Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself a two-egg breakfast burrito with grated mixed cheeses and sour cream, hot water. Marble countertop and slate tile floor repair in both lower level bathrooms with epoxy and dye. Attempted to clean minor grout stains in the primary bathroom, but the tile and grout cleaner I used did not seem to do anything. Applied carnauba wax to a wood putty fill in a hardwood floor crack in the living room, as recommended by Galen. The fill did darken, but only halfway to what we need. Patrick and I walked to lunch with Hap at Wooden Spoon: Hap had hangtown fry (folded eggs, bacon, fried oysters, cornbread, fresh herbs), Patrick had soft scrambled eggs (with smoked salmon, mascarpone, arugula salad, fruit, potatoes, dill creme fraiche), I had a smoky paloma and house hash (with sunny side egg, short ribs, potatoes, spinach, pickled vegetables, whole grain mustard cream). Afterwards Patrick and I said goodbye then got groceries at Whole Foods and walked home. Later, dinner at home with Patrick: bean, cheese, and arugula quesadillas with guacamole. Cocktails: margarita variant. We watched The Sandman s2:e5 on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
