Walked and rode Muni with Patrick to the Castro. Brunch with Patrick at Kitchen Story. We shared ricotta hotcakes (served with mixed berries, Vermont maple syrup, honey butter, $14) and a millionaire's benedict (millionaire's bacon, asparagus, tomato, meyer lemon hollandaise, $20). Patrick had coffee ($3.50). Water for both. $42.32 before an $8 tip. Food was delicious. Service by Ake was very good. The restaurant was packed and extremely noisy. Afterwards we ran errands. I stopped at a new garden shop called Plant Therapy in which every plant looked perfect. Then I bought some orchid supplies at Ace Hardware. We walked and rode Muni home. I napped awhile. Cocktails and snacks: gin variation of a Mr. 404, salted sunflower seeds, unsalted peanuts. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers from last night. Finished listening to NPR's Strange Fruit Billie Holiday report. Watched part of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix DVD with Patrick and popcorn. Afterwards we watched part of Moving Art s1:e2 (Flowers). Recharge Medical web work: updated the flu vaccine blog post, edited new Mailchimp campaigns, updated the botulinum toxin blog post.
