Friday Dinner
So, turkey, chicken and mozzarella cheese meatballs (with fennel and other spices) simmering in chicken stock with tomatoes, garlic, fresh oregano and basil from the garden, black, white, pink and green ground pepper, red pepper flakes and a secret ingredient. To be served with quills. A fine, robust red. A salad with pinot gris. Cheese and fruit with port. That's Friday dinner. Que vagi de gust!

Saturday morning
I went to bed last night feeling a bit uneasy after having watched
The Social Network. While representations of the real life protagonists may have been skewed, I believe the film to be factually accurate and I can see how Mark Zuckerberg may indeed be guilty of intellectual property theft and worse.
In any case, I had a good night sleep and now it's Saturday morning which means a breakfast of delicious buttermilk flapjacks, today with a dose of Tchaikovsky's
Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Op. 65 and his Symphonic Ballad,
The Voyevoda, Op. 78 in a splendid 1990 recording by the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by
Claudio Abbado.
A Mimosa awaits me.
