Holiday. Slept in a bit. Late breakfast: medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and roasted almonds, diced half banana. Prepared for a doctor appointment. Weeded secured documents that were no longer needed. Walked and rode Muni to the doctor appointment, stopping at KFC for 8 chicken bites and a cup of plain water. I didn't count, but I'm pretty sure they gave me 9 instead of 8. The sauce I had was called KFC, which is confusing. I asked what KFC sauce was, and the worker was wearing a mask and had an accent I could not decipher, so whatever was said was indecipherable. I didn't bother asking them to clarify. I found out that it was a sweet mustard. Why not just call it sweet mustard? I stopped at the vaccine clinic and confirmed that I am not due for a covid booster—maybe in fall when the covid-flu shot becomes available. Walked to Kerry and Mom Ryan's place, meeting Patrick. Mom Ryan just got a new hearing aid and we tested her hearing skills. Not bad. Dinner at El Tucán: Patrick had super quesadilla with camaron and a mineragua, I had birria ramen. My dish included two loafs of ramen, deliciously tender birra, and chopped green onions and cilantro. It was notably too salty, so salty that I was unable to drink nearly all of the broth. I wished that there were an option to add shrimp. Patrick enjoyed his meal. I drank a cup of plain water. $33.85 after tax, no tip for counter service. Afterwards we visited Blush! but there was no band as we had expected. Frameline had closed Castro Street for an event, so likely there was no band because the loud event with megascreens and giant speakers would have drowned it out. We continued to Swirl and enjoyed a glass of sancerre each. Walked and rode Muni home. Edited a new blog post from Bernard at Recharge. Late snack: one pink lady apple.
