What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Went to Pappy’s Grill on Telegraph. Honestly, the food sucked, but it was crazy to be back in what used to be Larry Blake’s. I spent a lot of nights there in college.
Afternoon snack: Birthday cake at the office. Coke zero
Dinner: Pizza at a halloween party.
Dessert: Halloween cookies and mini pumpkin pies at the party.
Location: Yosemite Valley, CA
Breakfast: Bacon. Biscuits. Hot cocoa.
Lunch: Peanut Butter and Jam sandwich. Buffalo Bleu Kettle chips. Grapes. In a tiny cave on the Glacier Point trail to keep the pouring rain from ruining the sandwich
Afternoon snack: More hot cocoa because we seriously earned it. Diet Pepsi. Chips and hummus.
Dinner: Burgers. It was raining too hard to cook them on the grill, so we cooked some more bacon, and then fried the burgers in bacon grease. Quite tasty. Also, potato packets, which cooked just fine in the fire.
Dessert: Chocolate birthday cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Also a s’more, which we’d been talking about all day while the cake was a secret.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Buttermilk chicken sandwich from Gregoire in Berkeley. The sandwich was awesome, but fries to go just aren’t worth the effort.
Afternoon snack: Pound cake, Diet Pepsi
Dinner: Leftover Mac&Cheese
Dessert: Leftover doughnut cake
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Hummus and pita chips from the UCSF farmers’ market. Not nearly as good as the Hummus Guy, sadly.
Lunch: Leftover Mac&Cheese
Afternoon snack: Diet coke, some more pita chips
Dinner: Beef tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto. Roasted potatoes, asparagus

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.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover pizza
