...price of all these sauces, you also get spaghetti, sourdough bread with plain or garlic butter, salad, coffee, and spumoni ice cream.

...lost its charms. Threatening snow and chilly wind strung their cheeks as they walked through the Yard. Dinner was the answer to the cold. What to eat? Everyone had steak last night. How about chicken? No, everyone eats chicken on Sunday. Ah spaghetti and a bottle of chanti with spumoni for desert. Perfect. Menu settled, they lean forward in intimate friendship...
