TUESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Raisin bran, cranberry juice. Not sure what possessed me to buy Raisin bran, but there it is.
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Roast turkey sandwich with cranberry from the UCSF hospital cafe
Afternoon snack: Iced tea and chocolate cookie from Starbucks
Dinner: Spaghetti Bolognese from Mangia Mangia in Albany. I don’t know why, but I’ve been craving this for days. I was going to make it up in the pressure cooker, but didn’t get home from work until after 8:00, so I stopped here. I’v wondered how this place was, and was happy to have a chance to try it. The pasta was excellent, with a good mix of meat and tomato and spice. It was a bit expensive, though, so I won’t be taking the whole family any time soon.
