What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Homemade granola with cranberry juice and fresh strawberries
Morning Snack: Currant scone from Awaken

Afternoon snack: There was a tiny piece of plum cake that someone brought in. Also a little leftover chocolate whiskey bundt cake
Dinner: Experimental herb tart. Tessa had noodles.
Dessert: Leftover skillet cookie
Breakfast: Homemade granola with fresh strawberries
Lunch: Chicken guacamole sandwich. It was looking a little bland, so I actually bought some of the buffalo bleu kettle chips
Afternoon snack: Some peanut-butter chocolate chip cookies from Trader Joe’s. By the time I got to them, the bottom of the bag was all crumbs, so I poured them into a cup and ate them with a spoon
Dinner: Spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil

Lunch: Pizza and BBQ beef sandwich at Costco
Dinner: Tomato Tart. Along with a green salad. Fresh garden food never really gets old.
Dessert: Experimental whiskey chocolate bundt cake.
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice and fresh strawberries. Have to enjoy this while it lasts, because the crop is running out.
Lunch: Leftover mac and cheese
Afternoon snack: Hummus and pita chips. Also some Hershy’s kisses. And a Coke Zero.
Dinner: Ramen
Dessert: Chocolate milk shake
Lunch: Chicken ceasar salad from Carolyn’s Seaside Cafe. Fair, but not great. The service was slow (at the height of the lunch rush) so I had to get it to go. Which meant that the dressing came in a little cup, which means it ended up in blobs. Honestly, the reason I like salads at restaurants better than at home is that they are generally willing to get a big bowl dirty tossing the salad and dressing evenly.
Afternoon snack: Frapucchino sort of thing.
Dinner: Leftover tomato onion tart. This is one of my favorite things to eat in the world. Only problem is that it was a small piece.
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice and fresh strawberries
Lunch: Leftover pizza
Afternoon snack: Kettle corn
Dinner: Ceasar salad, fried chicken at Casa Orinda. This place has such an old-school feel, it’s incredible it still exists. I mean, there’s a moose head on the wall, plus a bunch of long horn cows. And waggon wheel chandeliers. Plus, if what you’re looking to eat was popular in the 50’s – 60’s (think steak or fried chicken), this place will do it with rare skill.
Dessert: Hot fudge sundae
Breakfast: Doughnuts from Toot Sweet. First time here for doughnuts (though I think I’ve had cake from here). I would probably rate them as mediocre. They were out of the custard filled by 9:00. The saving grace, though, was the buttermilk doughnut with chocolate glaze. This was just a different take on the genre, and I loved it. Suzanne described it like a biscuit, deep fried and covered with chocolate.
Lunch: Leftover pizza
Afternoon snack: Chips, salsa, watermellon, a ham sandwich, and some birthday cake with ice cream. Sweet jesus. Birthday parties are trouble!
Dinner: Baked potato with leeks, tomato, cheese, and salsa.
Dessert: Popcorn (while watching movie)
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice and fresh strawberries
Lunch: Pork chili verde burrito from Burrito Express
Dinner: Pizza with zucchini, salami, leeks, and corn
Dessert: More chocolate bundt cake
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice and fresh strawberries
Lunch: Chicken guacamole sandwich
Afternoon snack: Chocolate. We’ve been good around work at not buying candy, but some days, you just need some
Dinner: Gorgonzolla zucchini pancakes. The garden is full of zucchini; time to get creative. (modified from Joy of Cooking)
Dessert: Chocolate whiskey bundt cake
