Patrick went to assertive behavior class—a 2-full-day class offered at City College—today and next Sunday. Cleaned the house: vacuumed, laundry, dusted, rearranged furniture, filed papers, organized stuff in boxes, threw out rotting food, changed water in the orchid vases, repotted an orchid, washed dishes, showered. Went to Stonestown Mall, ate at California Crisp: pasta salad, cornbread, iced tea: $5.61. Went to Macy's, bought a gift for Corinna and Patrick's recent wedding. Stopped at Eppler's to pick up 4 petit-fours (US$1.25 each). Safeway for groceries. Cooked dinner and dessert: more recipes from 50 Ways to Feed Your Lover, the book that Melissa recommended to us. Martha Washington's Chicken Breasts. We always laugh when we hear the name of this recipe: "Martha, your chicken breasts are so juicy and delicious!" Smoked salmon quesadillas. Chocolate negrita with homemade Mexican vanilla whipped cream. Petit-fours from Eppler's. Chatted online with Travis, set up a weekend outing with him. Read Google News about the new Frank Gehry Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Today's SF Chronicle article by John King had the best photos and article.
