Breakfast at home with Patrick (I cooked): cocoa french toast, sliced fresh pear and organic strawberries, leftover chocolate banana bread, orange juice for me, carrot juice for Patrick. Read A List Apart: Custom DTDs. Lunch: ginger lemonade and organic strawberry juice blend, fusilli with stir-fried yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, zucchini, corn, green onions, shallots, rosemary, parsley, red pepper spread, organic chicken broth. Patrick was fooled again by an item at Trader Joe's which isn't clearly labelled as spicy. This time it was the red pepper spread with eggplant and garlic. He missed seeing the small woodcut chili peppers on the label as well as my favorite "watch out—it's spicy!" keyword on the back: zesty. We picked up a DVD in West Portal, thought about getting ice cream or sorbet, but instead got frappuchinos at Starbuck's. Mine was mocha mint, Patrick's was caramel light. Did some sunbathing, which isn't easy at our place—the space isn't great for it—but I managed to make it work. I so enjoy it but rarely get to do it here in SF. Patrick did more schoolwork, chatted with his mom on the phone. I read from Fresh Men: New Voices in Gay Fiction, finishing it. Dinner at home with Patrick: walnut pesto pig chops, homemade potato chips with sea salt, peas. Worked on Corinna's web project. Watched Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace on DVD.
