Fri, Aug 8 - Olympics, anthrax

9.20am - turmeric hazelnut roll, outside work, w/ my cell phone camera. 9.21am - mini croissant and pain au chocolat, outside work
13.31h - 3 macarons (rose, lavender, pistachio) while waiting for my lunch at La Provence. Didn't eat them until after lunch, of course.
13.36h - panino w/ artichoke hearts, spinach, goat cheese and side salad, at La Provence. All tasted good and right - taste alteration seems to be gone.
18.07h - slice of mushroom pepperoni at Stefano's on the Promenade. We got to leave early today because somebody called saying they had put anthrax into the air conditioning system of the building. Hence all the cops in the lobby this morning. After the bomb threat on Tuesday, when the building was evacuated for hours, and nothing found, this seemed very much like another hoax. But then again, it is all a little odd.
20.11h - something called "Tahitian Drink" (pineapple juice w/ rum, sold pre-mixed in a carton), courtesy of Mathilde, who is from Tahiti. Plus some Cava we brought, at Caroline's.
20.19h - healthy appetizers, just as the Olympic opening ceremony is about to start (on Tivo), at Caroline's, with Ritesh, Mathilde, and a bunch of Caroline's friends, in front of a very big TV.
20.43h - a slice of Caroline's tasty homemade pizza, while watching the Zhang Yimou's Olympic spectacle, at Caroline's
21.11h - a slice of broccoli quiche. Also had a slice of a very good mushroom quiche - will have to ask Caroline where she gets these
21.41h - cantaloupe for dessert, at Caroline's
22.40h - and on to the next party... my mango-flavored Malibu rum w/ some OJ, and Ritesh's Dos Equis, at Omi and Minal's, with Alison, Brendan, Neetu et al.
