A man moderate in everything, he makes love to his wife on Wednesdays and Saturdays-with an optional encore on Wednesday. She thinks she is content, until she enters her bedroom and finds Vadinho stretched out naked. The next morning he parades unclad about her cooking class-invisible except to Dona Flor but capable of exerting physical pressure on the breasts of an astonished student.
