July 10, 2025, Lunch – Costco Hot Dog   Dinner – Sauteed steak, red beets, sweet and sour red cabbage, mushrooms, and onion

I ate granola with yogurt, milk, and blueberries for breakfast.

I worked until 11:40 and then drove to Shahin’s for an appointment with Mr. Hadi.

When the appointment ended around 1:00 I drove to Costco and ate a hot dog and then bought sugar, Spanish olive, and five bottles of wine, two Spanish Mencia reds, a Chateau Neuf du Pape, one other, and a Priorat.

When I returned home I watched the Market close and was pleased that on a down day my portfolio squeezed out a .004% gain thanks to NVDA and then took an hour nap.

We watched the highlights of the Tour de France Stage 6 that was won by an Irishman named Healy in a breakaway, which is highly unusual.

Then at 6:30 Suzette made a quick dinner with mostly PPI’s. I sliced 1/3 onion, three mushrooms and ½ of the remaining steak and Suzette added some of the sliced roasted beets, some diced asparagus,  and the PPI sweet and sour red cabbage made for the roasted duck several days ago.

We poured out the open bottle of Tenebres G.S.M. that went well with the dinner and later with pieces of Ghirardelli Blood Orange flavored milk chocolate that we ate while we sipped the last of our wine as we watched Midsomer Mystery.

Suzette went to bed at 9:30 and I stayed up to watch Foyle’s War and sip a Maison Serene cognac.

The sweetness of the red cabbage infused all the ingredients in the dinner sauté so that all the ingredients exuded its flavor. It was a wonderful new dish and one I hope we have again in the future.

Bon Appetit
