MONDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Leftover pizza
Afternoon snack: Diet pepsi. Also a random piece of the chocolate cake that was sitting in the student lounge where the soda machine lives
Dinner: Grilled buttermilk chicken, roasted potatoes, green beans, green salad. Brilliant idea today: the buttermilk chicken soaks in a bath of buttermilk, garlic and shallots. Normally, I just chuck this once the chicken is on the grill. Since we were low on garlic to roast with the potatoes, I strained the vegetables out of the marinade, rinsed them, and roasted them for 20 minutes. They were fabulous.
Dessert: Hot cocoa is honor of the first fall-feeling day. With frozen whipped cream blobs Suzanne was experimenting with.

MONDAY I ATE

Labor Day
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Small slice of pizza
Lunch: Split a thai chicken crepe and a ceasar salad at the Crepevine. I think this place is OK, but nothing more than that. The flavors are fairly bland, and the service is pretty bad. This is the second time that they’ve forgotten one of the kid’s orders. Iced tea.
Afternoon snack: York peppermint patties. Leftover from Easter.
Dinner: Leftover Zacchary’s pizza
Dessert: Tessa mint chocolate cupcake
