What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey club sandwich from Cafe 24. This time, they actually gave me what I ordered instead of the chicken salad. It was pretty good. Iced tea.
Afternoon snack: Coke zero and a chocolate chip cookie from Carl’s Jr, which was weirdly good.
Dinner: Leftover pulled pork. Broccoli
Dessert: Experimental Simple Black Forest Cake. The photo shoot edition.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Chicken club sandwich at Cafe 24, which is in my new building. I have to re-read the menu, but it came out as a chicken salad sandwich with bacon… not bad, but not what I was expecting
Afternoon snack: Chocolate cookie and iced tea from Starbucks
Dinner: Pizza with arugula, sirracha, onions and apricots. From Jupiter in Berkeley
Dessert: See’s candy
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Coffee snacks for my first day working at UC Berkeley… Bagels with cream cheese, plus coffee cake
Lunch: Had a turkey and avocado sandwich from The Stuffed Inn in Berkeley. Sadly, there is something structurally wrong with this sandwich on a French roll… I can’t figure out how to bite it without all the stuffing just squirting out the side
Afternoon snack: Coke Zero
Dinner: Chicken with yogurt mint sauce and homemade flatbread.
Dessert: A little thin mint ice cream
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: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning snack: Iced tea
Lunch: Flatbread sandwich with turkey and cilantro hummus
Afternoon snack: A bite of cookie, some York patties, coke zero
Dinner: Chicken biriyani with cilantro yogurt sauce and experimental flatbread
Dessert: Leftover birthday cake
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

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
