Watching Sholay (1975) for the first time today. We’ll have to watch it in pieces (Bollywood movies, man—so long!) because of the kid. We started with a lunch of samosas and mango habanero sauce.

Since Thanksgiving itself is so busy, Sam and I are having a little one at home just for our little family. A Pinot Noir and a revisit of Ken Russell’s Women in Love (Glenda Jackson, Oliver Reed, Alan Bates) and we’re doing our best to kick back and relax tonight.

Sam wanted to make a couple great sauces, so she opted for a ham, cheddar, and apple toasted sandwich with a mayo/dijon sauce and some horseradish dipping sauce for sweet potato fries. A brown ale and a revisit of one of our recent favorite films—The Worst Person in the World—were both nice.

Just trying to understand why a certain person in power wants to return us to the policies of the late nineteenth century by reading a critique of the time by the man who coined the name of the era—The Gilded Age.

A beautiful fall day. One of Sam’s favorite movies (Douglas Sirk’s All That Heaven Allows) with maple old fashions and a hearty apple cider braised pork roast with veggies and mashed potatoes.
Enjoying the leaves today.

Sam made her diner chili for this chilly night. A few small beers and a first time viewing of Midnight Run to go with it.

Sam made her spin on Nashville hot chicken sandwich with coleslaw and onion rings. The bold flavors needed a bold film, so we’re watching Akira Kurosawa’s postwar crime movie Stray Dog and drinking a Japanese lager.

Our wine and dine and cinema tonight: for this rainy October evening Sam made her spin on zuppa toscana (Italian sausage soup) to go with a Chianti and a revisit of Robert Zemeckis’ underrated Hitchcock-inspired thriller What Lies Beneath, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford.

The local fog this morning inspired us to make our Wine and Dine based around the 1980 adaptation of Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Sam made a leek and ale shepherd’s pie to go with some hard cider. Happy fall!

Picture this—Sam made delicious butternut squash soup and brats to go with some KC Bier Co Festbier. We have been trying to get with the Halloween spirit so we’ve been watching the John Carpenter movies that are on the Criterion Channel.
