chuckro- We have officially eaten at a Michelin-starred restaurant, Aureole. (I suspect we have before, but this was the first time I was conscious of it. It was a glorious meal.) I have never had venison this tender and mild. I have also never known gorgonzola cheese to blend so well into a dish (specifically a spatzel dish). Seriously, it was marvelous.
- If you told 6-year-old me that one day I would be savoring beets, I would have thought you mad. Yet here we are.
- Goat cheese risotto can be a thing. Did you know that? We never thought of that. But it can be a delicious thing.
- We then saw The Play That Goes Wrong. It's not Noises Off, but that's damning it with an impossible comparison. It's still hilarious, and it takes avenues of humor (collapsing sets, technical problems) that aren't used in Noises Off, so it doesn't feel like a retread.
- Though as much as I liked the physical humor, the bit that keeps getting me is the discussion of their previous plays, which were done with a much smaller cast and budget. So they did Anton Chekhov's “Two Sisters,” “Snow White and the Tall, Broad Gentlemen,” and the hit musical “Cat”. They also did a production of Roald Dahl's “James and the...Peach” which, when the fruit went rotten, was quickly changed into, “James...Where's Your Peach?”
