Start with two friends, one male, one female, who spent the afternoon at a Cobblestone wine tasting at the Berkely.
Add in a friend you haven't seen since before she ditched her boyfriend after a stay in jail from his third DUI.
Sprinkle in wine of all colors.
Agree that a foursome of men and women (two in relationships, two single) is the best pairing for substantial conversation.
Accept waiter's offer of a free round. Move from bar to table.
Mix in escargots, scallops and calamari and begin a conversation about the opposite sexes.
Fold in two kinds of ravioli and steaks with Gorgonzola.
Continue with discussion of unsatisfying relationships, women with trust issues and the joys/trials of being single.
Stir in chocolate mousse, grappa, 20-year old port, tequila and espresso.
Beat in talk of men who self-satisfy rather than pleasure their partners and the joys of morning sex.
Move from table to bar.
Include single malt scotch and additional wine, while suggesting manager remove his tie and coat and join the conversation.
Say goodnight to waiter and staff because they are leaving before we are.
Continue debating virtues of emotional versus physical satisfaction and hooking up with past loves.
Reluctantly bring conversation to logical conclusion after five hours: satiation of hunger, thirst and need to have both sexes in on analysis of love and sex.
Good night.
