Let's Go Cook...

ITALIAN. O.K., so Jimmy Z and MS, I have a proposal to make to you two: IF any of the three of us wins our poker points tournament and IF that person makes, say, more than $100,000 in the WSOP event, that person takes the three of us on a cooking/eating/drinking adventure to Italy. Hmmm... How could we set this up? Wait, how about we simply join a Let's Go Cook Italian already-set up adventure? Yes!

I've gotten to know Diane DeFilip (see pic), who owns and runs Let's Go Cook Italian. Man, this sounds SO fun. She leads three cooking excursions to Italy--one to Tuscany, the other to Rome. The 2009 dates are:

Sept 19 - 24: Tuscany

Sept 26 - Oct 1: Tuscany

Oct 3 - 8: Rome

The trips include all sorts of breakfasts, lunches, cooking classes, etc. And deluxe accommodations, including in Rome at the Villa Campestri and in Rome at the Duke Hotel.

Guys, what do you say: are we "on"? Italy, cooking, eating, drinking.... Why, those Europeans also are big smokers -- we can probably light up the cigars right there after dinner!
