"Of course one should not drink much, but often." — Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

I have tried to do what is true and not ideal.

The harmony of the luncheon is achieved by a combination of the two main courses which are the focus of the menu.

Never be tempted by water. The water tap should be sealed at lunchtime. If, for example, a sauce goes wrong, adding water doesn't help at all; one only achieves a taste of dishwater.

The cafes bore me; going downstairs is a nuisance. Painting and sleeping - that's all there is.
