Wednesday, February 5, 2009 our movie was What's Eating Gilbert Grape? (1993) and we ate Grape & Chicken Salad Sandwiches.Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) lives in a backwater Iowa town and is "man of the house" to his mentally challenged brother, Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio, who's never been better), a couple of sisters and his dangerously overweight mother. Despite all the crushing responsibility, Gilbert perseveres. But will he ever be able to live his own life?
The chicken salad was traditional, and the toasted walnuts really added a nice tasty crunch. It would have been better in a pita pocket than on the pumpernickel loaf I chose since all the bits fell out. Spiced sweet potato chips were served on the side. Yum!
