god the way that amangeaux comforted colin after he killed his father and his personal connection to the sanctus putris only for her to experience basically the exact same thing with chutney later on.
being forced to do horrible things for some higher power and then finally forging your own path and feeling free. finally having some semblance of feeling that you are doing the right thing, all you’ve ever wanted to do from the start. only to be confronted with that sort of revelation. and by the end, despite everything, hearing them say that they’re proud of you. for becoming the person that you’ve been desperately trying all this time not to become. idk man there are better ways to word this but my heart just breaks for both of them

Elle Woods would be able to solve the Knives Out and Glass Onion cases but Benoit Blanc wouldn't have figured out that Chutney wasn't in the shower.

Spek Braaibroodjie
After a few days of grey, sodden skies, the patches of blue and sunshine piercing through clouds today were enough to incite me to come out; and once I was out, I wouldn't leave the garden! I lit a barbie, and grilled myself an excellent Spek Braaibroodjie, the addition of bacon to the South African classic making it an even more-ish treat, which I ate, reading a good book, with the green budgies perching on the apple tree for company! I encourage you to partake in this simple pleasure, if the weather allows it! Happy Tuesday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 rashers smoked streaky bacon
2 large, thin slices Sourdough bread
1/2 tablespoon butter, softened
2 heaped tablespoons Peach Chutney
half a small red onion
half a small, not too ripe tomato, rinsed
30 grams/1 ounce good quality Gouda Cheese
Prepare barbecue: half an hour before grilling, arrange a small layer of coals in the barbecue. Top with a few small branches of dry wood (applewood gives a good taste), and light.
In a small frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon rashers, about 1 minute on each side, until just browned and sizzling. Remove from the heat. Set aside.
Spread butter on one side of both Sourdough slices. Flip them over and spread all sides generously with Peach Chutney.
Thinly slice red onion and cut tomato into slices. Arrange red onion slices onto the Peach Chutney on one of the Sourdough slices. Top with tomato slices, in an even layer.
Cut Gouda into thick enough slices. Remove the wax, cut slices into bits, and arrange Gouda bits in a rather even layer onto the Peach Chutney on the other Sourdough slice. Top with reserved sizzled bacon rashers.
Sandwich laden Sourdough slices together carefully, and place sandwich onto a gridiron, preferably one with two grates, to secure and hold it.
Once the flames have died down, and the embers are red, place gridiron over the embers, and grill the sandwich. It won’t take more than 2 minutes on each side, possibly less!
Carefully remove Spek Braaibroodjie from the gridiron and cut it in halves.
Enjoy Spek Braaibroodjie immediately, with dressed lettuce, and a glass of chilled South African Chenin Blanc or Chardonnay!
