Labor holiday. Pre-breakfast: granola with yogurt and blueberries, one pint of hot water. Walked and rode Muni to Cole Valley with Patrick. We had intended to brunch at Zazie. We put our names on the list and then walked to La Boulangerie and ate there instead. Ham and swiss cheese Parisian omelette with pommes tots with coffee for Patrick; egg, bacon, and white cheddar sandwich on brioche for me. The pomme tots are notable for being unusual; I haven't seen or tasted them anywhere else. They are made of potato, but the texture is soft and almost airy, like a pillow, with a slight crispness in only one spot. About $27. We returned to Zazie to cross our name off the list and found that we still wouldn't've been seated yet. Rode Muni to the Castro for some shopping but didn't buy anything. Rode Muni home. Nap for me. Dinner at home with Patrick: sausage and green pepper pizza. Dessert: Patrick had ice cream with almonds, I had two strawberry Twizzlers. Resolved more broken links for Lodestar. Watched The Expanse s1:e3 on Amazon Prime Video with Patrick. Edited childhood photos that I had scanned earlier. Late snack: Annie's mac and cheese made in a cup in the microwave, water. The mac and cheese was okay, but since it didn't taste like Kraft mac and cheese I won't buy it again. One Twizzler.
