Dinner: In Sacramento, stopped by The Old Spaghetti Factory for some take out. They still have the best thousand island dressing. And their fresh baked bread is pretty awesome. Plus the spaghetti with meat sauce.
Dessert: Fudge. Tessa and I have been experimenting and it wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty good. Had to re-melt it this morning and then we over-beat it. But the flavor was great.

Breakfast: Skipped
Lunch: Chicken sandwich on a TJ’s brioche roll
Afternoon snack: Half-christmas cookies. Iced tea
Dinner: Went to KFC. Tessa has been really intrigued since we ate it once in an airport in Italy. Honestly, pretty good. I might prefer Church’s, but have to try them closer together than a couple of years. You sure get a lot of food for $30… two buckets of chicken, way more mashed potatoes than we needed, plus biscuits.
Dessert: None needed

Lunch: Amazing use for leftover KFC: chop up the tenders into a fried chicken sandwich
Afternoon snack: Iced tea. Plus licked the bowl while making fudge
Dinner: Homemade dumplings. Rice. Edemame
Dessert: Blueberry pie with ice cream. Some of the fudge we made this afternoon (using the recipe from an old metal Hershey’s can)… but it was not totally set and kind of grainy
