What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, hot tea
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry and leftover green beans and french fried onions on focaccia
Afternoon snack: Brownie, maybe a cookie, also a slice of cake that someone brought by. Coke zero.
Dinner: Turkey pot pie with biscuits. The Flourarrangements photo version
Dessert: Chocolate covered marshmallow
Breakfast: Hot tea
Morning Snack: Iced tea
Lunch: Ramen (Suzanne’s sort, with lots of veggies… not the flavor-packet sort)
Afternoon snack: Brownies. Maybe a cookie, too.
Dinner: Went to Renee’s for Chinese food. Had the pork buns, kung pao chicken, and their green beans which are just the best green beans ever
Dessert: Another brownie and cookie
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Chicken pesto sandwich from Northside Cafe in Berkeley. Very good. Even though its right near work, this is the first time I’ve eaten there.
Afternoon snack: Mocha frappaccino thing or whatever they call them at Pete’s. Very tired this afternoon. Also a brownie, which I’d forgotten existed.

Dessert: Eliza made chocolate chip cookies
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Blackberry pie
Lunch: Roast beef sandwich with blue cheese
Afternoon snack: Chocolate brownies, coke zero
Dinner: Ate at Revival in Berkeley. Meatball appetizer was delicious, but they were more spherical sausages than meatballs… the Kale “Ceasar” was also good, but nothing about it was at all Ceasar-like. The sea bass was delious
Dessert: Chocolate tart with peanut butter ice cream was fantastic
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover pizza
Afternoon snack: Iced tea, chocolate cookie
Dinner: Some pork in spicy sauce from Trader Joe’s. Really tasty, but too fatty. Rice, green beans.
Dessert: Eliza baked cookies and I ate a bunch. Then I baked brownies and licked the bowl.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Fruit and orange juice
Lunch: Burrito from La Burrita in Berkeley. Considering the last time I ate here, was 20+ years ago after a night of drinking, it’s perhaps not surprising that I forgot how crappy it is. Doubt I’ll be back.
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: Stuffed pizza from Little Star
Dessert: Mint cremes from Trader Joes
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Leftover turkey sandwich. The green bean casserole is a fabulous addition to a sandwich. I was starving, so ate mid-morning
Afternoon snack: Chocolate cookie from Pete’s, which turned out to be mostly walnuts, and therefore lame. Coke zero
Dinner: Leftover turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce. Green salad
Dessert: Split the last piece of apple pie with Eliza. Ice cream.
Breakfast: Chocolate-chip pancakes and bacon. Quite a lot of bacon, actually.
Lunch: Leftover turkey sandwich. The green-bean casserole made a great addition
Afternoon snack: Coke zero, half an apple
Dinner: Beef tenderloin, roasted potatoes, green beans, green salad
Dessert: Apple pie with ice cream
Breakfast:
Morning Snack: Apple slices, Hummus and bread
Lunch: Roast beef sandwich with blue cheese and hummus
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: Dress rehearsal for Thanksgiving. Turkey (Spatchcock from Serious Eats), green bean casserole (NY Times recipe), cranberry sauce (leftover from 2 years ago), mashed potatoes
Dessert: Apple pie with ice cream
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich from Cafe Milano in Berkeley. I had a total flashback to lugging my giant “laptop” that I got out of the DAK catalog down here to write papers back in the early 1990’s.
Afternoon snack: Coke zero, a mini snickers bar
Dinner: Went to Five in Berkeley. The food was delicious: a salad of figs and cheese that was fabulous. I’ve never had figs that sweet.
fillo wrapped herbed goat cheese and mixed green salad with prosciutto chips, pickeled red onion, cherry tomatoes, basil pesto. This was tasty, although the fillo wrapped cheese was relegated to the side more than I was expecting.
For a main, we split homemade herb pappardelle with shredded braised lamb shank. roasted squash. onion, pickled mushroom.
So, great food, but the service was terrible. We almost missed our concert. The manager did give us 25% off because it was so bad.
Dessert: Gelato from Amare in Berkeley
