Thursday, January 15, 2009 we watched Man on Wire and Man, was it amazing! For dinner, we made: "A Tight Rope Act:" Chicken roll-ups with herb cheese and spinach with a side of lemon, pistachio pasta.
James Marsh's dazzling, invigorating documentary Man on Wire tells the story of a truly inspiring figure. In the early 1970s, a fiery young Frenchman named Philippe Petit wanted to shake up the world. When he saw the World Trade Center being built in New York City, he found his mission. Petit was a trained high wire walker, and his goal was to set up a wire between the two towers and give the world a show it could never have expected.
The chicken roll-ups were delicious! So easy to make with chicken cutlets, Alouette spreadable herb cheese, and some blanched spinach . We rolled up the cutlets, tied them with our "tight rope" of butcher's twine, then pan-seared them-yum! The pasta was even more delicious with a wonderfully nutty texture. I think we would all highly recommend both.
In attendance: Janette, Stacey, Barb and Lindsey (Eric you missed a good one!)
