Afternoon snack: Chocolate-peppermint milkshake from Palo Alto Cremery. Drove down to Palo Alto to pick up some toilet paper from Grandpa John (he gets to shop at Costco during senior hours)
Dinner: Leftover pulled pork sandwiches
Dessert: A Micky Bar. For some crazy reason, they were selling them at Berkeley Bowl last week. Supposedly a limited edition from Nestle. Not exactly as good as the real thing in the park, but pretty awesome.
All told, an amazing day of dishing.
Breakfast: made a fresh back of lemon scones

Afternoon snack: Went to Pete’s for a mocha whatever they are calling their shake thing these days. Used to be a Fredo. New name is dumber.

Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips. Iced tea
Dinner: Creamed chicken with Waffles. The original plan was Tessa’s desire to have “breakfast for dinner” and she had that. But honestly, I don’t love breakfast any time of the day, so the creamed chicken was much better. Also with asparagus and cranberry relish on the side. Delicious.
