FRIDAY I ATE

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.

WEDNESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 3 strawberries

Morning Snack: Banana bread. Sure, it had chocolate chips in it, but it’s still healthy, right?

Lunch: 1/2 a burrito from Burrito Express. Carne al pastor.

Afternoon snack: A couple of little Hershey’s Special Dark bars. Halloween candy season is here. Regular Coke.

Dinner: Rice and beans.

Dessert: Turtle custard from Lexie’s Frozen Custard food truck. This was incredibly good, as was the peanut butter cup one. This is described as the richest, creamiest soft-serve ice cream ever, and that about sums it up. I’ll be looking for this truck again, for sure. Appears to be at the El Cerrito food truck event every other week.

TUESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries

Lunch: Carnitas 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.

SUNDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Cinnamon waffles a la Eliza

Lunch: California crepe from Crepevine. There are a lot of great spots around Berkeley, but I always have a soft spot for this one since the original opened up right where we used to live in the City. This worked out to be a good choice, since they had a broad menu with hamburgers for the kids.

Afternoon snack: Gelato from Caravaggio in Berkeley. Very fresh and tasty.

Dinner: Butternut squash risotto

Dessert: A leftover cookie and a Nordstom caramel (thanks, Papa John)

SATURDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, many, many strawberries

Lunch: Chicken sandwich.

Afternoon snack: Scraps of chocolate cake that Suzanne was baking

Dinner: Pizza from Little Star at the “dinner with Albany” event. They close down Solano, and 3,000 people eat in the street. We went with Daniel and Gita and family. We got heavily into the table decoration, going for a Solano Stroll carnival theme, but didn’t quite get it done in time for the judges

Dessert: A totally amazing carousel cake as part of the decorations. Suzanne probably won’t post it to flourarrangements, but it was totally awesome. Palomi’s friends kept stopping by asking for some, and finally, she and Eliza just took slices on the road and handed them out.
