What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Oatmeal with frozen raspberries and cocoa nibs
Morning Snack: Split a custard filled doughnut from Dream Fluff Doughnuts in Berkeley. It was OK. The chocolate glaze was quite good, but the doughnut itself was a little overcooked. The custard filling was mediocre (Eliza pronounced it spicy)

Dessert: Tessa made some mint chocolate brownies
Breakfast: Oatmeal with raspberries and cocoa nibs

Morning Snack: A single See’s candy

Afternoon snack: Two cookies from Market Chef! So excited for the best chocolate chip cookies ever. Also a chocolate croissant that someone brought to seminar. Coke zero

Labor Day
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Small slice of pizza
Lunch: Split a thai chicken crepe and a ceasar salad at the Crepevine. I think this place is OK, but nothing more than that. The flavors are fairly bland, and the service is pretty bad. This is the second time that they’ve forgotten one of the kid’s orders. Iced tea.
Afternoon snack: York peppermint patties. Leftover from Easter.
Dinner: Leftover Zacchary’s pizza
Dessert: Tessa mint chocolate cupcake
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Hummus and bread

Afternoon snack: Iced tea, chocolate chip cookie
Dinner: Zacchary’s stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza, Ceasar salad
Dessert: Tessa’s mint chocolate cupcakes
Breakfast: Doughnuts. Split a custard bomb with Tessa. Orange juice
Lunch: Sandwich of leftover chicken saltimbocca with cheddar cheese
Afternoon snack: Soft serve ice cream dipped in chocolate. Hello, 4th grade, I missed you. At Lake Anza. Shared with Tessa, and a lot of it dripped on my leg.
Dinner: A serious stroke of brilliance, though this experiment still needs some work. Chicken saltimbocca pizza. Caramelized an onion, with white wine and some lemon juice towards the end. Used that as the base of the pizza, then added the last of the leftover chicken, along with some prosciutto. Topped with grueyere cheese and sage. We ate it with a kale salad with a dressing of lemon juice, lemon zest, and olive oil. While we were eating, we decided that the kale salad was just what the pizza needed on top. Might experiment with this, or might add the kale before baking.
Dessert: Tessa and Suzanne made mint chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting. Awesome! I had two.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with hummus and cheddar
Afternoon snack: Iced tea
Dinner: Grilled drumstick, edemame, roasted potatoes
Dessert: Tea party with chocolate chunk cookies and mint tea
