What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Leftover pasta with sundried tomato pesto. Not sure how long it’s been in the fridge, but I guess I could go back on this blog.
Afternoon snack: Lemon bars, also Coke Zero
Dinner: Leftover tacos. Still awesome the second time around.
Dessert: More Lemon bars. This time with more rosemary and pinenuts.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich
Afternoon snack: French fries smothered in white gravy with a side of pulled pork. Astonishingly, I hod nothing to do with ordering this, and was seated in front of it along with several vegetarians who were no help at all
Dinner: Ate at Costco. Since I was stuffed with fries and pork (see above) I just nibbled other people’s pizza and bbq beef sandwich.
Dessert: Leftover lemon bars
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover turkey pot pie
Afternoon snack: Dack chocolate peanut M&M’s, Coke Zero
Dinner: Ate at Renee’s Place. Spare ribs, orange chicken, broccoli beef. The orange chicken was the best.
Dessert: Milkshake and a beer at Grazie Burger in honor of Eliza’s play.
Lunch: Leftover turkey pot pie
Afternoon snack: Leftover peppermint brownies eaten out at the end of the Bay Bridge. Tessa’s first time doing that ride all by herself.
Dinner: Tacos. We were in the checkout line when we realized we forgot the taco seasoning. So we turned to that classic tome of Mexican cuisine: The Joy of Cooking. The taco recipe includes a can of tomato sauce, which seemed weird. At the end of the day, with the addition of a little extra chili powder, they were fantastic.
Dessert: Flourarrangements lemon bars. The photo edition.
Lunch: Border burrito with chicken at Dos Coyotes. Always a favorite if we happen to be driving through Davis
Afternoon snack: Hummus with pita chips
Dinner: Pasta with pesto, salad, bread. At uncle Dan’s
Dessert: Chocolate chip cookies. Too many chocolate chip cookies.
Breakfast: Pancakes. Tried mixing the batter with an electric whisk to make it pour better (for artistic reasons) but they ended up really rubbery.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with hummus
Afternoon snack: chocolate chips, coke zero
Dinner: Turkey pot pie… with biscuits instead of crust.
Dessert: Eliza’s mint brownies
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover black bean soup
Afternoon snack: Hot cocoa from Bittersweet. Also Coke zero
Dinner: Pasta with sundried tomato pesto
Dessert: Some weird lemon tea cookies Suzanne was experimenting with. The cookies were OK, but the lemon slices made them soggy and slimy in the middle. And the lemon slices were a bit sour for my taste.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover black bean soup
Afternoon snack: A few milky way darks, Coke zero.
Dinner: Another iteration of the pizza rolls. Tomato sauce and prosciutto. These were slightly smaller than before. Two of them was almost dinner. Had a salad to put it over the top.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice. Plus a couple of strawberries. That’s right, it’s mid January, and I’m still getting the occasional strawberry out of the patch. Crazy.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich.
Afternoon snack: Milky way dark. The Halloween candy is starting to run low. Coke zero
Dinner: Black bean soup. Recipe was from Epicurious, and not particularly good… called for 3 cans of broth, which was clearly too much. Ended up pureeing another can of beans, which helped. Also added some Siracha sauce, which also helped.
Dessert: Coffee ice cream with some leftover ganache
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with leftover sauted onions on a leftover pizza-dough roll
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookie from Aroma. Coke zero
Dinner: Rice and beans and cheese
Dessert: Ice cream on banana blondie.
