sovay: (I Claudius)
Last night I dreamed of ordering takeout from a Roman thermopolium. I guess I know some dishes I'm making next Thanksgiving.

(This year's experiment is an oyster and cornbread stuffing, a traditional option I have never made myself. [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel found the recipe. It would have been clever if I'd made it as an homage to Arlo Guthrie's "The Ballad of Reuben Clamzo and His Strange Daughter in the Key of A," which is starting to become a listening staple of the holiday in the same way as "Alice's Restaurant," but then it might have needed to contain actual clams.)

Otherwise my recent life has been marked by film noir: [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks and I caught a double feature of The Maltese Falcon (1941) and The Big Sleep (1946) at the Brattle yesterday; we watched the first, pre-Code adaptation of The Maltese Falcon (1931) the night before. I am kind of amazed I didn't dream about Elisha Cook, Jr. I am beginning to feel as though I need some kind of cinematic catch-up post. Not today.

If it's a holiday for you or not, I hope it's a good one.
