It's been a cooking week

Monday night, I cooked a Valentine's Day dinner for [livejournal.com profile] moria923 and [livejournal.com profile] thorbol: Filets mignons in a brandy cream sauce, spinach with butter and nutmeg, noodles, and Cointreau chocolate mousse. The next big meal I'm cooking is at the end of the month: Duck with other, unspecified, stuff.

Last night, though, I took my payment from Valentine's day (filets and spinach, uncooked) and fixed them for me and [livejournal.com profile] eanja. We didn't have any brandy, so we had to make do with Southern Comfort, but I think it was all right.

Change of Subject

The House of Flying Daggers wasn't as good as Hero. Maybe I've seen Casablanca too many times, but I would really have rather seen the final battle between the Chinese army and the Flying Daggers. Frankly, the problems of three little people didn't amount to a hill of beans in that crazy world.

Unlike many people, I even preferred Hero visually. Other than the echo sequence and the costumes, I just didn't find it that impressive.
