THE LAST SUPPER - THE ReRessurection

Yes, we are doing another Mafia Murder Night called THE LAST SUPPER - THE ReRESSURECTION (that's two more than the original). It's such a fun night and no where else in Istanbul can you play this game with such fun people while eating great food (says the cook, who is seriously into self praise). Not to mention the now lethal and soon to be banned Vodka Punch. I think at the last evening I drank myself sober which is impressive by any standards.

What will we eat? Well I haven't decided that except that it will be Asian since there is such a cry for ethic food in this city plus of course I can cook it well having been born and lived in the far east plus having had a father who was an extraordinarily good cook who taught me everything while I wept over onions he told me to peel.

Why haven't I decided the menu yet? Well mainly because I am off tomorrow to Milan for the weekend and yes I know I should be thinking about doing an Italian menu but I am not going to drag back food to cook for others when I wish to take it home to my kids for their enjoyment (I already have orders from them as to what to bring back except that ice-cream is not a possibility but top of their list).

The night begins on Friday 21st May 2010 at 8.00pm. The price will be 35tl to include food, water, drink and the game which is a bargain in itself. We already have most of the place booked up and only a few places left to go.

And perhaps in Milan I might just get the chance to go and see The Last Supper but to be honest with you the euro charge to look at it is horrendous and although I desperately love art it has never been one I was desperate to see (unlike David or The Nightwatch (which I have now seen)) so I'm wondering if I'm better off doing something else and googling the painting. Yes I know it doesn't equate to the original but not being particularly religious it's full significance will be somewhat lost on me and I can only enjoy it as a piece of art that is eroding away because L de V did not think to use the usual fresco medium and used oil paint instead (see I do know my stuff).
