What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Salted peanuts and a few pieces of cheese
Lunch: Ham sandwich with avocado
Afternoon snack: Gelato from Zia’s in El Dorado Hills. I had a Blackberry Lemonade / Dark chocolate-cherry. A really fabulous combination. Also, iced tea.
Dinner: Family style Chinese food at Great Wall in Lafayette. OK, but definitely uninspired… could use a lot more spice and even flavor.
Dessert: See’s Candy
Breakfast: Pancakes, bacon. The pancakes were some experimental lemon ones… very delicious, but maple syrup was all wrong
Lunch: Leftover Zachary’s pizza
Afternoon snack: Split a mocha thing from Peet’s with Tessa, which meant that I had to get decaf. Still, pretty good idea, since I didn’t need it all
Dinner: Experimental pork and apple pie. Really delicious, though it needed an extra flavor… maybe wine? or sage? Suzanne was going to look at the stuffed pork chops recipe and see what flavors those include
Dessert: Leftover chocolate cherry cake
Morning Snack: Flatbread with hummus
Lunch: Flatbread wrap with pre-cooked steak from TJ’s, gorgonzola, hummus. Leftover cupcakes from the 5th grade graduation yesterday. Not that we have 5th grader, but somehow we got roped into helping with 5th grade graduation and got a stack of cupcakes in exchange
Afternoon snack: Cupcake. These things are really gross, with bright blue frosting, but we have lots
Dinner: Zacchary’s pizza, green salad
Dessert: Experimental chocolate cherry cake
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: leftover taco fixings with avocado
Afternoon snack: iced tea, chocolate chip cookie from Aaron’s
Aroma, coffee zero
Dinner: went to the Westbrae beer garden. Split a carnitas rice bowl and some corn cheese fritters
Dessert: mint chocolate birthday cake that Eliza decorated. The cake was actually leftover from February, but came out of the freezer like new.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Donut holes. Aren’t pro hardware stores great?!
Lunch: A great selection of food at a 7 year old birthday party. There were some little meat pies with some Brazillian name, skewers of meat, fabulous guacamole. I should hang out in the park more often.
Afternoon snack: brownies.
Dinner: Went to The Cooperage in Lafayette. Split a brussels sprout and bacon salad (there was a poached egg involved, but not in my half of the split). Then, because they brought the kids margaritas instead of lemonade (without booze, but makes a funnier story to ignore that detail), they brought out a plate of their skillet Mac&Cheese. Seriously, I might head over there just to eat this dish on a cold night; it was in the running for the best Mac&Cheese ever. For our entre, we split the prime rib.
Dessert: We had a selection, including an individual s’mores skillet, a selection of doughnuts, and selection of ice cream sandwiches. The best was probably the chocolate cookie-coffee ice cream sandwich, though the s’mores skillet was fabulous as well.
All in all, a great meal. Last time I ate there, I had the burger, which was fine, but didn’t really differentiate the food. This meal was pretty impressive.
Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter and honey
Lunch: Went to Cafe 15 in Oakland. Had a roasted brussel sprout appetizer and a pastrami sandwich. Both delicious. Iced tea.
Afternoon snack: Pita chips and hummus along with some chocolate chip cookies. Coke Zero
Dinner: Potluck at school. Some great curry, pasta, samosas
Dessert: Chocolate brownies that Eliza made for the potluck, along with some random cookies
Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter and honey
Lunch: Roasted turkey and cranberry sandwich from the Fat Cat
Afternoon snack: Some chocolate squares, Coke Zero
Dinner: Went to Renee’s. A cumin lamb, mu shu pork, beef with basil, and some amazing green beans
Dessert: Ice cream from i scream. I had the dark chocolate and mint chip. Tessa had salted caramel, and we shared.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Pita chips
Lunch: Turkey, hummus, and shredded carrot on pita
Afternoon snack: Hershey’s miniature chocolate bars, coke zero, some figs with prosciutto and balsalmic
Dinner: Tacos
Dessert: Chocolate soda with mint chip ice cream
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Barney’s burgers. My eyes were not bigger than my stomach, but bigger than good sense would dictate. A Western burger, which I failed to split, more than my share of curly fries, and a chocolate milk shake.
Afternoon snack: See above. Still feeling it.
Dinner: Vegetable platter, bread and cheese, salad
Dessert: Leftover chocolate raspberry bundt cake
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice. This shit is kind of gross… how did I really eat this every day last year?
Morning Snack: Cilantro and jalapeno hummus and pita chips from the hummus guy
Lunch: Leftover rice and pork tenderloin with asparagus
Afternoon snack: Coke zero and peanut M&Ms
Dinner: Experimental stuffed pizza
Dessert: Leftover chocolate raspberry bundt cake
