THURSDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, fresh strawberries. Bumper crop this morning

Lunch: Turkey cranberry sandwich from Fat Cat Cafe

Afternoon snack: Coke zero

Dinner: RiceAndBeansAndZucchiniAndCheeseAndFreshTomatoesFromTheGarden. All run together like that. Yummy. I mean, way, way better than it looks. Homegrown tomatoes cover a multitude of sins. Hell, if I called it “risotto” it’d look fancy.

Dessert: Dear, sweet, god this will be the day, forever known as “The Day The York Tart Was Invented.” This started from a conversation at work. We wanted Junior Mints. Someone suggested I get my wife to make a Junior Mint cake. Twitter hilarity ensued. Tonight, she did it. Next week, she’ll write about it. For the moment, we have cake.

SATURDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Pancakes. Eliza was at a sleepover, so Tessa got to chose.

Lunch: Pork chile verde burrito from Cactus

Dinner: Quite possibly the best burger I’ve ever had in my life. I have no idea what made this particular burger so good… I didn’t even have a hand in making it. I suspect, though, that it was just a confluence of good things. First of all, I think Ginny just buys really good meat from a real butcher. Lee Iacocca wrote in his biography about trying to get the secret to the world’s best burger out of Henry Ford’s personal chef. Eventually the guy showed him: he started by grinding up a USDA prime New York steak. I don’t think this was that good, but nice meat helps. Then there was the tomato. And boy howdy, but was it a tomato. Homegrown, ripe, juicy, 1/2 an inch thick and as big as the burger. Come to think of it, the meat may have been superfluous in this meal. Anyway, it was a damn good cheeseburger.
