Woke up far too early remembering I’d lost a medical device at the party yesterday & never went back to sleep. A brief search of our host’s house and patio didn’t turn it up, either 
Since we were already oot & aboot we decided to get brunch at the newish Turkish place before dropping off our ancient Prius at the dealer for its inspection mañana & picking up more supplies for our trip.
Dinner was a ginormous Cobb salad with romaine, celery, avocado, flavor bomb tomatoes, shaved red onion, gorgonzola, shredded rotisserie chicken, a few strips of crispy Nueske’s bacon, and 2 HBEs. Dressing was augmented buttermilk ranch — i.e. CK’s with crushed garlic, lemon juice, s&p, fresh parsley, dill & green onion.
Really hit the spot after a sizable brunch, and there’s leftover for tomorrow’s lunch 
Also, our Italy trip is still up in the air, or at least our final destination: cancelled Calabria and are now torn between SE Sicily and Ischia. Or maybe Sardinia. The options are overwhelming, TBH
