Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you! After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations. Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy: What is a genuine friend? Is social media turning us into emotional zombies? Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them? Are we driven by sex? Is loneliness a personal failure? Is morality relative? **Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

Critical Theory Reading Group #5: Habermas, Public Sphere

Sunday Italian Gourmet Lunch 🇮🇹🍷 | Private Home & Garden
Sunday Italian Gourmet Lunch 🇮🇹🍷 | Private Home & Garden
**This Sunday we’re doing something special.** A **homemade Italian gourmet lunch** in a private home near **Plasky / Schaerbeek**, with a maximum of **10 lunch guests** for a warm, seated, convivial experience. Restaurant-style **quality**, family-style **atmosphere**. ## **What Makes It Special** The meats are sourced from the well-known **Roland Butcher in Ixelles**, respected locally for quality cuts. Several dishes are prepared using **Anova precision sous-vide cooking**: food is vacuum-sealed and cooked slowly at exact temperatures for tenderness, juiciness, and consistency, then finished with a proper sear in a **stainless steel pan** for flavour and crust. In short: old-school ingredients and traditions, modern technique, serious results. Nonna 2.0 *** ## **The Menu (Explained for Non-Italians)** ### **Antipasto (starter)** **Vitello Tonnato** A classic dish from Piedmont in northern Italy. Thin slices of cold veal topped with a silky tuna-caper sauce. Sounds unusual to some people, tastes excellent. **Italian Cheese & Charcuterie Board** Selection of cheeses and cured meats such as salami, prosciutto, and porchetta (slow-roasted seasoned pork). *** ### **Primo (first course - pasta)** **Homemade Gnocchi alla Sorrentina** Soft potato dumplings baked with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan. Paradise food from southern Italy. **Homemade Fettuccine with Lamb Ragù** Fresh ribbon pasta served with a rich slow-cooked lamb sauce. *** ### **Secondo (main course)** **Cotoletta alla Milanese** A Milan classic: breaded veal cutlet, pan-fried in butter until golden and crisp. **Brasato di Manzo al Red Wine** Beef slowly braised for 6 hours in red wine with vegetables and herbs until tender enough to surrender completely. *** ### **Contorni (side dishes)** **Homemade Mashed Potatoes with Black Truffle** Creamy mash finished with truffle. **Italian Salad** Fresh seasonal salad to balance the glorious excess. *** ### **Dolce (dessert)** **Homemade Strawberry Tiramisù** Italian layered dessert with mascarpone cream, coffee-soaked biscuits, and a fresh strawberry twist. *** ### **Drinks Included** 🍾 Prosecco 🍷 Wines: Lambrusco, Chianti, Barolo ☕ Espresso 🍋 Limoncello 🥃 Amaro *** ## **The Space** Private home with a **garden** where we can enjoy a drink in the sun (weather permitting), or move inside if Brussels behaves like Brussels. *** ## **After Lunch** Games and social afternoon: • UNO • Assassin • Undercover From **3 PM onward**, more vetted Club members can join, up to **20 total guests**. *** ## **Community Standards** **All members are vetted.** The host **personally** introduces newcomers so nobody is left awkwardly orbiting the room. **Zero tolerance for creepy or pushy behaviour. Immediate removal if needed. Some groups normalize nonsense. We don’t.** *** ## **Practical Info** • Lunch seats limited to **10** • Total after 3 PM capped at **20** • Exact address shared privately with confirmed guests • RSVP only if genuinely attending ## **Contribution** **€50 per lunch guest** A proper Sunday meal, proper company, proper standards. Rare combination.
