I got no more—who are you for?
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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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: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.

It's been recommended to me! I am a weirdly hard sell on webcomics, I suspect because so many of them have archives to catch up on. I remember once reading Girl Genius overnight to bridge the gap between its archives and its current storyline and I'm not sure I could do it again.

The dish I made for Thanksgiving that I was most pleased with was wild rice and cranberries, with caramelized onions (recipe).
I think I've never managed to see The Maltese Falcon. I need to rectify that.
I looked up "thermopolium." I now endorse your first paragraph.

Delicious! And about three times as much as we actually needed. We have so many leftovers.
I also made a last-minute impulse of butternut squash and spinach gratin, which I think came out beautifully. I will probably eat most of the remains myself.

That looks lovely!

The 1941 version is deservedly classic. I want to write about the 1931 version because it was fascinating, both because it isn't a noir and because it's not even that good a movie. I did think Dwight Frye was great in it, though. All ten minutes of his screentime.

Thank you!
