Prepare for a virtual feast
So we had dinner with P and L. I ate more than I do in a week. Here is what I (gulp) consumed:
bread and sheep's milk ricotta
roasted red peppers
beet salad (small)
sweet corn ravioli (small)
some of L's fettucine with pesto
2 small, fresh-baked doughnuts
Dang, it was good. The doughnuts were called "bombolina." The waiter came over to tell us, "Your bombolina will be out in five to ten minutes...we had to put in a new batch." P said, "I thought he was going to tell us they were out of them...and I was going to KILL him." They were divine. You know the kind of dessert where you cry out, "Oh, my GOD" as you're eating it and you're transported to food heaven? Yeah. That kind.
I always eat more with them. I think they have a relaxing effect on me :)
Before dinner, I watched Million Dollar Baby. The acting was great. I thought they all deserved their Oscars. Hillary Swank was really likable and also buff. I was in awe of her arms. But, starting at the 90-minute mark, the movie took a real turn for the worse. As in, seriously depressing. I was chanting in my head, It's-not-real it's-not-real it's-not-real...
It was very well-crafted, scripted and acted...but kind of devastating. Approach with caution.

Thanks for the warning about the movie. I'm sensitive like that. I was physically ill watching Schindler's List:(
I adore that you chant -it's not real to yourself. Me too,and my daughter too,lol
You're welcome :)
I love goat cheese, but I don't believe I've ever had cheese made from sheep's milk. I'm a sucker for good cheese, probably even moreso since I moved so close to the "Cheddar Curtain" (what we folks in Illinois refer to the Wisconsin border as).
"Cheddar Curtain" - I love it.
