Slept in. I didn't have the energy to deal with crowds, so I watched the 45th Pride Parade on prideradio.com with Patrick. Rode Muni to Powell Street Station, walked to the Nikko. Drinks and dinner at ANZU: Sazerac for Patrick, champagne cocktail for me. Four-course dinner with wine pairing. Amuse bouche: Spicy Tuna Poke (avocado, shallot, tomato, sesame waffle cup). Spring Lettuce Salad (prosciutto, fried capers, carrot ribbon, lychee vinaigrette). For Patrick: Wild Mushroom Stuffed Mary’s Chicken (cannellini bean puree, grilled artichokes, carrots, mustard vin rouge). For me: Macadamia Nut Crusted King Salmon (Balinese black rice, jidori egg, sea grass, kizami wasabi beurre blanc). Dessert for both: Sweet Ginger Panna Cotta (fresh berries, lavender mint, plantain chip). Afterwards we saw Steven Brinberg's Simply Barbra at Feinstein's at the Nikko and enjoyed the show very much, including chatting with our seat neighbors. During the show we drank pineapple bays.
