah Pinborough. The series is set in England, a beautiful country that I had the privilege of living in for 7 years.

I love to cook a meal on movie/Netflix nights that has something to do with the film or program we are watching. Usually either the setting, or food actually eaten or highlighted in the film or program can inspire the meal.

Beans on Toast makes an appearance in the first couple of episodes of Behind Her Eyes, so was totally inspired to make this delicious British dish!

I don’t remember eating Beans on Toast very often when I was in England! But I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this simple, easy, and delicious meal and I KNOW YOU WILL TOO!

Movie Night – Gregory’s Girl

Recently we selected for our Sunday movie night the Scottish coming of age film called “Gregory’s Girl.” It’s about Gregory, a super geeky teenager who falls head over heels for Dorothy. Dorothy’s skills as a footballer (soccer, to us Americans) lands her a place on the school football team, actually taking Gregory’s place. You’ll have to watch it to find out what happens next. 🙂 It’s a super cute film and really funny!

On movie nights I’ll cook a meal that has something to do with the film we are watching. The inspiration for the meal could be something eaten in the film, or perhaps the setting. This time it was the beautiful country of Scotland (the setting) which inspired the meal. This is how I discovered the delicious Scottish dish called Mince and Tatties!

Movie Night – “The Rules of the Game“

On movie nights, I cook a meal to accompany the film we are going to watch. The meal I choose is somehow inspired by the film. The inspiration could be something actually eaten in the film, or the setting.

We watched the 1939 classic French film called “The Rules of the Game” on a recent movie night. Jean Renoir directed this film, and it is considered by many authorities on motion pictures to be one of the greatest films in cinema history.

I loooove pasta. Hopefully you love pasta too. 🙂 I’m not averse to using ready made pasta sauces. In fact, I use them quite often. However, when you have an easy recipe at your disposal to help you create a dish worthy of a fine Italian restaurant, then there’s no reason not to make your own sauce! I’m stepping out boldly to say, that this is one of those recipes. 🙂

I’m soooo excited. At the time I write this, Thanksgiving is a couple of months away. My thoughts are already turning to what dishes I might be able to bring to the gathering at my sister’s home. The staple green bean dish for Thanksgiving is the very well known green bean casserole. I have nothing against green bean casserole. However I love to try new foods and I’m determined to bring lobio satsivi to Thanksgiving this year as a new side dish for friends and family to try.

Lobio satsivi??
