Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, toasted slivered almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Patrick and I rode Lyft to Deluxe Queer and Sae Coffee Studio's Coffee Pairing Brunch: Bloody Mary Panzanella (heirloom tomato, bloody mary vinaigrette, country loaf croutons, paired with: coffee spritz); Breakfast Porridge (shiitake stock, soy-marinated egg, millionaire's bacon, miso burst tomatoes, gochujang squash, paired with: coffee lemonade); Fancy Toast (shokupan, cherry lime butter, coffee caramel, five-spice peach compote, paired with: pour-over coffee); Yuanyang Parfait (coffee gelée, coconut milk tea). We met and enjoyed the company of Jeremy, Derek (sp?), Paolo, Lucie, Brendan, and Freddy, among others. We again enjoyed everything we ate and drank and all the company and hosts. A parting gift: a bag of Steep Hill Foods 567 granola (perfect nut). Rode Lyft home. Relaxed. Vacuumed. We continued playing Myst III: Exile but made no progress. Later: dinner at home with Patrick: jazzed-up frozen pizza, water. I helped prepare. Afterwards we watched The Hidden Lives of Pets s1:e1 on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes.
