WUBC’de favori i\u00e7kisi bira olup, \u00f6zellikle 208 numaral\u0131 odada viski sevdi\u011fini anlasak da, HBW’de tart\u0131\u015fmas\u0131z olarak viski olsa da, WSC’de bu durumu g\u00fczel bir \u015fekilde a\u00e7\u0131klar: “Yazlar\u0131 bira, k\u0131\u015flar\u0131 viski i\u00e7erim.” WUBC ve WSC’de kar\u0131s\u0131n\u0131n titizli\u011finden dem vurur.

“Shall we have some wine?” she said.
\n “Why don’t you choose,” I said. While she discussed the selection with the waiter, I gazed out at the plum tree. A plum tree growing at an Italian restaurant seemed somehow incongruous. But perhaps not. Maybe they had plum trees in Italy. Hell, they had otters in France.
\n Having settled on an aperitivo<\/i>, we opened our menus. We took our time making our selections. First, for antipasti<\/i>, we chose insalata di gamberetti alle fragole, ostriche al vivo, mortadella di fegato, sepie al nero, melanzane alla parmigiana, and wakasagi marinata<\/i>. For primi<\/i>, she decided on a spaghetti al pesto genovese<\/i>, and I decided on a tagliatelle alla casa<\/i>.
\n “How about splitting an extra maccheroni al sugo di pesce<\/i>?” she suggested.
\n “Sounds good to me,” I said.
\n “What is the fish of the day?” she turned to ask the waiter.
\n “Today we have fresh branzino<\/i>–that’s suzuki<\/i>,” pronounced the waiter, “which we steam in cartoccio<\/i> and sprinkle with almonds.”
\n “I’ll have that,” she said.
\n “Me, too,” I said. “And for contorni, spinaci<\/i> and risotto al funghi<\/i>.”
\n “Verdure cotte<\/i> and risotte al pomodoro<\/i> for me.”
\n “I think you will find our risotti<\/i> quite filling,” the waiter spoke up, a bit uneasily.
\n “Maybe so, but I’ve barely eaten in days, and she’s got gastric dilation,” I explained.
\n “It’s a regular black hole,” she confirmed.
\n “Very well,” said the waiter.
\n “For dessert, I’ll have granita di uva, crema fredda, suffl\u00e9 al limone,<\/i> and espresso<\/i>,” she added before he could get away.
\n “Why not–me too,” I said.<\/div>\n

I glanced over the wine list and chose a crisp white wine, and for hors d’ooeuvres p\u00e2te de canard, terrine de dorade,<\/i> and foie de baudroie \u00e0 cr\u00e8me fraiche<\/i>. After an intensive study of the menu she ordered potage tortue, salade verte,<\/i> and mousse de sole<\/i>, while I ordered potage d’oursin, roti de veau avec garnie persil<\/i>, and a salade de tomate<\/i>. There went half a month’s salary.<\/div>\n
