Dessert: Split a skillet s’more (homemade graham cracker with chocolate topped with a sheet of house-made marshmallow in a 4″ skillet. Also a few bites of a “Ho Ho cake.” Then ate a bunch of chocolate ganache while frosting Tessa’s castle cake
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice. Plus a couple of strawberries. That’s right, it’s mid January, and I’m still getting the occasional strawberry out of the patch. Crazy.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich.
Afternoon snack: Milky way dark. The Halloween candy is starting to run low. Coke zero
Dinner: Black bean soup. Recipe was from Epicurious, and not particularly good… called for 3 cans of broth, which was clearly too much. Ended up pureeing another can of beans, which helped. Also added some Siracha sauce, which also helped.
Dessert: Coffee ice cream with some leftover ganache
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cranberry juice. Stupidly, I forgot to use the rolls Suzanne made last night. Hope they are still good tomorrow.
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: Ramen
Dessert: Leftover banana bars, also took a bit of the ganache from the top of them that was in the fridge… heated it up and poured it over thin slices of ice cream. It worked really well, and reminded me of the fresh-dipped bars you used to be able to get in Haggen Daz stores.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Leftover ramen
Afternoon snack: Milky way dark, coke zero
Dinner: Rice and beans
Dessert: experimental banana bars with penuche frosting…. Mary came up with this recipe somewhere, and it was pretty awesome. Made it better by dumping on some leftover ganache we happened to have in the fridge. Color me happy!
