The Phantom of the Opera

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 we watched The Phantom of the Opera and made Parmesean Risotto

The Phantom of the Opera is there... still (!) in my mind...
This classic Beauty and the Beast tale takes place in a 17th, early 18th century Paris opera house. There we find a young rising star Christine (Emmy Rosum), a horribly jealous diva (Minnie Driver), new opera house owners including the hopelessly-in-love Vicomte de Chagny, a strangely mysterious house Madam, and of course, an even more mysterious opera house Phantom (Gerard Butler). This full house experiences a beautiful tale of forbidden desires, fated romances, haunting songs, and nail-biting suspense. Now, if they would have only left out the bad 80's rock band moments it would have been just as good as the real deal.

The dinner was hauntingly delicious! Although we may have burned our onion/butter combo leaving us with a darker more 'oatmeal' looking Risotto so we left out the picture this week... We loved the 'toasted' flavor though!
