April 28, 2022 Lunch - East Ocean. Dinner - Brie cheese on toast and Chicken Pot Pie
I started out the day checking the market and correcting an error in a court setting and watching the market take off on a mighty upswing, especially in the tech sector that resulted in a 3% increase in the NASDAQ. It did not take my portfolio above the start point at the beginning of last year but it got close.
At 9:30 I ate a bowl of granola with milk and blueberries and yogurt.
Then I got ready for my book club meeting. Peter picked up Charlie and me at 11:30 and drove us to East Ocean for lunch where we were joined by Karl. Charlie ordered Mongolian Beef, Peter ordered sweet and sour Pork and I ordered Deep Fried Tofu with Mixed Vegetables.
After lunch we returned to my house and were joined by Keith for the meeting we talked until 3:30. I opened a bottle of De Ponte 2019 Reserve Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, which everyone liked. It had an wonderful bouquet and was incredibly smooth. I also put out a plate of chocolate chip cookies for the dessert.
After the meeting at 4:15 I lay down and napped until 5:15.
Suzette arrived around 5:30 and we rested and watched the news for a while. After she finished her cocktail she wanted to try the Pinot with some of the freshly aged brie from Isigney sur Mere. I toasted some slices of French bread and cut the rind of a wedge of brie. We loved the elegant wine with the perfectly aged brie.
A bit later Suzette heated the remaining chicken pot pie and we each ate a bowl of it with a glass of La Granja Viura/Verdejo Spanish white wine ($5.99 at Trader Joe’s).
Later I drank two cups of tea with three chocolate chip cookies.
We watched Midsomer Mystery and went to bed at 9:30.
The U.S. GDP for the first quarter was -1.4%. The world may be collapsing around us but we intend to maintain our comfortable life style.
I have lost some of my appetite and may be losing a little weight because I am feeling less pain in my joints.
Bon Appetit
