...Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush, is one Administration - and what seems a whole political era - out of date. Dan Gordon's Irena's Vow, starring Tovah Feldshuh as a Polish-Catholic woman who saves a dozen Jews from the Nazis by hiding them in the cellar of the SS officer's house where she works as a housekeeper, seems just as old hat: an earnest but clumsily staged Holocaust melodrama of the sort we've seen many times before, and usually better...
...Sainte-Anne, where you can get excellent ramen. Later, for dinner, I'd go to Le Petit Bofinger, tel: (33-1) 4272 0523, at Bastille, just across the way from the famous belle époque Brasserie Bofinger. It's roomy, but not too expensive, with a great wine cellar and good traditional fare. I'd have their foie gras to start, then calf's kidneys, a cheese course, and their crème caramel for dessert. And to finish the day off right, I'd hit the Folies Pigalles, tel: (33-1) 4878 5525. It's this enormous club...
...Chez Panisse, yes, we can have salad all year long. But we also have dried beans, winter squashes, root vegetables from the root cellar, turnips and all the heritage colors of carrots. We can our tomatoes and we use huckleberry syrup that we've made in the summer. We just think about food differently. And we have the wealth of knowledge of how to do this from the cuisines around the world. I look along my latitude and I can find people in other countries who are so imaginative with the way they eat in the cold months...
...emblematic of Austria's inclination to evade the uncomfortable questions raised by the Fritzl case. It came to light just two years after Austrians learned of a surprisingly similar case: that of Natascha Kampusch, kidnapped at age 10 by another engineer and kept in a purpose-built cellar prison for eight years before she escaped in 2006. The form of incarceration wasn't the only thing the two cases had in common: not a single social worker, police officer or government official has taken any responsibility for the failures that enabled either crime...
...langoustine must be fished out of glass jars. Almond-and-lime skyr, a strained Icelandic cheese, is served on a banana leaf, wrapped like a present with bows and cellophane paper. The elaborate packaging is charming, but ultimately unnecessary: flavor and freshness make a meal at the Seafood Cellar a gift in itself. For details, see www.sjavarkjallarinn.is...
