May 24. BLT with avocado. eggplant with pomegranate molasses. Fried egg with re-fried roasted potatoes and carrots

Another late lunch.  Post yoga, post bike ride, I'd been thinking of a bacon, kale and egg combo, but instead went for a BLT with avocado (once there's an open package of  bacon in the refrigerator--even --or especially if it's Trader Joe's ends and pieces it's hard to just ignore--most of my food musings these days contain a few bacon bits).  Also made serious inroads into the eggplant with pomegranate molasses-- magnificently robust after many days of marination.

All that late afternoon eating was exhausting.  Or maybe it was the yoga and the biking.  I didn't think I had another ounce of energy when  Patty called, eager for a late afternoon walk.  It has been so southern California spectacular these days, I couldn't refuse.  I met her at the Rose parking lot--we walked beyond the Venice Pier and back to my house where, as a reward for urging me out of the house, I was able to offer her brown sugar cookies.

Just as Patty left, Julie called from New York.  We had a long proper catch-up.  When we finished, I made myself a very late but quite satisfying dinner of roasted asparagus(not left-over--the last bunch from the farmer's market)  with a sprinkling of cheese and a fried egg.   Also sauteed an onion to which I added some left-over roast potatoes--sounds like a good brunch--but it was fine meal at 10pm.
