Childhood Movie Pick #5: Titanic

By Allie Ferrara / New York City

Here's the poster I had in my room for four solid years

If you’re +/- 30 years old then you remember the heart crushing love you had for Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic.

It was certainly my favorite flick at ten years old. I even saved the water bottles I consumed at the theatre as some sort of nouveau homage to the Titanic itself; to be cherished and cataloged, uncovered one day to mark my eternal love for Leo.

Childhood Movie Pick #2: Jack

By Julie Davis / Boston

Jack is the best! Do you know who he is?

If you don’t you should def try and watch this super cute childhood favorite of mine. Featuring the funny and crazy Robin Williams as a young boy who is diagnosed with a disease where his body ages four times faster than a normal human being. He appears to be a 40-year-old man but really at heart is a carefree and loving ten year old that loves to play in empty boxes and wears power ranger pajamas.

Travel Section says “Hello!”

Summer is upon us (well those not in Boston because we just can’t seem to catch a break. April Showers bring May Flowers… blah blah blah. It seems more like freakin April downpours to me. It’s May this Sunday so I want to see some flowers.) which means half of our staff is graduating and almost every single one of us is going on a trip some where.

As an international bunch, we are more than happy to share our travel stories in “Travel Diaries” and a little bit about the town we have moved to in “My Town.”

Our group is about to shift a little with new writers coming in (they’ve been waiting to finish school first) and all but 3 of the Boston Branch moving far away from Boston (so sad).

Hope you enjoy our new section and possibly get some ideas for trips!

Bobotie is a traditional South African Dish. Initially the Cape Malay introduced it in South Africa, but that every generation changed and smoothed it out to what it is today.

Try it, it’s a real treat!

Easter Recipe #1: Maple Eggs

By Allie Ferrara / New York City

Photo Credit: Love At First Bite blog

I have great memories of Easter holidays past. Who doesn’t love an excuse to gorge on chocolate bunnies, wear pastels unashamedly for one day of the year and if you’re the church going type, don a Kentucky Derby-esque wide brim hat to services because it’s Easter and why the hell not.
