Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries. With so little daylight, they are ripening slowly. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to affect the speed of rotting.

LunchLeftover butternut squash pasta

Afternoon snack: A tiny wedge of chocolate from Trader Joe’s, and a cookie from Modern Coffee. Aroma makes better ones.

SATURDAY I ATE

Breakfast:  Grapenuts, cranberry juice, many, many strawberries

LunchChicken 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.

Dessert: Experimental nibby shortbread

LunchChicken sandwich from one of the booths at the Solano Stroll… There were a lot of options, but sadly, when we were hungry for lunch we were in an area of the street that had less good options. Next year: be up at the top of the stroll at lunch time.
