Afternoon snack:A few little chocolate mints. Coke zero.

Afternoon snack:Cookie dough. We got home from Costco and Eliza announced she wanted to do a baking project. So she went into the kitchen and looked up one of Suzanne’s recipes for a Cookie Dough Tart. She came out to the backyard with a bowl full of cookie dough which occupied our afternoon.
Dinner: Leftover chicken byriani
Dessert: A Sharffen-Berger chocolate bar santa left in my stocking. Good choice, Mr. Claus.
Breakfast: Pineapple (been sitting around for a week and finally got ripe)
Morning Snack: Chocolate-covered jellied raspberry things. Also some chocolate santas. Went to the hardware store looking for cheap christmas lights, but all they had at 75% off was leftover candy.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich
Afternoon snack:Mocha fredo at Peet’s
Dinner: Chicken and beef kabobs at Citra Grill in Walnut Creek. This place is right across from the movie theater and has sort of general middle eastern food. Very tasty kabobs, and cooked just right. The salmon was also delicious. Service was a bit spotty. Tried to be very helpful, but then took 30 minutes for an extra kabob.
Breakfast: Oatmeal, brown sugar, and the last Royal Riviera pear of the season. Say it ain’t so.
Lunch: Split a chicken burrito at Rubio’s
Dinner: Chicken biryani with cilantro yogurt sauce. Plus a salad
Dessert: See’s candy

Afternoon snack:Apple pie pumpkin pie. Also a mint-chocolate cupcake with mint frosting that Tessa made because she doesn’t like pie
Dinner: Turkey sandwich with stuffing and cranberries
Dessert: See’s candy
Breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar. Non-Royal Riviera pear, which wasn’t worth the effort
