May 28, 2025 Breakfast - chocolate Croissant and a latte Macchiato. Lunch with Suzette at Garcia’s   Dinner at Debbie’s with Melissa and Ruth

We woke at 7:00 and I decided to walk and Suzette said she would join me, so we each drank a latte macchiato and I ate a chocolate croissant and we then walked a mile to the country club and back.  

We worked until 11:30 and then drove to Garcia’s on Central for a New Mexican lunch. Suzette ordered a chili Relleno and a side of sour cream. I ordered a carne adovado plate with double beans and corn tortillas.

We loved our dishes.  We ordered two more corn tortillas and I ate three tortillas filled with carne adovado, beans, and lettuce and onion. Suzette ate two tortillas filled with carne and there was still enough left to take home for a lunch.

We returned home around 12:30 and I worked on the LRGA.  Texas, NM, Colorado, and the U.S. apparently are settling their Supreme Court case over water delivery obligations on the Rio Grande, which may stay the appeal of the U.S. rights in the LRGA.

Then around 1:30 something amazing happened. Apparently President Trump said no AI chips could be exported to China. Nividia stock that was up $2.50 at the time began to fall precipitously and ended down $.69 at the close, as did most other stocks..

Then after the closing bell Nvidia announced its earnings for the first quarter.

It announced a write down of revenue of $4.5 billion to account for the lost revenue from sales of chips to China, but it also reported that its revenue for the quarter was over $44 billion, an increase from $39 billion last quarter and a 70% increase from the first quarter a year ago.

Nvidia stock immediately began to climb and when we went to dinner at 5:45 was up over $5.00. I felt sorry for those people who sold Nvidia at a $.69 loss at the end of the session at the end of that rapid over $3.00 slide.

If that Nvidia gain holds in tomorrow’s trading the three days this week will resemble a roller coaster. Up Tuesday,down Today, and up big tomorrow.

There is no way to predict this market. All one can do is try to enjoy the roller coaster ride.

At 4:30 I meditated and at 5:00 I added some minced parsley to the tabouli to give it some lift.

We the grabbed a bottle of Italian red wine and the tabouli and drove to Debbie’s new house in High Desert. It is a beautiful house with wonderful views of the Sandias.

When we arrived there was a platter of boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce. I opened the 2022 Barbero di Asti wine I bought at Trader Joe’s. It is a light red that goes with almost everything, including boiled shrimp in cocktail sauce.

We toured the house and admitted the view and I watched as Debbie prepared the salami, cheese, and arugula Calzone for dinner.

Debbie also prepared a salad of gourmet green and Italian sweet pepper slices and dressed it with Italian dressing.

Melissa and Ruth were also dinner guests. We talked and nibbled until 9:00 and then we all departed, with the commitment to join together next Tuesday night for dinner at Le Troquet.

We drove home and went bed.

I think I have fully recovered from my illness.

Bon Appetit
