Wow, what an amazing mother's day feast! I'm very happy that you reviewed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I've heard great things about the movie and so have it saved on DVR. I haven't watched it yet due to my tendency to fall asleep when I desperately want to see something, lol. The fact that it's captioned means I really do need to be fully awake. Your review renews my desire to make time to watch it!
Thanks, Oct! :-)
The lunch was really excellent. This was a new restaurant and we were impressed. More importantly, it was a hit with our folks and the whole family.
I sure hope you enjoy Diving Bell. Have you ever seen Basquiat? That's another fantastic bio-pic from the same director. He's a talented hombre.
Wow! That looks like it was one wonderful feast :) So Harry, Are you Italian??
I am thinking about curing some of my own meats this winter.. so I can get some nitrate free ham products :)
That was a perfest LC Feast :)
I haven't, but looking at it just now it's going on my list of must-see-movies. David Bowie AND Benicio del Toro in a movie about Andy Warhol. Yeah, must see it!
LC,
Yes. Both of parents were born and raised in Italy. I was born here in the USA though.
I love naturally cured meats. That's a great idea - doing it yourself at home. I'll be keeping an eye out to see how you do it and what the results are like. You just may inspire me to be more adventurous in the kitchen! :-)
Thanks for setting a good example!
