Sunday I ate

Breakfast: Lemon scone and the last of the H&D pears
Lunch: Oooh… went out for a burrito from Casa Latina. I’ve been craving a burrito for a while now. Split a chicken chili verde and it was soooo good.
Afternoon snack: Chocolate-peppermint milkshake from Palo Alto Cremery. Drove down to Palo Alto to pick up some toilet paper from Grandpa John (he gets to shop at Costco during senior hours)
Dinner: Leftover pulled pork sandwiches
Dessert: A Micky Bar. For some crazy reason, they were selling them at Berkeley Bowl last week. Supposedly a limited edition from Nestle. Not exactly as good as the real thing in the park, but pretty awesome.

All told, an amazing day of dishing.

Thursday I ate

Breakfast: Scone & Pear
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Buffalo Bleu chips.
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips. Iced tea
Dinner: Creamed chicken with Waffles. The original plan was Tessa’s desire to have “breakfast for dinner” and she had that. But honestly, I don’t love breakfast any time of the day, so the creamed chicken was much better. Also with asparagus and cranberry relish on the side. Delicious.


Dessert: None. WTF?
