(It's Italian...the name derives from the fact that the owner's last name means, roughly, "noodle pudding" in Italian). Our snow-bird friends are back: Barbara and Mark. Had shared a dinner with them in months as they were down south.

So we headed to the theater on Henry Street in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. We saw, and loved, a great French movie: The Strayed.
This film is set during World War II as the French nation was being invaded by the Nazi armies. It's a passionately anti-war film that portrays the depravity of war by focusing on a woman and her two young children fleeing Paris. Beautifully photographed. Woven into it are a few haunting clips from actual WWII footage. We all agreed that this was a very fine, must-see film.
The recently widowed Odile (Emmanuelle Beart) is a
