Friday Night

A fantastic start to the sunny long weekend. Came home to the wonderful scent of homemade thai green curry. M had cooked up a storm over the previous 2 days and the results were fantastic. The curry paste was from scratch blended, after days of trawling Asian supermarkets for the right ingredients, with the kind of effort and love understood only by a true foodie.

Spicy curry followed by a spicy Spanish film. The current must see movie is Volver. A raw story of female relationships, in a less bourgeois setting. True to its subject the film is an interesting insight into rural Spanish life and culture. Admittedly I am a Pedro Aldomovar virgin, but this film has tempted me into a search for some of his other titles.
