February is Valentine’s Day, there seems to be no other connotation!
We don’t shoe shoe shine, although the saying and the name itself suggest a harsh/harsh winter. We haven’t had one in a long time, so maybe following the Veganuary trail a change to Valenuary or Luvty.
To the shore (by barge)
Valentine’s Day
For the grinches, a holiday of kitsch,
For lovers a day full of excitement,
Some fly to Paris, another to Verona,
Someone to a jeweler, someone to a braspot,
Maybe an exclusive restaurant?
Although if someone is not hungry for “so much”, he will simply choose a restaurant, and still others will end up with a pizza hoping after all that it will not end with pizza….
Generally through the stomach to the heart. On the one hand, it’s good to take care of the spectacle. If you’re not a master of small talk, exquisite food can be a conversation starter and disputation. About the goodness on the plate and in the glass. About the superiority of a chocolatier over an amuse – bouche, an interlude or taste bud cleanser over an intermezzo, or small sweets over petit fours (stick in the anthill).
And on the other hand, imagine an evening full of romance, contemplation and hope….
She enters, all in white,
pizza, picka, pie… PIZZA!
The queen of the evening.
Round, fluffy,
Crispy on the outside,
Hot on the inside,
Full of sensuality,
Dripping with cheese and sauce, with every bite,
Sweetly salty on the edge,
Fatty, sticky, pulling inside,
Infused with sensuality
Simply delicious.
Anthony Bourdain once said that eating pizza is the most sensual meal. You eat at ease, you know you’ll get dirty and no one will mind, and on top of that you eat something that is SO FUCKING DELICIOUS!
I’ll write about Fat Thursday and herring, which I’m still dragging out into February on a fishing rod, in my next post – so as not to prolong it. Stop by Osteria for a pick, and Fino for a tasting.
So (can you end with 'so’?) have a relatively successful Valentine’s Day!
And best of all, do Valentine’s Day every day. Your other halves deserve it.
ahoy and hello
