January 14, 2026 Breakfast - Granola. lunch - Leftover Chirashi  Dinner - Pasta with a sautéed Vegetables, sausage, and Chicken in a Mornay Sauce and steamed green beans

I had a slow start. I watched the news and drank 1 1/2 cups of water.  Then at 9:00 I ate a chocolate croissant with a latte macchiato.

Then I began working at my desk. I had two long calls with coients and then started reading files Bill Turner gave me.

At 1:00 I ate the leftover Chirashi from yesterday’s lunch at Tamashi.  Then at 2:15 I drove to El Super to replenish the produce. I bought lemons, limes, a pineapple, a papaya, an orange bell pepper, parsley, oranges, a mango, tomatoes, avocados, beets, sour cream, vinegar, and green beans.

I rushed home and arrived at 3:30 just in time to meditate.

Then at 4:25 I walked around the block to help get me to about 3800 steps for the day.

When I returned from the walk I picked sorrel, sage, and oregano in the garden for our pasta dinner.

As soon as I walked Suzette was ready to cook dinner, so I chopped 1/3 onion, a zucchini, 1/2 of the orange bell pepper, four portobello mushrooms, four cloves of garlic and the sorrel, sage, and oregano, while Suzette deboned the roasted chicken from Costco and started the bones cooking to make a stock and put about 1/2 lb. of Jimmie Dean sausage in a skillet and sautéed the vegetables.

Then she snapped and steamed the green beans, boiled pasta, made a Mornay sauce with cheddar cheese, sautéed the vegetables and grated Pecorino-Romano cheese and minced parsley to garnish. At one point Suzette was cooking on five burners on the stove.

While Suzette cooked I went to the basement and brought up three bottles of wine, a 2014 Orvieto Classico, a Hermann Weimer dry rose, and a Red Newt Bullhorn Creek Vineyard.

We opened the Orvieto and poured it and we agreed that it had gone to sherry and was undrinkable, so I opened the Bullhorn Creek and it was delightful, slightly sweet but with a nice balance of fruit and acidity.

The pasta was delicious with lots of chunks of sautéed sausage and I loved the steamed haricot vert.

I am trying to lose weight so only ate one bowl of pasta.

Later we watched a Netflix movie titled Le Dolce Villa and tried to fill in the Icici application. We went to bed at 10:00 but I got up to record my portfolio’s loss today. I was surprised it was only .8% when the NASDAQ was down 1%.

Bon Appetit
