@thanny: boar salami as a starter, followed by gnocchi-like sardinian pasta called malloreddu with a sauce of onions, tomatos and bacon. then very thin beef stripes with dried mushrooms, and a salad. apples and pistachio icecream ended the dinner. a bottle of amarone for the main dinner, sauternes for the sweets. thanks to my father who brought me nice stuff from home, i also had the chance to show off very nice glasses (not exactly austrian crystal, but they were better than everyday stuff) including the nicest micro-tumblers i've ever seen for the dessert wine. i didn't even know such things existed, but they look fabulous.
nf: happy happy, i have no hangover. i'm flying to luxembourg this afternoon and hopefully i'm going to have a carefree week at the workshop, being able to focus on research stuff instead of the rough and tumble of the past two weeks. i'm a bit worried about the nightly banquets, because i don't want to end up being constantly drunk, especially because first item on the agenda is always dreadfully early in the morning.
