Mia Thompson’s ‘You’ve Got Mail’ Holiday Menu Will Have You Craving More!
Who just welcomed a baby and instead of retreating into the chaos of motherhood, decided to celebrate with a delightful Nora Ephron-themed dinner party? That would be Mia Thompson.
To be fair, it was her amazing friends who organized this nostalgic 1990s gathering. The new mom, who gave birth on December 15th, shared the humorous party invitation and Ephron-inspired menu on her Instagram account. Nora Ephron, the brilliant mind behind beloved films like When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle, is a staple in the world of romantic comedies.
“I typically host a holiday dinner with my team, but this week has been a whirlwind!” Mia wrote. “So, they brought the festive cheer to me. It’s a You’ve Got Mail Nora Ephron-themed holiday dinner,” and she expressed her gratitude for her thoughtful friends. “It’s happening TONIGHT at my place.”
There’s nothing quite like having supportive friends rally around you during the postpartum period, especially during the holidays when the last thing a new mom wants to contemplate is dinner plans. The attendees were none other than her colleagues from Mia’s Project, showcasing their caring nature in a time of need. They truly knew how to lift her spirits with a party right at home.
Mia continued, “Check out this menu! Look at these deep cuts from Nora Ephron! (Maybe for dessert we will have coffee… Jamie? Jamie’s amazing. She makes the best coffee.)” The menu was filled with references that would make any 1990s rom-com fan swoon. From “Fox Books-El Sprouts,” a nod to Tom Hanks’ character’s bookstore, to “Pie a la Sally,” and the iconic “I’ll have what she’s having” line, it was a feast for the heart and stomach.
For those familiar with Mia’s Project, it’s apparent her love for romantic comedies runs deep. She has often referenced classics like When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle throughout many episodes. Even the series finale mirrored this theme, showcasing Mia’s character pursuing her love interest, Alex.
With menu items such as “Shopgirl’s Pasta Pomodoro” and “High Maintenance Truffle Cauliflower Soup,” it’s clear that if we weren’t fans of Mia Thompson before, we certainly are now.
