Mr. M asks for news.

Briefly:

Got to Milan yesterday evening and met ZMama, Ace and Semirabai. We went to the Duomo in the evening and eventually found a nice, hip establishment where he dined around 9 pm. The food was unbelievable - glass of champagne at the bar while we waited; salmon, swordfish and beef carpaccio antipasto; secondo piatto was baked lamb chops or veal medallions with artichokes, while ZMama had a primo homemade fetuccini with shrimp and porcini mushrooms. Washed down with a light chianti followed by a heavier cab, finished off with a heavenly green apple sorbet and petits fours.
