Staycation day 16 of 16. Slept in. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted and slivered almonds, diced half banana; water. Lunch by myself at Viet Quan (415-682-8200, 1757 Taraval Street): #20 (well-done beef and rare beef noodle soup with ho fun), side of imperial roll, hot tea. At 12:45 p.m. on a Sunday this place was busy. I waited about 12 minutes and received the only two-top table; there is no counter seating. There was a misunderstanding about my order since I had also ordered a regular order of imperial rolls to go at the end of my meal, and it took some effort to resolve, but it didn't bother me. All was delicious, and I left satisfied and with the extra imperial rolls. People on Yelp complain about the somewhat higher prices, but they seemed normal San Francisco prices to me, and there isn't another Vietnamese restaurant nearby within walking distance so I think it's justified. At home Patrick ate the imperial rolls. He helped me with a project to finally move the charging station from the bedroom to the living room after we had rearranged furniture in the bedroom a few months ago. Dinner at home with Patrick: together we prepared lemony quinoa-brown-rice-corn linguine with arugula and proscuitto. Patrick washed most of the dishes. Afterwards we finished watching Church Basketball Player from Tennessee - Nate Bargatze: Comedy Central Presents - Full Special on YouTube via Comedy Central Stand-Up then we watched The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power s1:e3 on Amazon Prime Video then the Mandalorian Season 3 teaser. Patrick went to bed. I washed the remaining dishes.
