The highlight this weekend was a trip to the theater to watch Rango- an animation movie, referencing the wild west and has Johnny Depp in the lead (voice) playing a lizard named Rango. And, while everyone watched I slept. Perhaps Johnny Depp, on screen, in his true, God-made avatar and not simply his voice playing a lizard, would have kept me awake ( please watch Chocolat for better reference) or perhaps I had a long and tiring week and a nice nap inside the cool interiors of a cozy theater is just what I needed. Anyways, I was told it is a good movie so please go watch people.
These days, on weekends, I spend a little more time than normal in the kitchen, developing my amateur chef skills and so the specials for this weekend was an all grill menu. Grilled asparagus simply marinated with olive oil, salt and pepper; grilled Italian sandwich made with the juiciest vine red tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, pesto sauce , olive oil and jalapeno & cheese focaccia bread. There was also some "tandoori" chicken for the omnivores in attendance and of course some delicious red wine. The fun aspect about grilling is you can do it outdoors if you have a fairly decent grill set and since the weather cooperated, infact it was a rather pleasant and cool night, dinner was cooked and served outdoors.
Well, the weather did not remain cool and pleasant all through the weekend. We have been having quite a rainy-windy weather over the week and the weekend was not fully spared either. But with a good board game or a good book or movie or music or food & wine or good company, or all of the above, staying indoors while everything outside gets drenched and soaked by the rains, is not a bad prospect at all. I also thought my little backyard looked rather charming, with the orange and pink blooms, all wet, heavy and droopy from the rains.
