Rode Muni to UCSF Mission Bay. Breakfast at The Pub: egg and cheese on english muffin, a banana: about $4. Sharecase. Rode Muni to Powell Street Station with Eric and Richie. Met Patrick and Tina. Tina arrived in San Francisco today. Dinner at Samovar with Tina and Patrick. We shared: mini Moorish platter, ayurvedic tea service with masala chai, paleolithic tea service with blood orange pu-ehr tea, cacao mint tea. For dessert: caramel pot de creme, coconut rice pudding, assorted cookies. We all thought the pot de creme was the best of the three desserts. The ayurvedic tea service is very good. I slightly prefer the japanese tea service over the ayurvedic because it's a more complex meal in that there's a greater variety of different foods beautifully arranged. Patrick left for a petsitting stop. Tina and I shopped at H&M (Tina bought a jacket for $25), flagship Walgreen's, and UNIQLO (with the rainbow staircase) then rode Muni home.
