May 21, 2026 Breakfast - Granola and fruit salad. Lunch Mary and Tito’s with Monica and Aaron. Dinner - Grilled T-bone steak, green peas, sautéed Mushrooms, and Baked Potato
Today I woke at 6:50 and watched the Market open, slightly down. Nvidia’s was under pressure and closed down $3.96. So my portfolio had a small loss of .2%.
I ate granola with milk and tropical fruit salad for breakfast. Then I worked at my desk until 10:30 when I walked around the block.
At 12:30 I drove to Mary and Tito’s and met Aaron and Monica for lunch. They ordered Mexican turnovers that are stuffed sooapillas with beef and beans and guacamole.
I ordered the Thursday special of two beef tacos with double beans and red chili on the side. Today I was hungry and wrapped spoons Ful of beans and red chili in pieces of the flour tortilla served with the dish to make mini burritosl.
After lunch I drove to Smith’s where I bought milk, 8 1 1/2 thick T-bone steaks, 10 chicken thighs, a marked down South African lobster tail, a container of sour cream, and two bunches of lovely asparagus, the butcher was kind and cut me steaks 1 1/2 inch thick with large filet sides approaching porterhouse steaks in configuration.
After I returned home and unloaded it was 4:00. I tried to watch Ari in bed but fell asleep until 5:30.
Dinner - I went to the garden and picked sugar snap and snow peas that are prolific this year.
Suzette baked Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes.
She then seasoned one of the T-bone steaks with salt and ground Nepalese peppercorns and grilled the steak. We de-stemmed the peas and Suzette blanched them and then enriched them with butter.
I sliced five or six portobello mushrooms and the last three lobster mushrooms and 1/2 of a shallot and sautéed the ingredients in olive oil and butter.
I opened a bottle of Calstar 2024 Sangiacomo Pinot Noir.
Willy joined us around 7:45 under the gazebo in the garden. At 8:30 we came back in to watch Midsomer Murders and Willy left.
Suzette made parfaits of vanilla ice cream with Suzette’s homemade maraschino cherries.
Suzette went bed at 9:30 and I stayed up to watch George Gentlely until 11:15 when I blogged and went to bed.
Often I feel the best around 11:00 at night.
Bon Appetit
