What did you eat today?
Morning Snack: A mini Snickers bar grabbed from a booth at AAAS
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with cream cheese and cranberry jelly from Main Street Cafe and Books in Los Altos. It was pretty good, maybe a bit dry.

Dessert: Blackberry pie, made for a Pi day post
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with hummus
Afternoon snack: Pie crust, chocolate chips, coke zero
Dinner: Pork loin chops with a Chinese spice rub from the Cook’s Illustrated Quick Recipes
Dessert: Blackberries and ice cream
Breakfast: Donuts and pork sausage. Delicious combination
Lunch: Split a buffalo chicken sandwich and fruits at RG Burger in Carmel.
Afternoon snack: hot chocolate
Dinner: Butternut squash risotto with bacon
Dessert:
Breakfast: Granola with cranberry juice
Lunch: Turkey sandwich. Yesterday, the bread got gummy, but today I put it in the panini press and that helped a lot
Afternoon snack: Candy… York peppermint patties. Coke zero
Dinner: Tacos, green salad
Dessert: Cherry pie. Suzanne was experimenting with cutting letters in.
Breakfast: Granola with cranberry juice
Morning Snack: half a muffin
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with jalapeno cranberry spread
Afternoon snack: Candy, specifically Skittles and chocolate hearts. Coke zero
Dinner: Pork and apple pie. This is from some cookbook from the 1960’s filled with recipes that were old back then (Yankee Hill Country Cooking
). Pretty great flavor, but a bit watery.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Lunch: Roast beef sandwich with horseradish from Ratto’s Deli. The roast beef was tender, the roll was soft, the horseradish was spicy. So, no RB&R, but a fine sandwich.
Afternoon snack: Peanut M&M’s (dark), coke zero
Dinner: Beef stew, green salad.
Dessert: Chocolate fondue with experimental meringue hearts.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich
Afternoon snack: French fries smothered in white gravy with a side of pulled pork. Astonishingly, I hod nothing to do with ordering this, and was seated in front of it along with several vegetarians who were no help at all
Dinner: Ate at Costco. Since I was stuffed with fries and pork (see above) I just nibbled other people’s pizza and bbq beef sandwich.
Dessert: Leftover lemon bars
Breakfast: Pancakes. Tried mixing the batter with an electric whisk to make it pour better (for artistic reasons) but they ended up really rubbery.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with hummus
Afternoon snack: chocolate chips, coke zero
Dinner: Turkey pot pie… with biscuits instead of crust.
Dessert: Eliza’s mint brownies
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 leftover sauted onions on a leftover pizza-dough roll
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip cookie from Aroma. Coke zero
Dinner: Rice and beans and cheese
Dessert: Ice cream on banana blondie.
