Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a not-very convincing professional chef who is married to her work, and has no life outside of running a gourmet kitchen in the movie No Reservations. There's a surprising and also rather unrealistic, depressing beginning, that changes her life drastically. Then along comes a new, also not-so-believable sous chef (Aaron Eckhart) into her world, and they butt heads a bit, then work things out. I won't share the whole story if you plan to see it. It's a little cheesy, and I don't really mean to make it sound so unappealing, because I still enjoyed it. Mainly because I love all the fancy food talk in it. Cat-Z-J is way too skinny to be a top chef, and extremely beautiful, so to get me to buy into her "poor me" role, it didn't quite work. Maybe because I was jealous of her. Even after all this negativity, I liked the movie and think it was worth my time. It was light and entertaining, and a decent movie. I give it a 3.5 on a scale of 1 to 5.

We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots. It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio. We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces. More photos of the family. The family, strolling along th...
