My friends and I watched the movie last night… It was wonderful. There are so many things that one can focus on after reading the book or watching the movie. We are choosing to focus on the food. The Book Club Kit is wonderful… but I would like to see more recipes come forward…REAL Southern Fried Chicken Recipes (JUST like Minny would have made), beans, corn bread… so that we can have help, bringing The Help home for a wonderful day!
