My favourite movie isThe Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou .
I know , I should have played like I was super intellectual and said my favorite film wasMetropolisorCitizen Kaneor perhaps just go with something epic like The Ten Commandments .
No , those are hunky-dory … but I ca n’t help oneself it . I really , really likeThe Life Aquatic .
Yes , it ’s now and again crude and completely shallow , but it also features Bill Murray as a Jacques Cousteau - esque character , hunting down a killer shark and trying to get along with his rich , mean wife and fresh discovered son . Oh – and Jeff Goldblum bring a rival researcher with an absolutely consummate watercraft and a crew of young man that take care like Abercrombie & Mustela putorius model .
Heh .
I ’ve probably watched the film 6 times and would gayly catch it again tonight . I laugh every time . The sense of sense of humor is very much like my own .
And I grew up watching Jaques Cousteau .
Anyhow , all that to say , there ’s a drinking feature at one point in the film – a famous cordial from Italy have a go at it as Campari .
Campari is at the same time bitter and sweet and tastes awe-inspiring on the rocks , once you get used to its singular , puckery taste .
If I trade enough books and/or had a real job , I ’d always keep a bottle of Campari around … but I do n’t , so I ’m stuck make my own prison house hootch from stale bread rolls , grape jelly and steal ketchup bundle .
banter . My friend Brandon supplies me with mead , so I ’m serious .
So – what ’s the deal with The Life Aquatic and Campari ?
Well , Campari is made , in part , with a wondrous citrus I have growing in my nutrient forest . Check out my new telecasting to see what I signify :
Yep – calamondins .
I really had to search for almost a year before I get hold a calamondin tree for sale . I utterly be intimate these things and never desire to be without one again . attend at how beautiful they are :
Calamondins are dark with somewhat sweet skin , like a kumquat – except they also section nicely like a tangerine , unlike kumquats .
And , as I mentioned in the video , calamondins make the very skilful marmalade .
More on the calamondin can be foundhere .
