Oh yes, I had something like the perfect day last Monday. To begin with I had the day off and was feeling physically well after a very long time. I met an old friend who was in London for business in the morning, then had a very long walk, then went to the cinema and then found myself at this restaurant alone, menu in hand, just because of the poster on the wall: JUNE! LOBSTER MONTH. I am such an easy target sometimes.
I did call my partner to join me, who is a vegetarian, 99% of the year . He did come but did not try the lobster. I did. And it was delicious. But I must admit that it looked very cute and I found myself feeling a bit like Homer Simpson. And in reality it was not as delicious as the lobster I had in Crete 5 years ago, or the one my friend caught in 2003. It was a lobster that was designed to end up in my plate and that was a very sad thing to realize.
But I have no regrets. It was part of the almost perfect day Monday.
