What did you eat today?
Location: Home
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey avocado sandwich
Afternoon snack: Mini Twix candies with Dove dark chocolate squares
Dinner: Pork chili verde burrito from Picante in Berkeley. This place is great; sort of a cross between a sit down eatery and a taqueria. It has the advantage that the whole family can find something to eat here
Dessert: Ice cream
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Donuts (new staff at work won everyone’s approval for sure!)
Lunch: Burrito (pork chili verde) from Xolo (1916 Telegraph Ave in Oakland). This was the best burrito I’ve had around here… the pork was well seasoned, although I might ask for it hotter next time. The flavors blended together really well. The carne al pastor tacos that other people had looked delicious
Dinner: Rice and beans
Dessert: Double chocolate cookies
Location: Friday Harbor -> Home
Breakfast: Chocolate croissant at Churchills while waiting for the ferry
Lunch: BBQ at Dad’s Diner A go-go. I’d noticed this food truck a few times passing through town, but this time the timing worked out. Check out my review.
Afternoon snack: Java chip frappucino at the airport
Dinner: Raviolis once we got home.
Dad’s Diner A Go Go. Anacortes, WA.
Shack in the parking lot of auto parts store. Limited menu, pork, brisket, burgers. Had the Carolina sandwich… pulled pork. It came on brioche bun that complemented the meat nicely. Not a lot of sauce, but good, tangy flavor. The slaw was a bit disappointing… listed as horseradish, but didn’t taste like anything special. Nothing wrong with it, though… would definitely come back.
Location: Friday Harbor
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice
Lunch: Pork tacos from Pablitos. This place has amazing mexican food, including hand pressed tortillas. The smokey chipotle sauce is incredible.
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookie from Market Chef. Um… and some mint chip ice cream.
Dinner: Pork tenderloin and BBQ chicken at Justin and Rita’s.
Dessert: Brownies with mint chip ice cream and hot fudge.
Location: Friday Harbor
Breakfast: Skipped
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Oooh… the Bulgogi Burger from Ernie’s Cafe at the Friday Harbor Airport. I’m sure this must offend some Southeast Asian purists, but it’s a damn good mess of chopped pork, pickled vegetables, and a tangy sauce on a bun. If you’ve got an airplane in the Pacific Northwest, this makes a great $100 hamburger.
Afternoon snack: Grape and Rootbeer shaved ice from The Sweet Retreat
Dinner: Sandwiches while out sailing with the Curtises
Location: Lopez island to Friday Harbor
Breakfast: Bacon. Also sausage. How great is camping?
Morning Snack:Ice cream. From Lopez Island Creamery.
Lunch: Chicken-bacon-ranch sandwich from Lopez Village Market. This sandwich rocks! I’ve eaten this 3 times, and two of them changed my world. Take a breaded, fried chicken breast. Chop it up with some bacon. Add some white cheese (provolone, maybe) and some ranch dressing. They offer it as a cold sandwich, a wrap, or a panini. Now,, of the 3 times I’ve been there, once this was listed as the special and I remembered it for a solid year. The next time I went back, I asked and the person seemed really puzzled and ended up making me something that I didn’t really need to eat. I tried again, a year later. Sadly, I got the run around as I tried to describe this heavenly concoction. Then someone in the back, presumably the proprietor of the deli shouted from the back “You want a chickenbaconranch?” and came out to take my order. It was worth the effort.
Afternoon snack: I had ice cream at 11:30 and a chicken bacon ranch sandwich at 1:00. No snack needed.
Dinner: Leftover Pork Chili Verde.
Dessert: Leftover chocolate chip cookie.
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Ritz crackers and red cheese
Lunch: Burrito from Qdoba. Free guac is a great deal.
Dinner: Chicken, bacon, brie and apple sandwich from Cask & Schooner. Really nice to be back in Friday Harbor to go to some of our very favorite places.
Dessert: Ice cream from the red ice cream place in Friday Harbor. Actually not a favorite place. They have such a fabulous location, right on the water, that it just breaks my heart they sell really crappy ice cream. Nothing bad, just lots of standard stuff from big dairies without much flavor. I much prefer to go across the street where the serve ice cream from a local creamery… fewer flavor choices, but better ice cream.
Breakfast: Orange juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich at a work meeting.
Afternoon snack: Brownies and cookies at the meeting.
Dinner: Several dishes at La Cheval. Vietnamese-inspired food. Very tasty. Not sure if it was expensive or not.
Breakfast: Chocolate croissant at The Beach Monkey Cafe in Pacifica
Lunch: Sandwich from Gherkin’s Sandwich Shop in Montara (big day for eating; OST teambuilding trip). I ordered the “West Coaster” a chicken, bacon, avocado monster. It was really good, but I resisted my natural inclination to skip the sourdough roll and that was a mistake. Sourdough rolls are one of the biggest sandwich fails. The bread tastes great, but it is so much tougher than the filling that it’s impossible to bite without squeezing all the sandwichy goodness out.
Afternoon snack: Coke Zero.
Dinner: Split a BBQ beef sandwich from Costco.
Dessert: More of the doughnut cake.
