Today we had a friend from the department over for brunch. It was simple but satisfying. Juan made a tortilla espanola, as only he knows how, and I made a Romesco sauce to go with it. We also had a lovely salad of mesclun with avocado and pomegranate seeds and homemade salad dressing, of the food course. Accompanying the food were mimosas (OJ and champagne). For dessert, fruit and yogurt parfaits. The first layer was vanilla yogurt, then a mix of strawberries and blueberries. I took half the strawberries and blended them in a small food processor, then mixed them with the whole berries and a little confectioners sugar. Layering the yogurt and fruit, I then topped the parfaits with granola I had made the night before.
Yesterday we saw Brokeback Mountain here at the Winona theater. It is an excellent, excellent movie.
I am currently enamored of the movie on PBS's Masterpiece Theater. They are showing Bleakhouse, a Charles Dickens Novel, over six weeks. (We're on week two at the moment). It has everything that makes a great Victorian novel- love, death, betrayal, all tied in with social criticism. Just one question: What does "keen as mustard" mean????
