ooooh, big capers! salumi? So, is this turkish manti or afghanistani or..http://www.pierrelotiwinebar.com/union-square/mehttp://www.pierrelotiwinebar.com/nus.html

Yes, osso, I love big capers too. Can't wait to see what Sybil comes up with. I didn't know she had trained at Pierre Loti. And I thought I knew everything about Sybil. Looks like I'll have to add this to my list of restaurants to visit when I'm uptown.

Ilke's Turkish manti looks the most like Pierre Loti's.

How did you know, Beth how hungry I am?

Please be advised that Bernie named himself "house donkey" and tells everyone that I did it.

Lola is a battle ax.

That's an assertion Bernie and without supporting evidence is meaningless. We all think of Lola as a beautiful and fragrant lady of renown and estimable qualities whose radiance is sufficient to dim the sun. Not a few of us would brave a crocodile infested river for one gesture of her approval to mitigate our unworthiness to come into her presence.

@spendius,
Speak for yourself. Lola is at best with luminance sufficient to dim a hypernova. That's what happens when you bleach your teeth, you get high beams. Spendius, take note from Lola and see a dentist because when you smile, in all proper comparisons, your teeth makes a dry clump of black coal look shiny as a golden coin.

Be careful ID. You'll be getting stretch marks with comparisons like that.

@spendius,
You may pay no attention to the savage in the village but poking around an average microbe in that way is not advised to you, really,really well evolved microbe. I have the best interest for you, so care for a pas de deux? I can't promise we'll be presentable as televangelists who support themselves from the videos of protruding ribs of small kids.

@spendius,
It was Lola who reminded us that there is an abandoned and derelict old coffee-house just around the corner. Perhaps we could straighten it up, dust it off, give it a lick of paint, stick a large print of --

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Edouard_Manet_-_Olympia_-_Google_Art_Project_3.jpg

over the fireplace and one of Picasso's Ladies of Avignon in the gents and maybe we could give the upstart a run for its money. We could gossip about its clientele behind their backs and occasionally call in to check whether they are still losing ground to the zooming zeitgeist. We could be a mecca for 49ers' fans as well.

We could get a cylinder of compressed coffee beans being roasted aromas and pump it out of the front door. In the back room a range of unusual flavourings, such as rhododendron and camel dung, with which we could provide coffee from any location on earth no matter how exotic or how important it is to be known to consume.

@Lola,

Thank you Ice Demon and Spendius.........you two dancers, you. Splendid. The dances brought a tear, truly beautiful. I do love dance.

And all your suggestions about the cafe are apt and possible, except I suggest we do it here in this cafe. That other one is too sad.

Damn ! I slept very late and the change to Daylight Saving Time only made it worse. Lots going on here at the coffee house ! Blatham is back with characteristically well-crafted ambiguity and irony (house donkey has a fitting air). Spendius is in love with Lola (or at least sucking up with uncharacterstic ardor). Though it's true, Lola does glitter.

What is Turkish Manti? Is this the new threrad or the old one?

I'm waking up. May I have a coffee?

@ehBeth,

Once you've got that coffee down you, Sybil should have another plate of manti ready.

Manti is a baked, then poached, Turkish dumpling that is served with yogurt and tomato sauces and sweet paprika.

If you look at my I-phone, I can show you the pic I took earlier.

@georgeob1,

Yes, I slept late too and now it's almost evening.

House donkey is what Bernie named himself and told my daughters that I called him that. My middle daughter said, "Mon that's not nice!" When I explained that it was his name for himself, she was sceptical. Then I pointed out that it's not a name I would come up with on my own and she was convinced. That's what I mean, we all know that Bernie is prone to making stuff up from time to time.

But he is a house donkey, and a very good one too.

Is that like finish carpenter?

I'm ok on design but fail in the execution re good carpentry. I'd be surprised out of my shoes if Bernie isn't good at design.

Dammit Spendi. You and your alter ego post over here. This is too much work. You naughty. But then, I do seem to have a nice collection of naughties in my cafe at all times...........very nice.

Lola steps back and surveys the place. I'm pleased, very.

Incidentally--how much do you weigh? I wouldn't want what Steve Martin got at the end of The Man With Two Brains.

@spendius,
As long as you're not drunk, don't worry spendius. I weigh light as a snow flake compared to, say, the average obese American. Snow is more of my element but for this merde, I can make an exception.

@ossobuco,

It's like senior schlepper. Bernie is a gentleman and insists on doing all the heavy lifting. Very nice. But, yes, he's very creative in a way that I would find hard to duplicate. Very creative eye. But don't let him hear us talking like this, he'll get all embarrassed.

I know he knows buildings or is at the least alert to them, I was along with you two in San Francisco.

Ah, I was off on creativity re a house, and not the obvious who carries what part.

That doesn't matter, it's who trips on what that matters.

Bob had recently had the stroke.

Behind me, out the door from the cashier line, was Jjorge, a guy who to me is important forever. He was quiet. We left him alone at that bad portuguese restaurant, in the bathroom, while we caught taxis. I remember falling down the step, as is my way - at the restaurant, not the book store.
