Day 8 of a cold. Slept in. Walked to lunch at Smile House Cafe: egg noodle soup with pork and shrimp dumplings. I realized too late that by default this dish doesn't come with any vegetables beyond a few tiny green onions. My other important realization about this cafe is that the menu is huge and overproduced. Got a few groceries from Safeway for Patrick. Walked home. Began preparing my 2012 iMac for sale. Bought Parted Magic for $11 because I wasn't sure if Apple was really correct about not needing to sanitize your SSD before you sell your computer, and then it wouldn't mount or copy correctly due to error: "no mountable file systems" so I sent them a support request. Dinner at home with Patrick: Patrick prepared a test gumbo today which was based on recipes from both Antoine's and Brennan's. Late snack: macaroni salad.
