The Film: The Bucket List has become a bit of a cult classic. The expression is so common and concept so powerful of what would you do if you knew you only had 6 months to live. Main characters played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are dying of cancer, a disease which inevitablely seems to touch someone in our lives. Thus empathy for the characters is easy to find plus the outstanding actor of these first rate actors only magnifies the depth of connection to them. The movie also gives the audience the opportunity to vicariously travel the world with these two characters. A good portion of the film takes place in hospital rooms; however, the story is not boring or stagnant.
The Food: Egypt is one stop around the world so prepare the national dish of Egypt, Kushari. Coffee is constantly a discussion piece in this film so grab your favorite or maybe Chock Full of Nuts, you'll understand when you see the film. Pair the coffe with any number of dessert recipes or bakery listing here on the website.
My other suggestion is if you've been holding back on buying your favorite ingredient or trying a particular dish. Take this time to enjoy a bucket list meal.
