Wednesday, August 12, 2009 our movie was The Big Chill (1983). We dined on a Chilled Dinner of Tuna Niçoise Sandwiches and Gazpacho.In The Big Chill, a group of college friends are reunited at a funeral. One of the group has committed suicide and they all struggle with why, what they could have done differently, and how to keep from falling out of touch again. Several couples intermingle in interesting ways but everyone comes out on the other side better for having spent that unexpected weekend away, reconnecting with people who really mean something to each other. Jeff Goldblum, Glenn Close, William Hurt and Kevin Kline star. It will make you want a new pair of sneakers.
On to dinner: Mmm. These were the best tuna sandwiches we have had! The only substitution was tuna packed in water rather than in oil, and I would make it this way again. Definitely take the time to press the sandwich and let it stand--it was even better the next day for lunch when all the flavors "cured" together. We also made the gazpacho, which I have to say, we were not keen on. The manchego cheese was delicious to snack on though!
