Wed, June 25 - Euro Cup 2008 Semi-final

7.13am - June Gloom - der Himmel ueber LA..., after bootcamp.
8.05am - fried egg, buttered English muffin, avocado vinaigrette, at home
10.01am - pastry and fruit salad, at work.
13.09h - Chinese take-out from Hop Li (some fish, and some Chinese broccoli w/ rice), while watching the soccer semi-final between Germany and Turkey, at home, with Ritesh. Let me just add that we virtually never watch TV - in fact, we don't even have our TV connected to the cable. Only on very special occasions such as today do we connect it - this was only the second time all year (first one was the Oscars). We do watch DVD's but TV is mostly just a waste of time. Hey, I'm allowed to say, I WORK in TV.
13.38h - and Germany wins and makes it to the final!
13.43h - my fortune from the cookie above, and Lahm's decisive last minute goal, at home, with Ritesh.
14.24h - vanilla ice-cream sandwich, back at work, outside
19.51h - celebrating at Divino in Brentwood - not only did Germany make it to the Final, but we also got our annual bonuses at work. Not half bad. So this is a rice croquette filled w/ fontina cheese, and the green stuff I understand is basil-infused olive oil. With Ritesh.
19.54h - bread and olive oil and balsamico
19.57h - and more bread
20.04h - Ritesh picked this appetizer: eggplant w/ tomato, salad and prosciutto
20.16h - and this is my orecchiette w/ calamari and branzio which I think is sea bass, arugula and tomatoes. Nicest green pasta ever.
20.20h - Ritesh's pappardelle w/ braised ossobucco, also very, very good
