What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Pancakes. Tried mixing the batter with an electric whisk to make it pour better (for artistic reasons) but they ended up really rubbery.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with hummus
Afternoon snack: chocolate chips, coke zero
Dinner: Turkey pot pie… with biscuits instead of crust.
Dessert: Eliza’s mint brownies
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover black bean soup
Afternoon snack: Hot cocoa from Bittersweet. Also Coke zero
Dinner: Pasta with sundried tomato pesto
Dessert: Some weird lemon tea cookies Suzanne was experimenting with. The cookies were OK, but the lemon slices made them soggy and slimy in the middle. And the lemon slices were a bit sour for my taste.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover black bean soup
Afternoon snack: A few milky way darks, Coke zero.
Dinner: Another iteration of the pizza rolls. Tomato sauce and prosciutto. These were slightly smaller than before. Two of them was almost dinner. Had a salad to put it over the top.
Breakfast: Pancakes with syrup and applesauce
Morning Snack: Pancake sandwiches with penuche frosting and chocolate chips. This was a spur-of-the-moment decision as there were some leftover pancakes just sitting there at the same time Suzanne decided that a batch of frosting wasn’t properly spreadable and decided to make another. These were fantastic.
Lunch: Leftover pizza rolls
Afternoon snack: Hot cocoa. Coke zero.
Dinner: Burger stuffed with gorgonzolla, topped with saute’d onions and in a bun made from the pizza roll recipe. I tried something I’ve wanted to do for a while: cook the stuffed burgers sous vide. It was a successful experiment, but I should have charred them more at the end.
I also added some mozarella to try to bind the blue cheese, and that was wholly successful.
Dessert: The photo version of the banana blondies with penuche frosting for Flourarrangements
Breakfast: Donuts from Happy Donuts. Not the one on San Pablo near Gilman, but the one on Gilman near San Pablo. Just in case there is any confusion. This one is way better. Of all the donut shops in this part of town, it has the darkest chocolate icing. Nice folks, too.
Lunch: Leftover Mac&Cheese
Afternoon snack: Straciatella gelato from Caravaggio in Berkeley
Dinner: Ribs and potato salad at friend’s house. Delicious!
Dessert: Next iteration of the banana blondies with panuche frosting. This time with chocolate bars inside.
Breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar
Lunch: Leftover Mac&Cheese
Afternoon snack: Coke zero, plus some double stuff Oreos. Damn, but those are good!
Dinner: Experimental pizza rolls. Very, very tasty. A lot like the cheese zombies.
Dessert: None. Can you believe it? Of course, the day isn’t over yet.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry
Afternoon snack: 2 milky way dark, coke zero
Dinner: Stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza from Zacchry’s
Dessert: Experimental persimmon cake (for Suzanne’s dad). It was way better than I was expecting… more like a carrot cake (which I also don’t love). So I’d never order it for my birthday, but I started with the smallest sliver I could cut and ended up going back for more.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover ramen
Afternoon snack: Milky way dark, coke zero
Dinner: Rice and beans
Dessert: experimental banana bars with penuche frosting…. Mary came up with this recipe somewhere, and it was pretty awesome. Made it better by dumping on some leftover ganache we happened to have in the fridge. Color me happy!
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover spaghetti with chicken and pesto
Afternoon snack: Score! Found the christmas toffee that someone at work had stuck in the freezer before everyone cleared out ofr the holidays. Coke zero
Dinner: Ramen with Suzanne’s homemade noodles. First try.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce
Afternoon snack:A few little chocolate mints. Coke zero.
Dinner: Chicken biryani. Along with yogurt sauce, homemade naan, and salad
Dessert: An experimental lime curd tart. This turned out to be a whole lot like a lemon meringue pie. I like the lime flavor better, but the meringue was pretty goopy.
