Have actually locked in on War and Peace, lately, although I feel like my thoughts on this book are basically just going to alternate between "this idiot (affectionate)" about Pierre and "this idiot (derogatory)" about Nikolai for the next however many months. (I'm 1.25 months and 20% in, so... six months?) As it is, the narrative has briefly checked in on all characters on the "peace" side of the plot: Pierre has had his head immediately turned by wealth and flattery and been social-pressured into a marriage with the beautiful but incompatible Helene Kuragina; on the Bolkonsky family estate, Vasili Kuragin tried to marry off his wastrel son Anatole to poor Princess Mary and Prince Andrei's poor, doomed wife Lise is having a bad time being pregnant and isolated with her husband's weird family while he's off fighting the French; the Rostovs received a letter from Nikolai and the younger ones had a conversation full of dramatic irony in light of their turns of fate later in the novel. Now we're back to the War, where Nikolai Rostov has racked up debts, keeps being rude to people for no particular reason, and has a raging crush on Emperor Alexander, while his childhood friend Boris Drubetskoy is busy networking.

Last week's bread held out very well and there was even enough crust left to cut up and fry with onion and garlic to make frittata for Friday night supper.
Saturday breakfast rolls: basic buttermilk, 3:1 strong white/buckwheat flour (I was actually going to do rye, but it was rather long past its best before).
Today's lunch: this was actually a change of plan, because for last night's evening meal we had Waitrose Slow-Cooked Gammon Shank which turned out to be Rather A Lot, so quite a bit left over, which I therefore recycled into a sort-of cassoulet-type-thing with Belazu Judion Butter Beans, garlic, thyme, and panko crumbs; served with tenderstem broccoli tips, trimmed fine green beans and chopped Romano peppers white-braised, but with lazy chopped ginger rather than star anise for a change, and chestnut mushrooms sauteed somewhat after the recipe in Dharamjit Singh's Indian Cookery, with onion salt, ground black pepper, basil, a dash of cayenne, and lime juice.

I am really torn about this one. On the one hand, all the downsides I assumed when first hearing about this and when watching the trailer turned out not to be the case. On the other hand, something I hadn't expected did happen - two somethings, actually - and both to my favourite character from the original, and I'm still massively annoyed about this.
What I thought/feared: because The Night Manager had been such a success, they'd simply go for the (unnecessary) repeat sequel formula, with Jonathan Pine motivated by personal loss and vengeance (again), and the two new characters, arms dealer Teddy Santos, as a Richard Roper copy, and the sole woman focused on in the trailer, Roxana, in the role of beautiful girlfriend of the villain falling in love with our hero. This turned out not to be the case, though the first episode seemed to indicate it would be, with just enough differences to make it entertaining. Then more episodes happened, and I sat up and thought: Oh. Oh. That....is actually a really clever twist on the formula. Or several. But also, come episode 3, the first of the two things happened. And, well, I can't talk about this without spoilers....
( Spoilers think that if the original version was more optimistic than Le Carré's novel, this sequel decided to go all in with the cynism (though not nihilism) )
