June 27, 2026 Breakfast - Pain au Chocolate. Lunch - Costco Hot Dog. Dinner - Chicken Curry with Rice

This was a rather busy day. While Suzette did water aerobics and worked in the garden, I slept until 9:00.

I then got dressed and ate a pain au chocolate with a latte macchiato and then we rode our bikes to the farmers’ market where Suzette bought four croissants and a loaf of whole wheat bread while I talked to Zul about his transaction.

We then rode around the neighborhood and then drove to the UPS store and picked up two cartons of wine from Red Tail Ridge winery.

Then we drove to Costco and bought a new bottle of Bandol for $15.98, eggs, mushrooms, lemons, detergent, French brie cheese, feta cheese, Clorox, butter, thick cut bacon, coffee, two more bags of pain au chocolates, pistachios, four bottles of Clamato juice, Spanish olive oil, and a wedge of Gruyere cheese, and I also picked up.two prescriptions.

After we shopped we ate a hot dog with a soda and Suzette filled up her Highlander with $3.29 per gallon gas, which is the cheapest it has been in a while and we drove to Shamrock Southwest Distributers where we bought Lady fingers, marsacapone, Polish sausage, cherry saft, two cans of baby clams, anchovies, burrata cheese, and ricotta cheese.

We now have most of what we need for the party on July 2.

We finally drove home, arriving around 2:30.

By the time we unloaded it was time for today’s six World Cup soccer matches to begin at 3:00, 5:30, and 8:00.  There was lots of exciting action during the matches, as ability to advance to the knockout round of 32 changed with almost every goal.

The most exciting moment of the day was the last goal scored in the last minute of extra time in the. Last match of the day by Austria that provided Austria the tie to send it from elimination into the round of 32 at 10:30 at night.

I rested from 3:00 until 5:00 when we were hungry again and decided to not cook, but, instead, to simply heat the leftover chicken curry and rice.

Suzette fetched the pots from the garage fridge and heated the curry on the stove and some of the rice in a Pyrex baking loaf pan in the microwave and fetched the jar of homemade apricot chutney and I fetched the jar of Bengali Mixed Pickle for me.

We drank glasses of Trader Joe’s Bandol rose for the most substantial meal of the day

We spent the rest of the evening watching soccer and about 2/3 of Bill Maher.

Suzette chose to watched home remodeling during much of the time while I watched soccer in the bedroom so I am not sure when she went to sleep.

I went to bed at 11:00.

All the errands and bike riding over the course of the day allowed me to accumulate over 6300 steps today without tiring me too much, which was wonderful.

I guess you could say this was a day of previously prepared food mostly eaten in relation to errands.

Tomorrow we will rest and hopefully eat properly.

Bon Appetit
