January 26, 2024 Lunch - East Ocean. Dinner - Hamburger steak, corn on the cob, and green beans
I had a great breakfast, a cup of cafe au Lait and a heated Chocolate Crepe. It energized me through lunch. That may be my favorite breakfast ever.
At 11:30 I met Robert for our usual lunch at East Ocean, deep fried tofu with Mixed Vegetables and rice. I love this dish and a menu order is sufficient to satisfy both of us. The vegetables include onion, bok Choy, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, carrot, bamboo shoots, baby corn, and water chestnuts.
After lunch I drove to Smith’s on Carlisle to shop for groceries. I bought blueberries, romaine tomatoes, blueberries, avocados, chicken thighs, bacon, ground beef, oysters, a pimento cheese spread, a French Rondel veggie cheese spread, a triple cream brie, duck pate mousse, cookies, and yogurt.
I then drove to Bill Turner’s for a conference and finally returned a book to the library before going home.
After I unloaded the groceries and then at 3:30 walked around the block. I felt good but tired after the walk.
Suzette was at home when I returned and we watched the Ari on the beat. The big news of the day was the $83.3 million judgment against Trump in the Jean Carroll defamation case in NY.
The other political issue was Trump ordering the Congressional representatives to vote against the bill-partisan immigration bill to deal with the issues on the border, so the Republicans can make lack of action on immigration an issue in the 2024 election.
We decided to sauté hamburgers and serve them with boiled ears of corn and green beans.
Suzette prepped dinner tonight. The 80% leaned beef hamburgers were great but the corn was tough and some of the green beans had gone bad.
Before dinner we each toasted a piece of bread and spread it with some of the pimiento cheese spread I bought at Smith’s today and ate it with a glass of Olarra Spanish Rioja Reserva red wine as a snack.
After dinner we watched a crazy movie titled Rose Island about an Italian Engineer who built a steel platform in international waters of Rimini, Italy in 1968, for which he obtained sovereign recognition by the Council of Europe as a country, but which was ultimately destroyed by the Italian government.
Suzette went to bed after the movie but I stayed up to watch the last two episodes of Ken Burns history documentary on the Life of Ben Franklin and some more news and wrote this blog.
Bon Appetit
