Tonight for dinner we are having kielbasa medallions with mashed potatoes (instant, April, don't look at me like that) and green beans. I am the chef tonight and have everything prepared and ready to be reheated for dinner now that my missus is home.
I left work early today, around 4pm, because I had to stop by the bank and run some errands before coming home. Lately, I have been staying until 5pm or later.
My missus and I have started watching Chesapeake Shores. We just finished watching the Pilot episode. We've decided to add it to our queue as our Tuesday night TV show. We had to come to an agreement to stop pointing out to each other all the ways you could tell the show is filmed in Vancouver, BC instead of on the actual Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
Are there movies or TV shows you watch for which you have to refrain from pointing out the things that are "wrong"" with it?

Too bad they are filming there. It is much cheaper in Canada. I was glad to see a series, purportedly set in Portland, filmed in BC, die after one season. It cut many Portland actors out of work.
Dinner sounds great!

I find some good and some bad movies. I don´t stay enough at bad movies to watch if there are wrong things with them.

@Tina30219 As a writer of coming-of-age romantic stories, I feel it a professional obligation to watch the Hallmark chick flicks and others like them.

You mean to tell me they have other kinds of mashed potatoes that aren't instant! Mind blown!

Rumor has it that some people actually buy raw potatoes dug right out of the earth, wash them, peel them, boil them for hours (okay, maybe not hours) and then smash them with this odd looking device, often adding butter or milk, or both, to make them easier to smash, until they have a pile of what look like the same mashed potatoes you can prepare in a microwave in just minutes.

@moffittjc I agree. If the Lord had meant for us to go to all that trouble to make mashed potatoes he would never have inspired someone to invent Hungry Jack.

@DWDavis What???? That is completely silly. Why would someone do all that work when they can just prepare instant mashed potatoes in a matter of minutes? Those silly people. It's like they're living in the Stone Age or something. How barbaric!

I thought it was a big spud state, like Maine.

That's a Hallmark series and everything Hallmark is made in Canada.

Usually around Vancouver, but I have seen some from this summer's line up where they went on location to Fiji to film a couple of their summer movies.
It is just odd to me to see people who are supposed to be on the shores of Chesapeake Bay eating local crab munching on King Crab legs, and significant hills rising along the shore of Chesapeake Bay when everything around the Bay is pretty flat.

@DWDavis I saw the Fiji one "Pearl in Paradise." They did a summer series of movies filmed on exotic locations.
