GLASS ONION FOR CHRISTMAS

 I'm tempted to write about all that snow, the end of Trump and the skyrocketing number of new covid cases in China, but will just show three photos of one Christmas meal this weekend.

Why the splurge?  Not sure.  But the choice was not mine.  For example, that 25-year old Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whisky from Japan is close to $1000/bottle.  And that Caymus Cab was also not exactly cheap. $80.  

Having those quality alcoholic drinks match with the 15 Craigside Christmas dinner was almost unfair.  In that bento box were ham, pork and turkey, with dressing.  The soup was Kahuku corn chowder.

I should also add that playing for free on Netflix was Glass Onion:  A Knives Out Mystery, starring Daniel Craig, Ed Norton, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe and others, including cameos by Angela Lansbury, Stephen Sondheim, Serena Williams, Jake Tapper, Kareem Adul-Jabbar, Yo-Yo Ma, and even the likeness of Jared Leto and Jeremy Renner.  

As you might know, both Lansbury and Sondheim passed away this year.  This is the second chapter of the series.  Rotten Tomatoes gave Glass Onion really good scores: 93 by reviewers and 93 by the audiences.  I agree, it was most entertaining.  Director Rian Johnson said that there will be a third film.

I might finally add that the soundtrack included:

• Fugue in G Minor by Bach
• Star Child by Parliament
• Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
• To Love Somebody by The Bee Gees
• Take Me Home Country Roads

• 
  Star and Starman by David Bowie
• Cool Change by Little River Band
• Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole
• Glass Onion by The Beatles.
