December 12, 2025 Lunch - Smoked Trout Salad. Dinner - PPI Enchiladas 

I awakened from 1:00 to 4:30 a.m. and read the New Yorker and then slept until 8:30. Today was a terrible day in the stock market. My portfolio lost 1.5% as tech stocks were sold off because Broadcom sold off.

I did not eat breakfast but at 12:30 I added a diced tomato, 1/2 of an avocado sliced, a handful of spinach and 1/4 red onion sliced thinly with the new Japanese knife we bought in Kyoto to the lovely composed smoked trout salad Suzette made two nights ago with butternut squash, asparagus, lettuce from our garden, and a sliced hard boiled egg.

I also toasted three small slices of baguette and melted slices of Manchego on them In the microwave.

I drank water.

Joe came and replaced the part for the boiler and got our heating system going, which made a big difference.

I worked on the Kidz purchase agreement during the day and afternoon with Dan and Rahim.

Willy came home around 4:00 and went to walk in the Bosque.  Our neighbor Tim Keller was re-elected Mayor for a third term, which was wonderful news.

Then at 4:30 I started watching the news.

Dinner - we decided to heat up the last of the enchiladas for dinner. I added about 1/4 cup of minced red onion and a couple T.s of sour cream to my enchiladas. Suzette fetched a Carlsberg that we split and sliced an avocado and added pieces of it to the heated enchiladas.  

Willy really liked the enchiladas and suggested that we keep a dish of them in the fridge all the time

We then watched Texas A & M beat Louisville in the NCAA women’s regional quarterfinals in volleyball and went to bed at 9:30. The quality of play by both teams was fantastic.

It was a lazy day but I felt better at the end of the day than I did yesterday.  It is encouraging that my stamina seems to be returning.

Bon Appetit
