Usual oatmeal breakfast. Brunch at Slow Club with Chris, Nate, and Patrick. Slow basic for Chris and Patrick, Slow turkey hash for me and Nate. Hot water for me, coffees for everyone else. Coffee is very strong here. About $26 per couple after tip. Nate introduced us to Center Hardware which appears to be a very well run hardware store. Chris and Nate left to run errands. Patrick and I went home. Preparations for Thanksgiving. Online shopping. Archived documents. Organized stuff. Painted touch-ups for the walls. Lunch: grilled chicken and pesto sandwich with pickles for me. Patrick's stomach has been sensitive ever since he returned from China 4 days ago, so he didn't eat. Dinner at home with Patrick: spaghetti and meatballs, dinner roll and Smart Balance Light. After Patrick got back from China, he returned my camera to me, so I'm now taking pictures again. I recently uploaded my first photo to Flickr in about 3 months. I never did buy the new camera I wanted; I guess I don't really need it now that Patrick has come back early. We thought of a new name for the persimmon cinnamon coffee cake at brunch today: persinnamon coffee cake.
