P&P (Pride & Prejudice)

Japanese satellite Sky Perfect (aka ska-pa) showed again the 5-6 hours BBC drama Pride & Prejudice. I had seen in the tiny little ska-pa monthly magazine that it would be shown earlier this year, but I had forgotten to record it.
As for other shows, it was again shown in March and I finally did record it. And watch it. It was rather long, about 45 min x 6. But very enjoyable. Ah, Colin Firth ...
I watched and watched again my favorite parts, of course. And read the same favorites parts in the book.
And rented again the 2005 movie. Which of course just goes over the best parts, given the much shorter time of a movie vs a 4.5-5-hour drama.
I did even find on YouTube records of favorite parts of this and other dramas/movies. I won't be putting link, since they most probably infringe all copyrights.
Last but not least, I discovered on Amazon.com that sequels to P&P had been written. Some better than others. I bought on amazon.co.jp the paperback edition of "Mr Darcy's Diary". It was nicely written, showing Mr Darcy's perspective and struggles. Very enjoyable, really.
Another similar book that also seems interesting is "The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy", published in UK. Unfortunately, it is a little expensive (over 4000 Yen). And it is not as if one would find it in a Japanese library ...

Baking

I did some baking this week-end: apple/banana healthy pie


Crust made with 300 gr flour (about 200 gr wholewheat and 100 gr white flour), some crisp vegetable oil, salt and water.

One apple grounded (?), 2 squashed ripe bananas, 4 eggs, some sugar, some cinamon. Mix everything, put into the shapes (I used silicon baking tools) and bake for about 30 min @ 180 C.

Same recipe can be used for salty pies, for example with veggies.

This time, I forgot to buy "creamy" textured cottage cheese (easier to use than the standard one---and still very low in fat, in case you care)
