What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Homemade granola, cranberry juice, 3 strawberries. A couple of warm days and we’re getting quite a few.
Morning Snack: Red cheese
Lunch: Leftover pizza
Afternoon snack: Dutch chocolate chip ice cream from Fenton’s
Dinner: Filet tips, green beens, potatoes, salad.
Dessert: Dense chocolate cake with ganache.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries. The patch is still holding strong, but for how much longer?
Morning snack: Cookies. Specifically some gooey chocolate awesome things Eve brought in. I would have preferred them for my afternoon snack, but had to move fast: they were gone by lunch.
Lunch: Went to Bissap Baobab, 381 15th St, Oakland, CA, for a co-worker’s farewell party. I had a chicken wrap thing, which was good, but everything everyone else had looked better. I also had fried plantains,which I didn’t need but were too good to stop eating. This place is worth a lunch 
Afternoon snack: There was a certain amount of leftover candy from leaving-co-worker’s drawer. 2 coke zeros.
Dinner: Pizza. With fresh tomatoes.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries
Lunch: Leftover rice and tomatoes. See, this is where Dishdigest earns its keep. Me: “how old is this tuperware full of leftover rice?” Suzanne: “I dunno. pretty old, why don’t you look it up on dishdigest?” Me: “Says it was last Thursday, that’s probably OK, right?” Suzanne: “Eliza, have you brushed your teeth?”
Afternoon snack: Maybe a couple of snickers. Coke zero
Dinner: Pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil
Dessert: Experimental grape tart with marscarpone whipped cream. Freakin’ awesome. This time, she roasted the grapes and then reduced the juice with a little balsalmic vinegar to make a sauce…
Breakfast: Cliff bar (early morning meeting)
Lunch: Burrito from Vallejos in Sacramento. One of those meals that just does an injury! This was the closest place to our meeting, and we got a recommendation from someone whose cousin owned it or something. Anyway, I ordered a carnitas burrito, and it shows up about the same size as a chinchila. I kid you not, this fucking thing would not have fit through a piece of 4″ PVC. I didn’t finish it, thank god, but it was still like a bomb went off. Sadly, except for the size, it was disappointing. The meat was beautifully cooked, but the flavor was bland.
Afternoon snack: Frappucino. Not because I was hungry (like hell!) but because I was tired and had a long drive.
Dinner: Leftover chicken
Dessert: See’s candy
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 1 strawberry
Morning Snack: There was this cake in the office…
Lunch: Chicken & Hummus sandwich
Afternoon snack: Little snickers bars. Coke zero
Dinner: Chicken biryani
Dessert: See’s candy. First day of school, so we went and got a treat.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 1 strawberry. Getting thin out in the berry patch
Lunch: Leftover risotto
Afternoon snack: Some candy. Coke zero.
Dinner: Ramen with some garden veggies.
Dessert: More of the peppermint patty tart. Life is good.
Breakfast: Custard filled chocolate doughnut from All Star Donuts
Morning Snack: A rib from T-rex BBQ in Berkleley. I happened to walk into a landscape supply store at just the right time.
Lunch: Hot dog from Costco
Afternoon snack: – safe to say, at this point in the day, I didn’t really need one
Dinner: Corn-tomato-basil risotto. This is one of my favorite dishes of all time, and when the tomatoes are fresh and homegrown, it’s hard to pass up. The original recipe is from Joy of Cooking, but I’ve changed it over the years.
Dessert: Experimental Peppermint Patty Tart. Plus some York Peppermint Patties and Junior Mints while shooting photos.
Breakfast: Eliza invented chocolate nib waffles. Let the world pause to write this day down in the annuls, ’cause they were damn good.
Lunch: Taco bar at friend’s wedding reception
Afternoon snack: Cake, brownies, and cookies at same
Dinner: Ahi, along with salad, avocado, egg, beans, bread.
Dessert: Princess cake.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, Cranberry juice, fresh strawberries
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Afternoon snack: Ho ho ho! I brought in the experimental peppermint patty tart. Through a heroic effort, I kept secret until 1:30. And there was much rejoicing. There was also a bunch of dark chocolate that other people had busted out to make up for their disappointment.
Dinner: Pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil
Dessert: None. Can you believe that shit?
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, fresh strawberries. Bumper crop this morning
Lunch: Turkey cranberry sandwich from Fat Cat Cafe
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: RiceAndBeansAndZucchiniAndCheeseAndFreshTomatoesFromTheGarden. All run together like that. Yummy. I mean, way, way better than it looks. Homegrown tomatoes cover a multitude of sins. Hell, if I called it “risotto” it’d look fancy.
Dessert: Dear, sweet, god this will be the day, forever known as “The Day The York Tart Was Invented.” This started from a conversation at work. We wanted Junior Mints. Someone suggested I get my wife to make a Junior Mint cake. Twitter hilarity ensued. Tonight, she did it. Next week, she’ll write about it. For the moment, we have cake.
