Evening Social Life

March 26, 2009 There appears to be some interest in what I've had to eat and where I ate it.

This requires a small confession.  I have been walking with two canes this week (I have rheumatoid arthritis and a bad back -- nothing life-threatening, but pretty painful), and after being mostly on my feet all day, I have given up table dancing.

There is a new (to me) a place called Hosteria degli Usberti. Food is good and the pasta is excellente! Tortelli alla panna to die from. Best of all, it's around the corner from the Palace. Been there twice, once with Tim D and Nancy and once with Ulrich Stoeriko-Blume, a pal from RH days. I ate by myself one night, a pizza capriciosa and a bottle of acqua frizzante, while I reviewed notes and did some blogging.

Last night was the Dutch party--the usual sedate affair--where I was actually able to enter three rooms. The 5000 guests must have been the smallest turnout in years. Talked with Markus Weber, Klaus Humann and others, left, had a crema gelato at Gianni and went to bed. The usual fair exhaustion.
