May 11, 2026 Breakfast - Lax and Bagel. Lunch - French Onion Soup. Dinner - Pasta with Snow peas, Ricotta, and leeks

I woke up at 6:45 and watched a few minutes of pre-market activity that did not look promising, which made sense after the monster day on Friday, but as the day progressed the risk on attitude prevailed. Although the NASDAQ was up only 27 points at the end of the day, there a surge of buying in the high tech part of the market by mid day that slackened a bit by the end of the day. My portfolio ratcheted up another .92% today. This rally is inexplicable, except to say that the critics who criticized NVIDIA for its circular investing have changed their critique to praise as all of NVIDIA’s investments are part of this high tech rally. Mid day Nvidia was up $6.00 and it closed at $219.44, up $4.22.

Suzette left early for an appointment and I helped fix breakfast for Billy and Elaine. I toasted bagels and sliced red onion and Gravad lax. Billy wanted to make a sandwich and breakfast with the bread he bought in Santa Fe. He smeared the bread with cream cheese and piled it with  slices of Gravad lax.

Elaine ate granola with strawberries.

I sliced 1/2 of a bagel in half and toasted each thin slice and spread cream cheese and garnished with slices of red onion and Gravad lax.

I ate about 2/3 and drank about 3/4 of a latte macchiato by 8:45 when Billy announced it was time to leave for the airport.

When I returned I finished my bagel and coffee as I watched the market rise on TV until about 9:45.

I then finished reviewing two documents for Earn.

At 11:00 my new client arrived and we spent a bit over an hour on his case.

I then called Karim and Rahim about dematerialization and documents Karim needed notarized.

Then at 1:00 I walked to the bank. I accumulated over 2800 steps today, so a bit above average

At 2:30 discussed my comments on the Earn documents with Aaron.

When we finished around 3:45 I had still not eaten any lunch. As I was heating a bowl of French Onion Soup with croutons and melted Jarlsberg cheese.  Suzette arrived and grabbed a bowl of grapes and went to her office to work.

Finally at 4:30 I was able to watch some news until 5:30 when Suzette wanted to fix dinner.

Dinner - I chopped the We went to the garden and picked a handful of snow peas from our vines plus some basil leaves and parsley.

I chopped the parsley and basil while Suzette snapped the snow peas and chopped some leftover chicken and fetched the jar of fresh ricotta we bought at the Santa Fe farmers’ market on Saturday and combined all the ingredients into a lovely mixture. garnished with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

 We drank glasses of Archery Summit Vireton Pinot Gris.

Later we watched the Antiques Roadshow and ate Danish cookies and I made a chai. The second hour was another Santa Fe Session from the plaza om Museum Hill.

We went to bed at 9:00 and watched Tucci in Italy for a few minutes but  went to sleep when we saw that it was about the cuisine of Tuscany that we had seen previously.

Suzette went to sleep and I blogged for a wjphile and the watched Rachel.

Bon Appetit
