Wednesday, October 1, 2008 we watched Atonement (2007) and made Dinner at the Tallis's (Beef Bourguignon)In the movie, a childhood lie irrevocably changes the lives of several people forever. When 13-year-old Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) misinterprets a moment of flirtation between her older sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and a servant's son, Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), her confusion causes her to finger Robbie as the perpetrator of a crime. Brenda Blethyn and Vanessa Redgrave co-star in this Oscar nominee for Best Picture.
The dinner was the perfect meal for a rainy October night. Thankfully Rachael Ray's version was very quick and delicious. We substituted 2 white onions for the frozen pearl onions. Mmm! Instead of egg noodles we made potatoes and I got a loaf of rustic bread from the Terminal Market as an accompaniment. The wine in the recipe (we used pinot noir) tasted just as good in a glass!
In attendance: Eric, Lindsey & Barb
