Or you can look on Amazon.
When you get there, click on ‘look inside’ and you can actually find the bit about the lead up to their meeting, but it cuts off by copyright just before the dinner party.

Good guess.
I don`t know what the Latin is for nitrous oxide.
Biggus Dickus is about the limit of my Latin comprehension, I fear.

Are not holidays the holy-days?

To clarify, Frank,
I guess you are making an allusion to In Vino Veritas…in wine is truth…
Nitro in Latin does not mean dark – means salt?

Isn’t that called a ‘holiday’, Shantam?! I’m having one now, which is why I haven’t been around here for a while.

Another kind of fasting for purifying the inner software is to go away from everyday life and spend few days or weeks in a retreat.

Masses of tourist going to sunny islands come back home with some freshness.

Yeah, breaking the fast can be hard for beginners. But perseverance and taking it slowly pays off.

I learned how to break a 3 day fast slowly, but it does take a lot of patience.

I never tried the 5:2 diet, I think that is designed for people to lose weight.
