The weather has been up-and-down this week. Several nights of freezing temps in the upper twenties and then 78 F on Thursday afternoon. For the freezing nights I brought in as many plants as I could, thus littering our living room with leaves everywhere. At least it motivated me to sweep up once they were all taken back outside.
The round up for the week is slim but here goes.........
Watching / Unforgotten is a British program on PBS Mystery Theater. This is a police procedural starring Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhasker as lead detectives. They are trying to solve cold cases and I think the cast and the twisty mysteries were very well done. I hope I can borrow a few more seasons from our library's inter-library loan program as they only own season one.
I can get movies to watch from my library system using the Hoopla App. on TV.
ReplyDeleteDoes your library have that?
Vicki, Our library system has a similar app called Kanopy. there are over 60,000 tv programs/movies availble but we can't stream. I wish we could! For us it's strictly DVDs we own or those we borrow. Thanks for the suggestion though!!
DeleteThe season for staying inside and watching old TV series is really upon us, isn't it! Did you ever describe Mojo Chicken? Interesting name.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, mojo is a Cuban marinade made with garlic, oranges, olive oil and herbs. It's mild, not spicy.
DeleteI have British binges too - I recommend Vera, Young Endeavour and Grantchester
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae, I have read all the Vera books so I do want to try the tv series. Thanks for the recommendations!
DeleteI've been wanting to watch Unforgotten. I've seen it available but not watched it yet.
ReplyDeleteAnne Kristy, I sure wish our libray had seasons 2 through 4! I enjoyed the detective work and setting.
DeleteWe absolutely loved Unforgotten! We went on a British crime binge early in the pandemic and that was one of our favorites. If you haven't watched Mrs. Wilson I really recommend it. It's based on a true story (don't Google it before you watch it) and it's crazy. I had a Mojo chicken recipe that was one of Jason's favorites that I haven't made in ages. I'll have to go find the recipe!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I did see Mrs Wilson a few yaesr ago and it was vey cool how everything came together. You are correct, you can't google it!
DeleteFor the Mojo I have used the Badia brand and it's very good.
I have the Horowitz book on my TBR and am eager to see what you think about it. Have a great week. Thanks for the visit.

Terrie, I am enjoying Moonflower Murders too. Magpie Murder was great.
DeleteI have the Horowitz murder mystery books. Didn't realize they had been made into films. Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I don't know if the second book is airing on PBS yet or it's still in production. The book is good so far.
DeleteEnjoy those British films based on the books!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is crazy about mysteries. I'm not sure whether he has seen Unforgotten, but I'll mention it to him. My daughter-in-law loves cold cases, so I'll see if they've seen Unforgotten, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, and your reading is mysteries from the UK, too. Perfect for this sort of weather! Enjoy!
Deb, it's raining hard and I imagine today will be a readiing and crochet day. maybe I'll start a puzzle too - go crazy here!
DeleteI really liked Unforgotten. I hope you can find the rest of the shows.
ReplyDeleteJoy, I just found out this morning I could get season two of Unforgotten, excited!
DeleteWe have Magpie and Moonflower Murders on our list to watch! I should probably read the books. We are all about the mysteries over here. :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteErin, I read Magpie in 2017 so there were quite a few surprises for me when we watched. Reading Moonflower now though. Thanks for the suggestion for Grantchester!
DeleteI loved Magpie Murders and still need to read Moonflower Murders as well. I didn't know it's going to be another adaptation! Whoo hoo! Will have to read it before that happens then.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading!

Elza, the tv series was great!
DeleteLove the tv series as well. This is the first time to your blog and I'm loving the dog at the top. see you at Sunday post @theglobaldig.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteTrin, thanks so much! The dog Aja, she is a shiba inu. Sadly she died 2 years ago but she was the love of our life.
DeleteI think the weather has been crazy everywhere. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCindy, it has been crazy. My son is in Omaha and he's counting the days until he moves back to Florida!
DeleteOh, how we loved Unforgotten. I will watch anything with Nicola Walker! We're currently watching Magpie Murders, which is so clever and fun. Yes, I read the book, but I sure don't remember whodunnit! I'm sure we'll watch Moonflower Murders, so maybe I'll skip the book since I have so many others calling to me. Oh, and we've also gotten into The Brokenwood Mysteries.
ReplyDeleteLes, thanks so much for the suggestions for the crime series. I get lots of good ideas from your site. Right now I have Unforgotten season two and Endevour season one on hold at the library. I agree, Nicola Walker is a good actress.
DeleteI love Brit shows. And 78... that sounds pretty good! It's been so cold here. Love your menu ideas too.
ReplyDeleteGreg, I do remember Michigan winters! It'd a beautiful state and if you didn't get so much cold weather we would have considered it for retirement. Staying here ethough :-)
DeleteI jumped over to that pasta recipe and it sounds GOOD. Bookmarked it. I love mushrooms, any way except raw.
ReplyDeleteJinjer, we'd get along just fine as Doug and I are both mushroom lovers!
