FRIDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 3 strawberries

Morning Snack: Pear

LunchPeanut butter and jelly. True to form, I had to go buy some potato chips. Buffalo Bleu from Kettle.

Afternoon snack: Some Hershey’s miniatures… Coke zero.

Dinner:  Split a shawarma plate from Adam’s Mediterranean. This was delicious. The girls, predictably, ordered hamburgers, and I was glad they did… even though they got them “kid style” (i.e., with absolutely nothing on them) it was a fantastic burger… very flavorful meat, almost like it had some lamb in it… delicious.

WEDNESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Cliff bar (early morning meeting)

LunchBurrito from Vallejos in Sacramento. One of those meals that just does an injury! This was the closest place to our meeting, and we got a recommendation from someone whose cousin owned it or something. Anyway, I ordered a carnitas burrito, and it shows up about the same size as a chinchila. I kid you not, this fucking thing would not have fit through a piece of 4″ PVC. I didn’t finish it, thank god, but it was still like a bomb went off. Sadly, except for the size, it was disappointing. The meat was beautifully cooked, but the flavor was bland.
