If not, generally I’ll come downstairs and skim and have espresso, after which when he wakes up, I’ll return up and we’ll have espresso in mattress collectively. I like to start out my day with a pot of espresso in mattress.
The espresso maker, it’s like a fundamental bitch, a Cuisinart espresso maker. We get this model referred to as Punk Bunny. That’s our favourite type of espresso. We did just lately strive the darkish roast, however we each have determined it’s an excessive amount of for us. We’re going again right down to the medium darkish roast. And I simply put soy milk in it.
Every time I’m touring for work and staying in these Airbnbs and flats and stuff, there’ll be a cappuccino maker, and we’ll at all times be like, ought to we get a type of? after which we by no means find yourself doing it.

9 a.m.: Two loops across the Silver Lake Reservoir
Then I’d drive to the Silver Lake Reservoir, and I’d stroll round it twice, which might be slightly below 5 miles. I’d take my candy canine — she’s a very good walker, though she’s tiny. After my stroll, I’d make a parfait for myself at dwelling. I additionally prefer to go and get the protein pancakes at Cafe Gratitude. That might be a very huge deal with. I don’t love getting breakfast on Larchmont on Sundays as a result of it’s so crowded.
11 a.m.: Hit up the Larchmont Village Farmers Market
My husband and I, we’re not cooks or cooks or something. Now we have a pair go-tos on the farmers market: There’s the soup man who has the frozen soup, and I prefer to get flowers and often berries.

My husband will make salmon on the grill, so he’ll get fish from the fishmonger and generally these Parmesan crisps he actually likes (after which I eat them, though he’s like, they’re for me). If we’re pondering of creating an enormous salad or one thing, we’ll get salad stuff. However once more, we’re not these individuals, though we actually wish to be these individuals.
Midday: Cease at Chevalier’s Books
Then I’d stroll right down to Chevalier’s, our little native bookstore, and say hello to everybody who works there and wander round a bit. I’ve so many books and it’s an issue, however then there’s often one thing there that simply got here out that I’m actually enthusiastic about, and so I’ll get it. I’ve recently been shopping for hardcovers as a result of it’s type of enjoyable to have a primary version of one thing that would probably win the Nobel Prize or Pulitzer.
My husband was like, “The factor about you is you purchase lots of books, however you do learn them.” So I’m not simply randomly shopping for books. I’m studying a ebook by Barbara Kingsolver proper now referred to as “Unsheltered.” That one I feel I in all probability swiped out of a little bit library on a canine stroll as a result of it’s undoubtedly not model new. I simply completed “Martyr!” [by Kaveh Akbar] and I used to be so blown away that I nearly didn’t even wish to learn one other ebook for some time.

Now, we’re coming dwelling, and we’re going to rinse off within the pool, which is gross, however I don’t care.

Mann Chinese language [TCL Chinese Theatres] is the place my husband and I principally go to the flicks as a result of it’s weirdly nearer to our home, however type of a ache within the ass as a result of it’s actually touristy. However now we all know the place to park and get out and in actually shortly. So we’ve received it down.
I’m in all probability going to get myself into lots of hassle now, however we pop our personal popcorn. That is husband territory; he makes it on the stovetop with kernels and coconut oil. We’re an Orville Redenbacher household. I’m not ashamed to say now we have tried all the flamboyant popcorn kernels, however truthfully, I really feel like Orville provides you one of the best pop, in order that’s what we purchase.
Oh, I’ll present you one thing dorky. Maintain on. [Greer disappears and returns with a large Ziploc bag.] I often sneak it in my tote bag. I like having popcorn within the motion pictures, however the film popcorn is often not tremendous good for us. Typically I may even sneak in some dried mangoes, and often I’ll nonetheless purchase a Weight-reduction plan Coke. I really feel responsible not shopping for something.
I like that huge theater. It’s simply so lovely. There are such nice film theaters in L.A., such previous theaters, and that one is so historic. I’ve been to a bunch of film premieres there too. However in all probability I favor it once I’m similar to a citizen watching a film.
7 p.m.: Pasta for dinner
I’d end my day by going to dinner at Osteria Mamma and getting — I don’t wish to get in hassle for this, as a result of they took it off the menu — their pasta pomodoro. Typically I’m similar to, “Are you able to simply make me the pasta pomodoro?” It’s simply so good. My husband will get the cacio pepe, which they make tableside on this enormous cheese wheel, which is bananas, and I like their tricolore salad. We often cut up that. Yeah, we’d have a pleasant little cozy dinner and never should cook dinner on a Sunday evening. We didn’t actually purchase a lot on the farmers market anyway, let’s be sincere.
8 p.m.: Watch a little bit TV or learn in mattress
Typically we’re watching a present and we’ll watch an episode, or we’ll simply go to mattress and skim in mattress. I prefer to ascend round 9.

However by the point I’m completed with all my ablutions and the flossing and all of the issues, it’s undoubtedly nearly darkish.
