Afternoon snack: Java chip Frappuccino. It was “Frappuccino Happy Hour” so couldn’t resist
Dinner: Pizza with dried cherries, roasted garlic, prosciutto, and blue cheese
Dessert:
Breakfast: Donuts from Rainbow donuts in Berkeley. This shop was pretty great: they had a good selection of interesting doughnuts… stuff like Oreo, Mint, M&M, alongside the classics. I have to say, though, that their custard filling was a little weak.
Morning Snack: Iced tea
Lunch: Turkey hummus pita wrap
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookies and lemonade from the girls’ roving lemonade stand. There were a ton of garage sales, and they raised $50 to send to victims of the Nepal earthquake
Dinner: 2 cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s, just to bookend a day of healthy living. The girls had never eaten at Micky-D’s, and they read about Happy Meals in a book… mom was sick, it seemed a perfect opportunity. Frankly, they were underwhelmed. Tessa said the chicken nuggets tasted kind of fishy. Eliza said the burgers were better at Barney’s. Both were correct.
Dessert: Another chocolate chip cookie or two
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Flatbread sandwich with leftover sausage, grated carrots and hummus. Definitely not as good as the steak version from yesterday
Afternoon snack: Eliza’s birthday cake. Two layers of chocolate cake with a little bit of chambord in them. In between was a layer of raspberry frosting from the Flourarrangements raspberry cream tart. Eliza decorated it with fondant, and then there was an ice rink made of melted jolly ranchers. Eliza made the igloo out of mini marshmallows and royal icing
Dinner: Split chicken enchilladas and Picante
Dessert: Very full…
