The Sugarland Express




     I just love these classic movie posters found here and here and here


Sugarland Express was the first full feature film by Steven Spielberg and stars Goldie Hawn as Lou-Jean the not-so-dumb-as-she-seems-mother trying to reclaim her child after a short stint in jail. After busting her husband Clovis out of a pre-release prison center in Texas, the two embark on a wild car chase to Sugar Land to retrieve their child from foster parents. Interesting fact: the center that Lou-Jean busts Clovis out of is the actual center where the true events took place. This movie has got some great car chases, but also lot of moments where we asked ourselves, REALLY cops? You REALLY need this many cops to chase down these two people? REALLY? You cops can REALLY can just abandon your posts for the fun pursuit of these two? REALLY? The cops are really pushing their car which is out of gas to the gas station and then proceed with the chase after they fill up? Still, it was a fun flick and here are our ratings:



Movie Rating: 
Plot: 3 stars
Cinematography: 3 stars
Acting: 3 stars 
Average: 3 stars   


We just made up our own simple recipe for Huevos Rancheros:

4 Corn Tortillas, warmed
+
1/2 cup Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese, melted on the tortilla
+
1/2 can Refried Beans, warmed
+
4 Poached Eggs
+
1/2 cup Salsa



Next time i think I will layer this recipe with a tortilla on the bottom, topped with refried beans, topped with another tortilla, then the cheese, egg, and salsa. This would give it a more substantial base to cut into.

Here are some other fun twists on the classic:
The Budget Friendly Dinner
Eggs and Tortillas Marry
Mexican Breakfast Pizza

And for dessert: Sugar Cookies!
This from recipeMartha Stewart is simply the best!


Dinner Rating: 
Movie Relevance: 3.25 stars
Taste: 3.5 stars
Average: 3.375 stars
