Dessert: Not sure where dinner became dessert, but there was some of each.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Chicken pesto sandwich from Northside Cafe in Berkeley. Very good. Even though its right near work, this is the first time I’ve eaten there.

Dessert: Eliza made chocolate chip cookies
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice

Afternoon snack: French fries smothered in white gravy with a side of pulled pork. Astonishingly, I hod nothing to do with ordering this, and was seated in front of it along with several vegetarians who were no help at all
Dinner: Ate at Costco. Since I was stuffed with fries and pork (see above) I just nibbled other people’s pizza and bbq beef sandwich.
Dessert: Leftover lemon bars
Location: Tucson -> Home
Breakfast: Granola parfait at Starbucks
Lunch: Pulled Pork sandwich at AJ’s Purveyors of fine food in Tucson
Afternoon snack:Gelato at Frost in Tucson. This is some of the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy. Really, really good. Dark chocolate was almost too dark and rich, but cut with a scoop of strawberry-champagne and it was fabulous.
Later on, there was much candy on the airplane home.
Dinner:Stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza from Zacchary’s
Breakfast: Custard filled chocolate doughnut from All Star Donuts

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.
Location: Friday Harbor -> Home
Breakfast: Chocolate croissant at Churchills while waiting for the ferry

Afternoon snack: Java chip frappucino at the airport
Dinner: Raviolis once we got home.
Dad’s Diner A Go Go. Anacortes, WA.
Shack in the parking lot of auto parts store. Limited menu, pork, brisket, burgers. Had the Carolina sandwich… pulled pork. It came on brioche bun that complemented the meat nicely. Not a lot of sauce, but good, tangy flavor. The slaw was a bit disappointing… listed as horseradish, but didn’t taste like anything special. Nothing wrong with it, though… would definitely come back.
