Just a couple of degrees lower to day. A big storm with hail in the middle of the night helped a little. But again hot air from the Sahara desert is blowing on us, with red sands in it.
The wine tonight was a local white " Erbaluce" (grasslight). I saw they merchandise it in the States also. But to a price that is absolutely unjustified. I payed mine 5 tallers for the bottle. Or shells, or glass beads, whatever. 5 things. It accompanied egregiously steamed salmon and shrimps. Plus a mixed salad and greens galore.
The aperitif was modest. A glass of white topped with Campari. Standard Milanese aperitif, called scià e là. Meaning here and there, because after a few you do not even know who you are, imagine where. That's me. She had a small Leffe from the bottle.
By the way. I did not put on weight during the holidays.
