Started our morning at a nearby breakfast place called Heist: eggs, toast, homefries, avocado, and a lavender latte. Quite good, but I suspect it is called Heist because it is so expensive you kind of feel robbed? Anyway, we then walked downtown to check out SFMoMA which I thought had some very cool exhibits. Then out to the Richmond to finally have lunch at Mandalay! The tea leaf salad was as wonderful and unusual as I remember; we also had a noodle dish with chicken but we know why I was there.

Stopped in at Arsicault, a somewhat nearby bakery, for some pastries for the morning. I impulsively picked up a chocolate chip cookie too and honestly it was one of the best ones I have ever had (thin, crispy/chewy, with big slabs of dark chocolate). We didn't have time for dinner (!) because we were going to an event that was part of the SF Cookbook Week; there were snacks there but the weren't exactly ample (bags of nuts, as various hand pies that were not helped by being served cold). We weren't sure what to expect, but it was a mixture of cookbook writers talking about themselves, some unexpected improv, a pretend game show (boring) and a little drag performance. How did Jessica and I not know that one of the chefs from Noodle Night was also a drag queen? I guess we did not do our research. I would say it was 75% very enjoyable which isn't bad. Then a long Lyft home from the Presidio and bed.
