At restaurants, if San Pellegrino sparkling water is unavailable, my beloved wife usually orders bottles of both sparkling and still water to mix, to get gentle bubbles (fizz ma non troppo, alike San Pellegrino sparkling water).

Acqua minerale effervescente naturale.

'Diavola' ('Devil') is spicy but 'La Bomba' ('The Bomb') is next level:
passata di pomodoro | mozzarella | bocconcini di latte di Bufala | formaggio | gorgonzola dolce | salamino piccante | peperoncino | tabasco
(purée de tomates | mozzarella | boules de mozzarella au lait de bufflonne | fromage | gorgonzola doux | salami piquant | piment/chili | tabasco)

Caution: wet eyes and possibly some 'animated' bowl movement - kinda sorting out the men/women from the boys/girls. :D

Mine will likely be somewhere between the two. I like to make the devil cry.

Catch & Eat

Outstanding deep sea fishing last Sunday with ole Navy friends off far-side of Santa Catalina island [~80 nm from SoCal coastline].

Overall, catches not too shabby for a 1-day excursion.
Personally pleased with my haul - - scored California Yellowtail, White Seabass, Rockfish…one bud shared a prodigious Bluefin Tuna.

Finally today, chance to prep, partake, enjoy 😋
  • Fresh blackened Bluefin
  • Spicy Cajun style rice
  • Roasted asparagus

Stay tuned for my "Eternal Regrets" pizza this evening. My dough is currently out of the freezer, thawing and rising. All ingredients have been selected. Safety goggles, Nomex gloves and fire extinguisher on stand-by. It will be one for the books. :D
