Slept in. Brunch: leftovers. House chores. For a pre-dinner cocktail I created on the fly a cocktail that we both think is perfect. It's two parts creme de cacao, one part whipped cream vodka, and about 5 parts black cherry soda (I used Zevia). I shook the alcohols with ice, poured the result into glasses, then topped it with the soda, then added more ice. I call it a cherry cordial cocktail. Dinner at home with Patrick: chicken braised in peach and champagne vinegars with mashed potatoes. Did more editing of Patrick's prologue to his forthcoming novel throughout the day after he made revisions. Edited and privately uploaded photos: SFMOMA.
