Presidential Pancakes

BREAKFAST: 11am, 4 pancakes, 7 strips of bacon, 1/2 GuS soda, hunger 4/5
Slept well after initial insomnia, dreams were less crazed and stressed than the last few nights. I made a batch of pancake mix from scratch, then made pancakes, using up left-over heavy whipping cream and folding in some whipped egg whites. Oh boy, the extra dairy fat giving unctuous density balances by the airy eggwhites made for an over the top pancake (whose mix was 100% white whole wheat which gives a pleasantly strong wheat flavor and unrefined organic can sugar, which gives a subtle caramel richness without being too loudly sweet). I fried up farmer's market non-nitrate bacon, which now thinking about it, could probably eaten 1/2 the amount and still would of been happy.

After, had half a meyer-lemon soda, very tasty and not too sweet. Probably could of skipped that for a pint of water.

LUNCH: 2:15pm, string hopper kotta with prawn curry, various fried appetizer thingies, water, hunger 3/5
Sri Lanken food on Staten Island with some old friends and their new baby. Kind of like Indian food with a slight African twist. String hopper kotta was bits of rice vermicelli in an onion/garlic/tomato dry sauce, really yummy and spicy.

I grew up on Staten Island, and it was heartening to see an area I knew very well as a kid having a little bit of culture, something I instinctively missed but didn't quite know it yet then.

DINNER: 9pm, boca burger on whole wheat sprouted toast, small amount of baby carrots with ranch, chocolate babka.
I finished the babka, ate too much of it, but it is very much a comfort food. Had no problem falling asleep soon after midnight.
