Lunch: Leftover rice and tomatoes. See, this is where Dishdigest earns its keep. Me: “how old is this tuperware full of leftover rice?” Suzanne: “I dunno. pretty old, why don’t you look it up on dishdigest?” Me: “Says it was last Thursday, that’s probably OK, right?” Suzanne: “Eliza, have you brushed your teeth?”
Afternoon snack: Maybe a couple of snickers. Coke zero
Dinner: Pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil
Dessert: Experimental grape tart with marscarpone whipped cream. Freakin’ awesome. This time, she roasted the grapes and then reduced the juice with a little balsalmic vinegar to make a sauce…
Breakfast: Cliff bar (early morning meeting)
Lunch: Burrito from Vallejos in Sacramento. One of those meals that just does an injury! This was the closest place to our meeting, and we got a recommendation from someone whose cousin owned it or something. Anyway, I ordered a carnitas burrito, and it shows up about the same size as a chinchila. I kid you not, this fucking thing would not have fit through a piece of 4″ PVC. I didn’t finish it, thank god, but it was still like a bomb went off. Sadly, except for the size, it was disappointing. The meat was beautifully cooked, but the flavor was bland.
Afternoon snack: Frappucino. Not because I was hungry (like hell!) but because I was tired and had a long drive.
Dinner: Leftover chicken
Dessert: See’s candy
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 1 strawberry. Getting thin out in the berry patch
