...is more reminiscent of Heinlein�s "Stranger in a strange land"..., which, when looked at twice yes, is kind of a remake of the Gospels from a Hippie/New Age point of view, touched by more than a few drops of libertarian sadism...
The book was very good indeed. And it would need a real great scriptwriter, and a same height director to make a good film of it: maybe Gonzalez I�arrirtu and his usual team could have done something...

Found the book really so good?
After the third being to my finding quite good, it goes on to platitude and boredom.
As for the film...Nul.

    You did wrong, then.

        Well your sin will be your penitence and in there, there is, of course, no redemption.

      we had an incredibly delicious 1er Cru Remoissenet Gevrey-Chambertin with dinner two nights ago. Yes, you French are still the masters of the Pinot. Extraordinary!

        At the moment I am concentring on Loire wine! There are VERY cheap and wonderful.( Chenin blanc )
        After 5-10 years they start to be...A pleasure.
        Pinot noir is just the best red wine, for my taste.
        But now, too expensive.
        What did you eat with?

        with slivers of garlic under the skin, a small onion and parsley inside the cavity, and a slight rubbing on the surface with olive oil and tarragon.
        I made three different vegetable accompaniments (I cook two days a week, vegetable dishes do well in storage for a few days) composed of different spices, of tomatoes, celery, garlic, onion, red and green peppers in various combinations.
        Mashed potatoes.
        Simple food, absolutely fresh ingredients.
        Dessert was fruit salad, several cheeses, and Doisy Daenae, though too young still delicious (ended up drizzling it over the fruits).
        Life is good.

        Try this one.
        Take one Kilo of potatoes( the one you take for mashed p.)
        Make very thin slices.
        In a ceramic form a bit of butter all around.
        First layer of potatoes slighly superposed until there is no gap.
        Then salt and pepper and fresh garlic juice, then a few morels ( fresh or not )
        And so on...
        Oven 200�
        You cover it with a sheet of aluminium who has been greased with butter.
        ONE hour.
        Then you take double cream and brown it under the grill until brown.
        A Riesling.
        
        Okay, that'l be next! Sounds delightful since we like both - tinear 06:49:47 01/26/07 (3)

        mushrooms and potatoes (and garlic and cream, of course...).
        There is nothing better than wild mushrooms. When I lived in Oregon, I'd go "mushrooming" regularly. Chanterelles? We'd get them by the kilo, the golden ones. Sorels were more difficult to find but when we did.... ooo la la.

        I forgot ! For every layer salt and pepper!
        We got also our ( most ) mushrooms in the forest in front of our door.
        The Rheingau wein too.
        Do not forget to buy 2005!!!!!!!!

        Rheingau Riesling, of course.
        BUT now do you know there is also a Riesling noir?
        I tried it.
        Won�t mention it anymore.
        But my curiousity was satisfied.
