The Fall


Wednesday, May 6th, we watched The Fall (2006) and we made Toasted Spice Salmon Burgers with Orange-Apricot Glaze and Curried Mustard Mayo along with a side salad of greens, oranges, red onion, and beets.

The Fall was a visually sumptuous fantasy world of exotic bandits, evil tyrants, dream-like palaces and breathtaking landscapes. It was shot on location in 28 countries around the world! While young Alexandria is recuperating from a fractured arm in a Los Angeles Hospital, she befriends another patient, Roy Walker, who tells a variety of tales, including one about Emperor Alexander, and the second story of six men: Luigi - an explosions expert; a Native American Indian; A runaway slave; an East Indian swordsman; a masked bandit; and Charles Darwin - all on a quest to kill oppressive Spanish Governor Odious for individually inflicting atrocities on each and every one of them. She soon becomes embroiled in this tale and starts mixing fiction with reality not realizing that Roy is using her to procure a drug for him.

Cramming 3 chefs into my new small kitchen was definitely a feat. But we managed to make an amazing dinner-we just didnt want it to end! I would highly recommend making these burgers and this movie.

In attendance: Lindsey, Barb, Stacey, and Eric

Ratings: Movie = 4.175 Dinner = 5
