Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself one egg over easy with rosemary powder and basil chiffonade, grilled vegetables with Spice Ace herbes de provence, one hash brown with ketchup, one slice of poppy seed bread with butter (toasted), one pint of hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Various task followup. Siteimprove work: created new policies. Archived old photos in The Archive. Walked and rode Muni to the Castro. Walked to dinner at Il Casaro (415-875-9421, 235 Church Street) with Patrick and Chris D. We shared smoked burrata (with oven-roasted cherry tomato, arugula, bread), farro salad (with charred corn, green beans, cherry tomatoes, roasted peaches), and prosciutto pizza (with tomato sauce, mozzarella, prosciutto San Daniele, arugula, parmesan). Food was excellent. Patrick also had a chinotto which we found to have an interesting taste—citrus but bittersweety. Afterwards we visited Last Rites, Chris's first time there, second for Patrick and me. Chris had a Perfect Daiquiri (proprietary blended Mosswood Day rum, dry vermouth, Antica sweet vermouth, lime, sugar). Patrick had a Cadmael (bourbon, pineapple cordial, lemon, orange, pilsner). I had a Zombie Killer (exotic rum blend, lime, coconut, pineapple, grapefruit, falernum, and absinthe). Drinks were delicious. Patrick's included a smoldering stick of rosemary. Rode UberX home.
