Kalamatas, i want to posses you - for the purpose of eating you, of course. It is on instances as such that the voice that women have not been bestowed with the gift of a soul takes body. It is our duty and pleasure as solicitous husbands, after having assured them of food, shelter, protection and legitimate entertainment, to provide them of guidance.

Man, I'm having more of that!

Ah, that is almost exactly my dinner to night (Bob's diet you know). Of lately I have been following the advices of my cooking inspirer about pork fat for sauteeing (?!): more tasty and apparently better nutritional attributes. Instead of pepper I used a small fiery little hot pepper that my cleaning woman (A Southern generous matron, that has been very favorable impressed by Bob diet) prepares for me under olive oil. And to make it fully a full dish, I smothered it in grated cheeses. For the occasion I grated sheep cheese and mountain goat ricotta that I had reduced to portions and frozen. They just go in the grater happy as they were fresh. A triumph of aromas and flavors that called for some valiant wine, which is not scarce in my small but well stocked cellar, and that will remain such, as I am keeping my vote of abstinence as a sign of solidarity for a friend, a very close friend, that is fighting a long, difficult personal battle against alcohol, and who needs all the support.
