Driven

I've been a fan of Korean actor Park So-dam for a while now, so when I got the chance to watch her latest action thriller movie Special Delivery I didn't hesitate. So-dam plays a North Korean defector turned special driver who takes on risky clients and delivers them no matter what to their destination, using only her insanely amazing talent at driving cars. She also takes care not to get involved with any of them, at least until the young son of a runaway gambler asks for her help. Meanwhile, a corrupt and seriously sadistic police captain (masterfully played by Song Sae-byeok) murders the gambler and comes after his son.

This movie is pretty dark, very violent and packed with action driving scenes that I have to say are some of the best I've ever watched. So-dam was completely convincing in the role, and took time to really let down her defenses to get involved with her very young client, Seo-won (beautifully played by Jung Hyeon-jun). It was a tad too violent for me, but I can't deny I enjoyed the non-violent parts, and the action driving is stellar. Available on Viki.com.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
