What in your opinion are the best film adaptations of Shakespeare?
  • My favorite Shakespeare is Othello and there are some good ones, the Lawrence Fishburn from the 90s is decent, and there is an Olivier floating around that is excellent. But, try the Zeffirelli version of Verdi's opera Otello for my all time favorite Iago.

    Titus (1999), Julie Taymore directs, Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange, DEFINITELY NOT A COMEDY https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120866/?ref_=ext_shr

    Macbeth (1971). No matter how you feel about Polanski as an (alledged) human, it's quite a film https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067372/?ref_=ext_shr. There is also a Michael Fassbinder Marrion Cottiard from 2015 that I havent seen, but am curious about.

    Kenneth Branaugh did a bunch of Shakespeare in the 90's which were mostly pretty good.

    If anyone can suggest a good film version of The Tempest I'd love to know about it.

    Boy did we have a rough few weeks
  • We had a floof calleded Miez (real name Mistral, but mostly called Miez, Mausli, or Moose) when we lived in Switzerland.

    I hope your Miez feels better, I like to think they are cousins.

    Farinata, Socca, or about a dozen other names for Chick Pea flour pancake

    Recipe: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe . It cooks a bit like a Dutch baby, but you have to soak the flour longer and it doesn't puff up.

    Left is with onions and herb de province, right is artichokes and dill, both were tasty.

    Vegetables with tofu and pumpkin curry sauce - weeknight dinner.

    (optional)Toss tofu cubes in corn starch and spices, fry, set aside.

    In a large pan, Stir fry vegetables (carrots, onions, bell pepper, bamboo shoots, zucchini, chili to taste,) and some green (or red or something else, I'm not the boss of you) curry paste until they get a little wok hay.

    Add some water and soy sauce to deglaze, then add one can of coconut milk, one can of pumpkin puree, one glob of creamy peanut butter and some more curry paste, simmer until vegetables are almost done.

    Add tofu cubes (pro-tip put the block of tofu on a cutting board in the sink, put another cutting board on top, then put a couple of cans on top of that. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.) and simmer to warm through.

    Serve over rice.

    En guete!

    Nasi Goreng, 2nd generation leftovers, top 5 breakfast.

    1st generation leftovers.

    Leftover ribs fried rice- cooked and cooled rice, diced pork, frozen vegetables thawed, basil, sambal badjek, pineapple chunks, fish sauce, 2 eggs beaten, soy sauce, other ingredients to taste. Fry.

    2nd generation leftovers.

    Nasi Goreng a la Bule - put fried rice in bowl, add a splash of water, crack eggs on top of rice, cover, microwave using the reheat 5 setting in my microwave plus one minute on 100% for a beautifully runny yolk. Top with fish sauce and hot sauce of choice, shown with Pick-a-Peppa because "someone" used the last of the sambal in the fried rice.

    Riiibs 'n Baguette

    So my wife is a vegetarian, and as a wise man once said >that pretty much makes me a vegetarian too>

    But, on this particular occasion, she had gone to Hagerstown, (on purpose,) so I was left to my own devices.

    Pork spareribs, overnight marinade (homemade mustard, horseradish, LS soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sechuan peppercorns, probably some other stuff) 22 minutes in pressure cooker (natural release), reduce marinade with some dark brown sugar, brush ribs with sauce, whack under broiler until done.

    The baguette had an over night poolish and yudane (which I can never figure out how to mix properly into the dough), 75% hydration, 2.2% salt, and about a gram of instant yeast. 2 and 1/2 or 3 hour bulk with two folds in the first hour, proof while the oven and steel heat 45 minutes to an hour.

    I'm ashamed to admit that I couldn't finish the ribs, but I had plans for the leftovers.
