Spot series - 4

This is how they end - the evenings that are worth it. With empty glasses, big smiles and a huge wish to start all over again. The dinner with the friend, the phone call from the other one, the arrival of a third, text messages, ring in the thumb, hand on the leg, penne with melon and prociutto, another bottle of wine, the shot of whisky for the strong ones (not me, I wish I could)...

Condition si ne qua non:

For me, a man has to have a sense of humor.

How many bottles until we tell all the stories of an old, almost lost, frienship?

Spot series - 1

I never lived out of São Paulo and I don't think I'm missing anything - there are some things that only happen here. Go out to dinner with a friend, who gets a phone call from another, who decides to join us and brings another one, who was close to people I love, but I only met recently and had no idea of the connections.

Suddenly you look at yourself, sitting at a great restaurant, with a wonderful view and sharing a table with close friends, new friends and some that disappeared for years and were only waiting for the best moment to make a re entrance in your life.

Riceless sushi

My favorite piece, the one I stole from Sushi Leblon and convinced a Kayomix sushiman to make for me. Cucumber on the outside, salmon and cream cheese in the inside. Everyone things it looks weird - a sushi whith no sea weed or rice??? - but everyone ends up loving it.

Some days ago the waitress made a mistake and delivered it to the wrong table, but the people there didn't want to give it back. If I hadn't stolen the recipe, I would start charging royalties.

Quick summer break in Ilhabela

I've heard it rained cats and dogs in São Paulo this week.

São Paulo? Where is this place????
