Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries. With so little daylight, they are ripening slowly. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to affect the speed of rotting.
Lunch: Leftover butternut squash pasta
Afternoon snack: A tiny wedge of chocolate from Trader Joe’s, and a cookie from Modern Coffee. Aroma makes better ones.
Dinner: The noodle cake. This time with blue cheese and prosciutto. We all agreed it was better with bacon. And I swear it tastes better than this looks.
Dessert: Nibby shortbread cookies.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice… in too much of a hurry to pick strawberries
Morning Snack: Some sort of fruit and cheese danish at a staff meeting
Lunch: Ham sandwich, potato chips
Afternoon snack: A mocha milkshake from Bittersweet. Holy richness, it was amazing. It was such a hot day today that when I walked in there, I just knew I had to have one. There was a line of people ordering milkshakes
Dinner: Pasta with butternut squash, onion, pinenuts, and thyme.
Dessert: Some more nibby shortbread cookies
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 3 strawberries
Morning Snack: Pear
Lunch: Peanut 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.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 4 strawberries.
Morning Snack: Pear.
Lunch: Leftover 1/2 burrito from yesterday.
Afternoon snack: Some Hershey’s minatures
Dinner: Spaghetti noodle cake (experiment)… really tasty with bacon. Lots of room to improve with other flavors.
Dessert: Last pieces of See’s candy
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 3 strawberries
Morning Snack: Banana bread. Sure, it had chocolate chips in it, but it’s still healthy, right?
Lunch: 1/2 a burrito from Burrito Express. Carne al pastor.
Afternoon snack: A couple of little Hershey’s Special Dark bars. Halloween candy season is here. Regular Coke.
Dinner: Rice and beans.
Dessert: Turtle custard from Lexie’s Frozen Custard food truck. This was incredibly good, as was the peanut butter cup one. This is described as the richest, creamiest soft-serve ice cream ever, and that about sums it up. I’ll be looking for this truck again, for sure. Appears to be at the El Cerrito food truck event every other week.
