Tuesday, December 9, 2008 we watched My Cousin Vinny (1992) and had Saucy Shrimp and Grits.Lippy New York City lawyer Vinny Gambini (Joe Pesci) motors to a Podunk Alabama town with his brassy, leather-clad girlfriend (Marisa Tomei, in an Oscar-winning performance) to clear his cousin Bill and Bill's pal Stan after they're falsely accused of bumping off a convenience-store clerk. Unfortunately, Vinny passed the bar exam just weeks earlier -- after six attempts -- and has yet to try a case. Things look bleak for Bill and Stan. …
We had to have grits as part of our meal and they were delicious as the base in a southern-style dinner with shrimp and tomatoes. Mmm! And the movie was just great--one even I couldn't believe I'd never seen before!
