Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, toasted sliced almonds, diced half banana; hot water. More housecleaning. Lunch at home by myself: leftover spaghetti in ragu with a few cherry tomatoes added because they needed to be used. Water to drink. Rode Muni to Golden Gate Park and walked along JFK Drive to see the various art pieces in the Golden Mile Project and listen to the musicians performing and to see the beer and wine garden and food trucks. I walked along Haight Street mostly window shopping then stopped in Ritual for a chai before walking the panhandle then riding Muni to meet Patrick for dinner at Sunset Reservoir Brewing Company (aka SRBC aka BEER): tequila with salt for Patrick, sunset sea man (tequila, coconut milk, pineapple agave syrup, pineapple, lime, coconut shavings) for me. Mains: adobo chicken tacos (three small ones) for Patrick, steak salad (medium) for me. The tacos were a bit spicy. All food and drink were delicious. My steak was correctly cooked as ordered. Service by Shade K was better than usual for this restaurant. We walked home. We watched YouTube: finishing Lara Downes and John McWhorter: An Evening with Scott Joplin via Classical California then watching a bunch of Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. Every song seems to have some delightful surprise in addition to the fantastic talent and perfect arrangements. Patrick went to bed. Late small meal: leftover steak salad, water.
