Usual oatmeal breakfast. Chatted with Nate on the phone. Flickr admin work: invited lots of photos to Fatal Website Errors. Fixed display problems with my journal and documented it for future reference. Downtime for my Mac Mini and frankfarm.org: 24 days. Whew! Lunch at home with Patrick: leftover cow stew with steamed rice. Napped. Dinner at home with Patrick, Chris, and Andy: organic herb salad with deep-fried rolled bacon, heirloom tomatoes, artichoke hearts, grilled mushrooms; Sicilian lasagna with mortadella, proscuitto, and boiled egg; Italian rustic bread; olive oil with oregano and balsamic vinegar; Red Dragon Somerdale cheese; Trader Joe's chocolate celebration cake topped with dark red chocolate covered cherries from Neiman-Marcus. Wine: Spanish Venta Mazzaron 2004 and two other wines. We talked about China, Anchee Min, landscaping, Short Bus, Harry Potter, microchips, good places to buy wine, Lassen Volcanic National Park, nude beaches in Hawaii, television, Food Network, British humor versus American humor, Medaglia d'Oro instant espresso.
