April 17, 2026 Breakfast - Granola. Lunch - Leftover Chirashi. Dinner - PPI Roasted Vegetable, Ratatouille, and Spaghetti Sauce over Pasta
I woke up at 7:25 in time to watch the market open up again. This was the 13th session in a row for the NASDAQ to close up. The last time a 13 day winning streak occurred was January 9, 1992. Today ithe NASDAQ was buoyed by Iran’s agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz that sent the NASDAQ to a close up 385 points and increased my portfolio to a new new high up an additional 1.6%.
I ate a bowl of granola with milk, blueberries and mango yogurt at 8:30 and worked until 10:00 and then drove to Costco to pick up a prescription.
Then I drove to my 11:00 appointment at podiatry and after that I drove to a non-appointment at the Vein Clinic.
So I was free by 11:50 and drove home and ate the leftover chirashi from yesterday’s lunch at Crazy Fish. I must admit that the fish tasted better today than yesterday. I heated the sushi rice and made several cups of green tea to go with the fish, seaweed salad, squid and burdock salad, and shredded daikon.
I watched the Market close and then checked my portfolio and then typed a bit and lay down at 3:00 and rested until 4:00 when I started watching the news. A tentative ceasefire is better than no ceasefire, so no one seems to care whether Trump is lying or claims to having made peace for two wars he and Israel started.
I ate two snacks, the first was slices of Granny Smith apple garnished with grated lime zest and sugar and the second was a slice of toasted whole wheat bread spread with a thin layer of peanut butter and honey.
Suzette came home at 5;30 and after her cocktail we decided to cook a simple dinner using leftovers.
We boiled several clusters of Pappardelle pasta and garnished the cooked pasta with a mixture of roasted root vegetables, ratatouille, and the beef and Mushroom Spaghetti sauce I made several days ago.
I opened a bottle of Kirkland 2020 Barolo red wine that was delicious. So we has a great and simple no-cooking meal, except for boiling pasta.
After dinner we watched the Magic of Belle Isle starring Morgan Freeman and Virginia Madsen on Netflix and went to bed at 9:00
Bon Appetit
