Breakfast: leftover veggie stir-fry with rice; cottage cheese with blackberries, sliced banana, and roasted and slivered almonds; hot water. Midday, Patrick and I walked to a dinner party at Gray and Martin's. It was a feast, really. Sangak with some kind of dairy-based dip with chickpeas, grilled broccolini, pesto radiatore, charred mushrooms, short ribs, matcha basque cheesecake with strawberries, cherry almond frangipane tart. Everything was delicious, and we enjoyed all the company, which (I think?) included Gray, Martin, Drew C, Tin D, Tim, Monty H, David, Keith B, William, Keith R, and Ken. Walked home. Patrick and I walked to dinner at Delfina with Paolo and Lucie: spring sformato, insalata di campo, two spring onion pizzas (one gluten-free), two glasses of Edoardo Dottori Collebianco, verdecchio, pappardelle and duck sugo, sparkling water. At the end of our meal our server brought us a complimentary dish: parmesan rind gnocchi with truffle. All food, drink, and service were excellent. Walked home. I was late for Facetime chat with Lani and Dex.
