It's a quiet foggy morning. I need to get a few things grocery-wise and anticipating crowds at the market. Not trying Trader Joes, for this is one of the few days the parking lot will be vicious.
Using the stuffed shells I made previously for dinner tomorrow and need the ingredients for the accompanying salad.
Saw Maestro yesterday on Netflix. Bradley Cooper is a dead ringer for Bernstein and Carrie Mulligan plays off him perfectly as his spouse. Interspersed are the scenes of his male dalliances with her efforts to deal with this reality and the real pain it causes her. She always puts on a brave public face. She is maybe a bigger part of the story than Cooper. He is magnificent in his outlandish mannerisms. The wild Bernstein hair and flashing smile are perfectly portrayed. Lenny truly adored his wife, but often, too often succumbed to his weaknesses. There is lots of cigarette smoke and the beginning scenes in black and white beautifully set the tone. Presented is NYC of the 50's with lots of drinking, conversation and constant smoking. I particularly like the sepia tones shown. See this one.
Everyone have a wonderful holiday no matter how you celebrate!
It will be pretty quiet around here tomorrow.
all for now
stay safe
