sleepless in SF

I could not sleep last night. I ate and drank a little too much and after I did a little cleaning up I lay awake in bed for a long time, feeling overheated. My eyes feel heavy and dry and my head is cloudy.

This is a first-world problem. It's a beautiful day and I will get myself outside, eventually.

Yesterday I walked to the farmers market and then to Lucca in the Mission. I went past what used to be the Cole Hardware store on Mission and wondered how deep the rain pool might be. I made a good basic lasagna -- simmered canned tomatoes, sliced garlic, and salt for half an hour, then mixed in creme fraiche. Waited for the sauce to cool and then spread it in the pyrex along with two cheeses and basil. It was tangy and decadent. I left the apple galette in too long, which was a shame. Also, I put it on a rimless baking sheet, which was a bad idea. I hope I can get the butter off the oven floor. (Another first-world problem.)
