October 2009
Before I start my fitness and diet programme coming Monday it was the regular Friday dinner at Massimo’s.
Good to be back with friends after a Spain trip.
Surf, Turf and a good cigar – this time 3 different kinds of oyster preparation, raw, a la Rockefeller and backed with Gorgonzola cheese, followed by a tender piece of steak cooked to perfection and finished with a nice whole turbot.

Cigars were not too bad either, as we could compare the older Monarcas with the younger ones that come in tubos.

I finished my dinner with an excellent Juan Lopez Nr 2 though, part of a few sticks “retirement CARE package present” that was sent to me by Steve Cohen from Toronto/Canada and what can I say, I am a believer ….. very, very yummy, incredibly rich, creamy, smooth and full of power, a great “to the last puff in-between the nails Robusto” that deserves to be in any humidor.

| Perfect ! |
Thank you VERY much for that gem !
I enjoyed it to the traditional Berta Grappa.

Even Lotte enjoyed the good dog life and received some pieces of the dinner action while we had some shooting practice on the i-phone ….

Not that I am looking forward to exercise and losing 20 pounds of hard earned belly matter, my so called “treasure chamber”, but I do look forward to the weekly reward for it – a good dinner.
One shouldn’t exaggerate things. Moderation in everything, even in moderation.
And to top it up, the postman rang twice yesterday … but that is the next report.
