Late start
I watched three movies last night, so off to a very late start today. The movies:
Pineapple Express – I thought it was quite funny, but for a stoner comedy it had a very high body count and some amazing fight sequences.
The Caller – Interesting, slow-paced, and absorbing movie. Good performances, timely story.
Life or Something Like It – a romantic comedy from 2002 with Edward Burns and Angelina Jolie, but Tony Shalhoub steals the show.
The roasted chunks of purple potato and celeriac were extremely tasty. I found some fresh rosemary in the fridge and chopped up some of that to use—you can’t use dried herbs when roasting veg because they get bitter and burned. I tossed the potato and celeriac cubes in olive oil, spread them in the pan, and sprinkled them with the rosemary, a generous amount of coarse salt, and enough freshly ground pepper that they tasted spicy. Roast for 45 minutes at 375º F and Bob’s your uncle. I discovered that squeezing lemon juice over the roasted celeriac was a fine touch.
Today’s a task day: we’re shopping for clothes for The Son’s wedding, so we’ll be out and about.
