A Woman’s Sexual Appetite – by Gary S. Smolker

A Woman’s Sexual Appetite

I know a man who showed pictures of the dinner Veronica Prout, Johanh Phil Gustilo Cao and I had at my apartment Sunday, May 1, 2016 to his girlfriend.

His girlfriend immediately replied: “I am not going to have sex with you again, until you take me to a dinner party like that.”

Take away: Food is the key to a woman’s sexual appetite.

What A Beautiful Dinner

The dinner was created, eaten and enjoyed (Sunday, May 1, 2016) by Veronica Prout, and Johanh Phil Gustilo Cao.

They cooked a delightful seven course dinner in my apartment, which the three of us enjoyed immensely.

We finally finished “eating” dinner at 2:00 a.m.

Entree: Braised Eggs with Lamb, Portobello Mushroom with Asparagus

Drink: Star Anise infused Chilicano

Salad: Arugula Fennel Salad with Garlic Shrimp

Desert: Port Infused Meringue with Caramel Pudding, covered with Pistachios and Cashews

The final dish – braised eggs with lamb & sumac

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Finely Chopped Onion, Cloves of Garlic sliced thinly, Lamb Chops, Ground Cumin, Toasted Unsalted Pistachios, Toasted Pine Nuts, Harissa Paste, Finely Chopped Onion Peel, Cherry Tomatoes, Chicken Stock, Free-range Eggs, Cilantro Leaves, Salt (Himalayan Pink Salt Crystals) and Freshly Ground Pepper.

This concoction is Jerusalem fusion food at its very best.  It incorporates traditional elements that are purely Palestinian with ingredients characteristic of various Jewish cuisines, and puts them all together in a completely nontraditional way.

By the way, we also had Pistachio Saffron Ice Cream, a classic Persian treat, for dessert.

Original Menu

Our original menu was:

• Salad: Arugula, Fennel, Artichoke, Shaved Parmesan Cheese, Pomegranate Seeds, and Grilled Shrimp
• Soup: Melon Gazpacho with preschuito (???spelling)
• Protein: Braised Eggs with Lamb
• Vegetable: Portobello filet with Asparagus

We latter added: (a) prechuto (??spelling??) wrapped garlic shrimp as an appetizer, (b) Pistachio Saffron Ice Cream as a desert, and (c) a desert wine offering aromas of black cherry and fig with flavors of plum, cocoa and raspberry.

 

Conclusion

If a man makes an exciting sexy memorable dinner for the woman in his life he can reasonably expect a positive response.

If the woman asks him to take her out to dinner, if he doesn’t do so he should reasonable expect a negative reaction.

Good decision making is contingent on the ability to envision what comes next.

By the way: a losing hand/bad decision isn’t necessary a loss.  Rather, in poker and in life, it is an excellent experiment when you learn from it.

Life and poker are about using your bets and guesses/chips to gather information.

Poker is about using your chips to gather information faster than the other players.

Life is about using your experiences to gather information as fast as practical.

Good decision making is about envisioning what will happen next.

Even the smartest poker players can be undone by bad luck.

Probabilities can help you forecast likelihoods, but they can’t guarantee the future.

The paradox of learning how to make better decisions is that it requires developing a comfort with doubt, with less than a perfect confidence level.

Most of our most important decisions are, in fact, attempts to forecast the future.

Good luck.
