Morning Mix Show Notes 4/5

Reward yourself! It's Gourmet Guess Day! Plus, strange addictions and what's new on DVD. 

Your Gourmet Guess Clue for today: This is made from coagulating soy milk into soft white blocks. It has very little smell or taste of its own so you can flavor it to suit whatever dish you're making. Vegetarians use it as a substitute for meat. (Scroll down for the correct answer.)

There are a lot of things that people are addicted to: Alcohol, cigarettes, shopping, food, gambling and the like. Those are perfectly normal addictions that we hear about all the time and there are programs and support groups to help people overcome those addictions, but there's a new show on Discovery Home and Health called My Strange Addiction that follows individuals who suffer from pica. It's a condition where people are compelled to eat "non-nutritive substances". For instance, there's a woman in Florida who eats couch cushions. She started when she was ten  and she is now 30 years old and has consumed an estimated eight couches and five chairs. So, we wanted to know, what's eating you? Do you have any strange addictions?

New on DVD today: Tron: Legacy. This sequel stars Jeff Bridges who is trying to fight his way back into the real world with the help of a computer program, Tron. Our Movie Maven Ileana says the acting is iffy, but the visual effects are great. She calls this one a rent.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This is the third installment in the Narnia movies. Liam Neeson is once again the voice of Aslan and Tilda Swinton returns as the White Witch. Ileana says this is a bit darker than the first two, but still good. This one is a buy.

Little Fockers. This is also film number three in the Focker Franchise. Ben Stiller and Robert de Niro are back, but this one throws Jessica Alba into the mix as a pharmaceutical rep working with Stiller's character Greg. de Niro's Jack gets suspicious of Greg. Hilarity ensues. Illi didn't care for it, so this one is a rent.

Ileana's C.L.I.P. of the Week this week is I Love You, Philip Morris. This stars Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as two men who meet and fall in love in prison. It's a dark comedy and it's based on a true story. It's weird, but it's a buy.
