Had trouble sleeping last night. Woke to Patrick's report of an ant problem. He saw only two yesterday and a lot more today. I set four liquid baits that we had had remaining from a previous invasion. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, diced half banana, leftover diced half red mango; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to Mission Dolores and happened upon and entered two open houses. We did not like either very much. We stopped at Dolores Park Cafe for beverages before visiting with Kerry and Mom Ryan a while. Patrick and I walked to dinner at Teakwood: Drinks: milk tea for Patrick, ginger beer for me. We shared: tea leaf salad, platha, coconut chicken curry, coconut rice. $87.83 before a 15% tip. All food and drink were delicious. The food was a bit spicy, but I was able to handle it. The dipping sauce for the platha seemed to be identical to the sauce in the coconut chicken curry. Jorge L was our server, and service was mostly good. We walked to SFJAZZ for a performance by Stella Heath. It was our first time sitting in Henderson Lab. All the other times we visited SFJAZZ we have always sat in Miner Auditorium. Many of the songs were in French, which we loved and did not expect. We enjoyed the show very much. Rode UberX home.
