SATURDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Hot tea, french toast
Morning Snack: Iced tea
Lunch: Ham and hummus pita wrap with carrots and cucumber
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips, coke zero
Dinner: Perhaps my best iteration yet of the blue cheese stuffed burgers. We used a different type of blue cheese, from Trader Joe’s, rather than from Costco, which have different melting strategies. But the best part was cooking them sous vide. This really works a treat for stuffed burgers. The patties are so thin, that on the grill, they distort the shape a lot and often leak cheese. In the sous vide at 136F, they were perfectly cooked. Add in a brioche bun from TJ’s, some corn on the cob, and oven baked potatoes and they were amazing.

Dessert: An experimental cherry pie. It was OK, but too much booze (kirsch) gave it a weird sour flavor.

WEDNESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice

SUNDAY I ATE

Lunch: Costco hot dog
Afternoon snack:Cookie dough. We got home from Costco and Eliza announced she wanted to do a baking project. So she went into the kitchen and looked up one of Suzanne’s recipes for a Cookie Dough Tart. She came out to the backyard with a bowl full of cookie dough which occupied our afternoon.
Dinner: Leftover chicken byriani
Dessert: A Sharffen-Berger chocolate bar santa left in my stocking. Good choice, Mr. Claus.

 SATURDAY I ATE:

Breakfast: Waffles. Eliza made them.

Lunch: Split a BBQ beef sandwich at Costco

Dinner: We picked up a flank steak at Costco. Sometimes, those tasters clue you in to something good!

Dessert: Chocolate chip cookies. The girls asked at just the right time and we decided to whip up a batch. Followed the King Arthur Flour recipe, which is my new favorite.
