SLUMBERLAND
RELEASE DATE: November 18
SYNOPSIS: Slumberland takes audiences to a magical new place, a dreamworld where precocious Nemo (Marlow Barkley) and her eccentric companion Flip (Jason Momoa) embark on the adventure of a lifetime. After her father Peter (Kyle Chandler) is unexpectedly lost at sea, young Nemo’s idyllic Pacific Northwest existence is completely upended when she is sent to live in the city with her well-meaning but deeply awkward uncle Phillip (Chris O’Dowd). Her new school and new routine are challenging by day but at night, a secret map to the fantastical world of Slumberland connects Nemo to Flip, a rough-around-the-edges but lovable outlaw who quickly becomes her partner and guide. She and Flip soon find themselves on an incredible journey traversing dreams and fleeing nightmares, where Nemo begins to hope that she will be reunited with her father once again.
Slumberland is directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire & Mockingjay), written by David Guion and Michael Handelman (Night at the Museum; Secret of the Tomb) and produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, David Ready and Francis Lawrence. The film also stars Weruche Opia, India De Beaufort, and Humberly Gonzalez.
Baked Goods Using Kernza
One of our favorite bakers is creating new items in the kitchen. Michele from DoughP Creations is now creating goodies using Kernza.
She is working with Carmen Fernholz, the first to grow Kernza in MN, and has also partnered with the U of MN for various testing of the product.
Kernza® grain is harvested from intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium). This (cousin) of annual wheat has been grown throughout the USA to provide fodder for livestock. Now intermediate wheatgrass is being domesticated as a grain for human food.
Intermediate wheatgrass can be grown as a “multi-functional” crop, yielding various commodities as well as ecosystem services.
Kernza was in the sourdough wheat bread and the maple bars we tried from her and we loved it. The maple bars were our favorite.
Kernza products are available on her site
