Vacation day 1 of 30. Ran in place to various YouTube videos. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, roasted and unsalted slivered almonds, cacao nibs, flax meal, diced half banana; water. Recharge work: website and forms: add AB1278 notice. Small bite: leftover mandalay special noodles, water. Listed items online to sell or give away. Small bite: leftover carrot and mushroom bolognese with fettucine, water. All morning Patrick prepped ingredients for making gumbo, which we're taking to Chris and Andy's place to make dinner. While we made gumbo, we enjoyed old fashioneds, sliced apple, cheddar, and candied pecans. The gumbo included a level ice cream scoop of white rice and chicken and andouille sausage that was not too spicy for me. We started cooking around 3:00 p.m. and finished around 7:00 p.m. We had a salad of arugula, parsnips, and sliced dates. The gumbo was served with red wine and home-bake francese rolls and butter. For dessert, a pear and cranberry crisp. A fine evening.
