Innkeeper, you are right, we need a tongue-in-cheek icon; I was being as cheeky as you, and it appears we each failed in that department....

As for getting used to you, Randy: hey, if you beat yourself over the head with a hammer long enough, it can be difficult to stop, and you can grow to like it too....love the description of Strangers in the Night serenading in Italian. The last time I visited Friuli, a restaurant in Aqueleia, of all places, played songs of the nineteen fifties (alas, they were not in Italian and the fun was taken out of the experience, but the wine and seafood were, as usual, and as we used to say in Brooklyn, supoib).

I know the red hot feeling on the eye; happens to me everytime I cook with hot peppers and forget not to scratch my eyes, which is a nervous habit of mine....

And I still think the Merlot for linguini in "white" sauce was a bad idea, Rosengarten notwithstanding.
