Look your lover in the face. Tell him or her why they’re the best, most gorgeous, most intelligent, inspiring person you’ve ever met.
Then dig into your mackerel or your malloreddus.

Jawdat Ibrahim, owner of the Abu Ghosh restaurant in an Arab village outside Jerusalem, is offering a 50 percent discount if everyone at the table turns off his or her cell phone.
