TUESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries

LunchCarnitas burrito from El Gusano. This was a serious piece of eating, and really good. The meat was juicy, which is kind of unusual for a carnitas. It’s a big, sit down place, and it gets pretty busy at lunch.

Afternoon snack: 1 little tiny reeses thing. And a coke zero. The burrito was still with me.

Dinner:  Leftover spaghetti bolognese and a salad from the garden.

Dessert: A cookie left from the ferris wheel cake.
