Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted slivered almonds, toasted shaved coconut, blueberries; hot water. Worked from home. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Lots of listserv work all day. Weeded listservs to which I am subscribed. Lunch at home: leftovers, water. Edited an html email for Suzan and Eric. Rode Lyft to dinner with Patrick at DamnFine Pizza. We sat at the window two-top. Cocktails: Smokey Bandito (Conejos Mezcal, Brovo Jammy Sweet Vermouth, blackberry, rosemary, lemon, smoke) for Patrick, Cozy Town (Redemption Bourbon, Cointreau, warm spiced apple cider, cinnamon whip cream) for me. Appetizer: warm brussels sprouts salad (delicata squash, brussels, toasted almond, pancetta, shaved parmesan, honey balsamic vinaigrette). Main: we shared a figgy piggy pizza (figs, prosciutto, mozzarella, gorgonzola, basil, thyme, balsamic drizzle). Wine with the pizza: pecorino for Patrick, montepulciano (Bossanova, Abruzzo, Italy, 2021) for me. Dessert: we shared one scoop of chocolate gelato and one scoop of pistachio gelato. All food and drink and service by Allegra S were excellent. $125.51 before a 20% tip. Rode Lyft home. Afterwards we watched What We Do in the Shadows s5:e10 (season finale) on Hulu. We had watched e9 at some point after watching e8 on the 22nd but now can't recall exactly when.
