Figs and Port by Chris Dinsmore
I made a vanilla soy milk and honey risotto. I simmered figs in a zinfandel port sauce for 20 minutes. Then I reduced the port sauce. I added the figs to the risotto and then put the sauce over the top.

It’s deep fried choux paste. It’s basically a donut but so much more worth the calories that are at stake. The lighter-than-air ethereal dough balls are a perfect start to a day, or the end of a fantastic meal. The beignet is as versatile as it is delicious.

Initially, it wasn’t Astra’s sound that put them on my radar – it was the pale blue landscape from the cover of The Weirding. It looked like a Roger Dean landscape that had burned to the ground, and I couldn’t resist checking it out. When it finally made it into rotation, I consistently enjoyed its idiosyncratic mellotron-drenched approach to retro-prog. Overall, however, it was a bit overlong, oblique, and, unfortunately, it fell through the cracks in the long term.
Still, Astra presented themselves as the kind of adventurous underground group that I like to adopt and promote… adopt an adventurous promotion over at thePharmacy.
