Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, toasted shaved coconut, diced pear; hot water. Spent the day preparing old hardware for selling and photographing other objects to sell or otherwise dispose of. Lunch at home with Patrick: leftover gumbo with rice, TJ's aloha rolls, water. Rode Lyft to dinner at The Rustic with Patrick: fritto misto to share (very crispy!), oxtail pappardelle and pinot grigio for Patrick, bolognese orecchiette and nebbiolo for me. Dessert to share: chocolate budino. All food and drink were delicious. Many of the wines are organic. $120 before a 20% tip. Afterwards Patrick rode Lyft home. I barhopped. While doing so, I encountered Jeff N and Chris N on the sidewalk outside of (I think) Beaux and we chatted a while, catching up. I continued barhopping, then rode Lyft home.
