Wednesday, January 7, 2009 we watched Witness (1985) and had a traditional PA Dutch New Years Dinner of pork and sauerkraut to kick off '09.Witness, director Peter Weir's tense thriller, features cop John Book (Harrison Ford) undercover in an Amish community to protect a boy who witnessed a murder. Once inside, the faux-Amish Book must adjust to major culture shock while cautiously romancing the child's mother (Kelly McGillis). Suspense and romance intermingle memorably in William Kelly's airtight script, a frequent model for budding screenwriters.
For dinner, the Crock Pot did the cooking: one pork shoulder roast and two bags of sauerkraut plus some fresh ground pepper on low for 10 hours. We concocted some smashed potatoes and served with applesauce to round out the meal. YUM!
In attendance: Katie, Lindsey, Eric, Barb
