Wednesday, November 19, 2008 we watched Amadeus (1984) and had Composed Salad with Fig VinaigretteF. Murray Abraham earned a Best Actor Oscar for his imperious performance as Antonio Salieri, a mediocre composer whose churlish young rival, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce), wins immortality with his musical genius. Salieri, not happy to see his talent eclipsed, deviously plots revenge. Sly and compelling from start to finish, Amadeus also won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director (Milos Forman). Wolfy's laugh is haunting to say the least!
The dinner was delectable--especially the tasty fig dressing. Also, what's not to love about panko breaded and pan fried goat cheese rounds? It was the first time Lindsey and I had fresh figs! Mmm.
In attendance: Eric, Lindsey, and Barb (the only one to stay awake!)
Ratings: Movie = 3, Dinner = 4.25
