It’s been a long time since I’ve done Dinner and A Movie Monday. My sister and I still watch movies together, and we still find some unexpected gems. So I decided to start sharing them again. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a 2018 film based on the novel of the same name. Set in 1946, the plot follows a London-based writer who has a perfect life. She’s successful and has a rich and handsome American fiance. She begins exchanging letters with Dawsey Addams, a resident of Guernsey Island.
She finds herself fascinated by Dawsey’s stories about how the people on the island survived German occupation during the war and decides to travel there, where she falls in love with the island, its inhabitants, and its story.
I loved it. It’s an old-fashioned tearjerker, nostalgic and romantic. The scenery will take your breath away and the music is lovely. If that’s what you’re in the mood for, it should fit the bill.

Pretty awesome you decided to cook a pork meal in correlation with the movie. Seen it too and really loved the pork scene. Gosh I want to cook that too. What part of pork did you use?

Thanks so much for the like and the comment. I plan to do more posts like this after the first of the year. For this, I used a pork roast, but you could use pork loin instead. Just depends on how lean you prefer your the pork. I stumbled across the movie and really enjoyed it. Glad you did as well
