The Accidental Tourist


September 30, 2009 we watched The Accidental Tourist (1989) and made Maryland Crab Soup.

Macon Leary (William Hurt) and his wife (Kathleen Turner) are struggling with the loss of their child. Macon is a travel book writer with an emphasis on traveling with the least amount of effort, much the way he conducts his life after losing his son. When he and his wife separate, he meets the quirky Muriel (Geena Davis) who awakens him again. This sad little movie was oddly entertaining. Kudos to Geena Davis who won best supporting actress Oscar for her performance.

This was one JUMBO pot of soup. I bet the crab we purchased at the Reading Terminal Market was yummy, but i couldn't taste it over the tomato flavor of the rest of the soup. I am hoping when i take the last batch out of the freezer that it will taste better the second time around.

In attendance: barb and lindsey
ratings: to come.
