Breakfast: Patrick and I walked to Thorough Bread and Pastry. Patrick had a pastry. I had a ham and cheese croissant. Latte for both. We also purchased two baguettes for today's gathering. Walked home. We prepared for the gathering. Patrick mostly cooked, and I mostly cleaned. While on the patio I encountered our neighbor and chatted briefly with her. While on the balcony I encountered Bill and Todd walking a dog down the street and we talked briefly. Web edits for Tina's website. Housewarming #2. In attendance: Emery, Scott, Andy, Pang, Galen, Brendon, Sonny, Andrew, Mark, Tommy, Josh, Sheening, Hap, Martin, Gray, Tin, Drew, Keith B, Monty, David, Tony, Tadija, Jeff, Christopher, Ken, and Keith R. Much fun was had. Patrick prepared and served: red beans with tasso and andouille, long-grain rice, french bread, muffuletta wedges, pickled okra, creamy pralines, chocolate-bourbon truffles. Afterwards Patrick and I cleaned then rested. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover red beans and rice and sliced French bread, hot water. We rested. Patrick went to bed. Brief Facetime chat with Dex. Web edits for Tina's website.
