"If Gordon Ramsey and Guy Fiery had a baby, then Chef Dean from this movie would be it. He's cocky, self-centered, and a hot head. The only thing missing is he doesn't yell." A Pinch of Portugal is a Hallmark movie set in......wait for it.......PORTUGAL! Didn't see that coming, did ya?

2023/04/05

You know what's the most insulting thing a person could do? Take a stunning picture of you, in a farmer's market, without your knowledge. It's the most insulting thing EVER and we will not tolerate such behavior. Just kidding, that's just the premise of this week's Hallmark movie, A Picture of Her! Shutterbot is someone's name, roses are a girl's favorite flowers, and shipping anything to a boat is annoying and/or impossible. Sophia and Emily spend time talking through
