What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, strawberries
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly. On squishy bread from the newstand downstairs. It was somewhat depressingly boring, but oh, so tasty!
Afternoon snack: Only a skittle or two. Coke zero.
Dinner: Rice and beans. At the awesome Friday night event at the Oakland Museum. Next week might hit the food trucks.
Dessert: Chocolate custard sunday at the Lexi food truck.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries.
Lunch: Burrito, from the cheap place in the building. Very good, just need to remember hot sauce.
Afternoon snack: M&M’s, skittles, Coke Zero.
Dinner: Prosciutto and cheese omelettes. From Eliza’s House of Omelettes. She actually was mastering the technique of working two pans at once. Also roasted potatoes.
Dessert: The last of the nibby shortbread cookies.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, strawberries
Morning Snack: Some grapes and 1/2 an apple
Lunch: Leftover pasta with butternut squash and pinenuts
Afternoon snack: Turns out that caramels and M&Ms are pretty good. With a Coke zero.
Dinner: Rice and beans.
Dessert: One or two nibby shortbread cookies.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries. With so little daylight, they are ripening slowly. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to affect the speed of rotting.
Lunch: Leftover butternut squash pasta
Afternoon snack: A tiny wedge of chocolate from Trader Joe’s, and a cookie from Modern Coffee. Aroma makes better ones.
Dinner: The noodle cake. This time with blue cheese and prosciutto. We all agreed it was better with bacon. And I swear it tastes better than this looks.
Dessert: Nibby shortbread cookies.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice… in too much of a hurry to pick strawberries
Morning Snack: Some sort of fruit and cheese danish at a staff meeting
Lunch: Ham sandwich, potato chips
Afternoon snack: A mocha milkshake from Bittersweet. Holy richness, it was amazing. It was such a hot day today that when I walked in there, I just knew I had to have one. There was a line of people ordering milkshakes
Dinner: Pasta with butternut squash, onion, pinenuts, and thyme.
Dessert: Some more nibby shortbread cookies
This has been our go-to recipe for salmon for a long time, mainly because it is so easy and we usually have what we need in the house. It adds very subtle flavors. I think the original inspiration may have come from Bon Appetit a long time ago. Theirs was in the oven, but in practice, I often do this on the grill.
Breakfast: Waffles, by Eliza… not the nibby ones, sadly.
Morning Snack: Red cheese and a pear. We knew it was going to be a late lunch.
Lunch: Shared a Western burger and Barney’s
Dinner: Rosemary salmon. Went to buy chicken, but they had sockeye on sale.
Dessert: Experimental nibby shortbread.
Breakfast: Pear. This box isn’t going to last much longer.
Morning Snack: So much chocolate chip cookie dough. Eliza was making them for a lemonade stand, and well, I “helped.”
Lunch: Grilled cheese and prosciutto sandwich. More pear.
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookies and lemonade.
Dinner: Pasta with tomatoes, basil, and garlic.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 3 strawberries
Morning Snack: Pear
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly. True to form, I had to go buy some potato chips. Buffalo Bleu from Kettle.
Afternoon snack: Some Hershey’s miniatures… Coke zero.
Dinner: Split a shawarma plate from Adam’s Mediterranean. This was delicious. The girls, predictably, ordered hamburgers, and I was glad they did… even though they got them “kid style” (i.e., with absolutely nothing on them) it was a fantastic burger… very flavorful meat, almost like it had some lamb in it… delicious.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 4 strawberries.
Morning Snack: Pear.
Lunch: Leftover 1/2 burrito from yesterday.
Afternoon snack: Some Hershey’s minatures
Dinner: Spaghetti noodle cake (experiment)… really tasty with bacon. Lots of room to improve with other flavors.
Dessert: Last pieces of See’s candy
