Breakfast: granola with yogurt and red grapes, one pint of hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Sprint standup. Styling work. Processed an incoming image for Nadav. Lunch: one murcott, some roasted, unsalted pistachios, water. Siteimprove Academy training: Began the SEO learning path. Rode Uber Pool to the Mission. Met Patrick for couples counseling. Walked with Patrick to the Mission for dinner at Dancing Yak (415-525-4857, 280 Valencia Street). Cocktails: Hola! Namaste (vida mezcal, tamarind sauce, lime, agave, Himalayan salt rim) for Patrick, Yak and Yeti (el jimador tequila, fresh ginger, mint syrup, lime juice, basil seed) for me. We shared chicken momo with tomato and roasted soybean sauce on the side, pani puri, Dancing Yak khichidi, and onion naan. Food was variously spicier than we were promised, but I ate it anyway. The chicken momo dumplings have a bit of broth inside similar to xiao loong bao, but they contain more filling. The pani puri are crisp, thin shells filled with potatoes, sprouts, and spices and served with a sweet and tangy water. The khichidi is a dish made with rice, lentils, spices, and roasted cauliflower. We liked the food and drink, and service by Ningma was very good. $72.86 before a $12 tip. Rode UberX home.
