Christmas Ham
This is the most delicious Ham for Christmas Day. It only takes about ½ an hour which means you have more time for shopping (and to do all the necessary pre production on your face and body for the big Day. )

You need:
2 Tabs Dijon Mustard
¼ cup Balsamic vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar or honey add more if you feel like it
A shoulder of Ham ( already cooked)
• Mix the Mustard, the sugar and the vinegar together in a bowl
• Give it a whisk
• Grab the Ham. Please don’t read if you are a vegetarian. Pull away at the rind or skin so that it comes off leaving a small layer of fat. Yes. Fat. A scary word.This is liposuction for the ham. If only it was as easy as this on our thighs.
• Leave this bit in the fridge to cover the ham on Boxing day
• Now get a knife and cut groovy little diamond shapes in the fat. This is called scoring and you will be scoring with all those calories.
• Place little cloves in the centre of each diamond shape so that the fat stays on the ham like a pin cushion and the aroma seeps into the ham. Think studs like the new Miu Miu shoes and you get the picture.
• Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper
• Then plonk the ham on top of it
• Pre heat the oven to 180
• Then drizzle half the glaze mixture over the Ham.
• Place in the oven and then baste it every 10 minutes with the rest of glaze.
• It will become a gorgeous brown caramelized colour. Think Donatella!
• When it’s done after about half an hour pull it out of the oven and let it cool
• Discard all the glaze in the bottom of the baking tray
• Pour a glass of champers and relax
• Serve with Turkey on Christmas Day

• Merry Christmas and A Happy and Peaceful New Year!
The FiFi Report will be back in January 2007!

The Black Dahlia …Directed by Brian De Palma
Based on: the novel by James Ellroy.
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller.
Who: Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank, Aaron Eckhart, Mia Kirshner.
The Plot: Hollywood 1947… The plot is very convoluted. I think this is what happens. But I am not sure: Two LAPD detectives are friends; Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart. Both in love with the same woman; Scarlett Johannsen. They are also boxers. They smoke. Then smoke more. Baddies turn up. A shoot out. A Hollywood starlet is murdered. More smoking. Hilary Swank turns up. She is rich and bisexual. More smoking. More shooting, fighting murders, love scenes. Oh, and more smoking. They should all be dead by the end of the movie. From Lung cancer. Creepy types with disfigured faces appear looking mean. It gets more confusing. Who cares? it’s so great to look at. Who cares? Josh Hartnett is so handsome. More murders. More shooting. More screaming. Very Film Noir. A kiss. The end.
Acting: Hilary Swank and Aaron Eckhart are fabulous. Scarlett Johansen is asleep but looks good. Ditto Josh Hartnett. (“To say [Hartnett] lacks charisma or screen presence is like saying Hurricane Katrina caused a few problems.” Film Threat)
Photography: Very Film Noir . Fabulous gritty black and white shots, with lurking figures and shadows on the wall.. Turn off the sound and just watch the beautiful scenes.
Design: Gorgeous 1940’s houses, divine furniture, glamorous mansions and amazing production design.
Wardrobe: It’s quite fabulous. Men always look great in suits. Scarlett and Hilary wear glamorous gowns, shoulder pads, very 40’s high waist wide trousers, fitted knits and belts with pencil skirts. I am convinced Miuccia Prada saw this movie before her latest collection for next spring. It’s so right …. 40’s is back.
Salon de Beaute: So very Hollywood with fabulous coifed curled hair and red lips with false eyelashes.
Botox: Scarlett and Hillary have had it. You need it to understand the ever confusing plotWaterproof Mascara: No need. No laughing. No crying.
Mistake #1: When Lee is being lifted into the incinerator, he moves his head, despite being dead. Oops.
Bloodnguts: There are chopped up corpses, blood, guts and fights.
Mind drifted to shopping: When I had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on.Smokin’ smooches: They smoked a lot but not alot of smooches.
Car chases: What 1940’s gangster Film Noir is complete without a few car chases?Rename It: China Town
Best Review: “Meticulously mounted with bravura filmmaking that serves well the darkly intriguing, fact-based noir crime yarn, this is one of De Palma’s most technically accomplished films.” EmanuelLevy.Com
Best Worst Review: Even though Hollywood is known for fakes and forgeries, from fake breasts to fake Rolexes and fake blood, you would think it would still know how to make a movie about itself.” Richmond.com
“A beautiful mess.” Supercala.com
 “ If you like any of the lead actors, don’t go see this movie. If you like good movies, don’t go see this movie. If you’re a steady customer at Helga’s House of Pain, this one’s for you” .Detroit News
See it or donate to the Prada Bag fund? It’s as chic as a Prada bag and as gorgeous to look at. Who cares if they never make sense.. http://www.theblackdahliamovie.net/
