Dessert: Mint chocolate chip from I-Scream. At least we rode bikes up there for it.
Breakfast: Doughnuts from Mira Vista in Richmond. I had high hopes… the place was nice, it was next to Home Depot, the people were friendly. But the donuts sucked. Overcooked, barely any custard, chocolate frosting doesn’t deserve the name.

Dessert: Some leftover experimental baked Alaska

Dinner: Chocolate chip cookies
Dessert: Leftover Black Forest Cake
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey club sandwich from Cafe 24. This time, they actually gave me what I ordered instead of the chicken salad. It was pretty good. Iced tea.

Dessert: Experimental black forest cake

Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Coffee snacks for my first day working at UC Berkeley… Bagels with cream cheese, plus coffee cake
Lunch: Had a turkey and avocado sandwich from The Stuffed Inn in Berkeley. Sadly, there is something structurally wrong with this sandwich on a French roll… I can’t figure out how to bite it without all the stuffing just squirting out the side
Afternoon snack: Coke Zero
Dinner: Chicken with yogurt mint sauce and homemade flatbread.
Dessert: A little thin mint ice cream
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Salted peanuts and a few pieces of cheese

Dessert: See’s Candy
