THURSDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: A beef and potato pie from Peasant Pies. Also a green salad. Honestly, I really wanted to like this place, but I left disappointed. The pie was too small, so I had to get the salad, but the salad cost so much, I should have gotten another pie. But that would have been more than I wanted to eat. Add to that, the pie was really dry, and hard to eat served in a wicker basket. But still, the place is right near work, and I want to like it so much that I’ll go back. Also, I should have gotten the soup instead of the salad, but it was a hot day. Then someone sat down next to me eating it and it smelled really good.

Afternoon snack: A peanut butter cookie. Also a Peet’s mocha shake drink
Dinner: Apricot and arugula and siraccha pizza
Dessert: The last of the experimental baked alaska with chocolate ice cream. Surprisingly good after a couple of weeks in the freezer.

SATURDAY I ATE

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.

Dinner: Vegetable platter, bread and cheese, salad
Dessert: Leftover chocolate raspberry bundt cake
