Food Log

Breakfast was three slices of toasted Italian bread with homemade strawberry jam and a cup of coffee. I weighed 155 pounds.

At the office I had another cup of coffee.

Lunch was a garden salad with garden salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette and a banana.

I had a 1:00 meeting, so I just took a short walk through the woods north of campus — maybe two or three miles. While I was walking I noticed that the wild black raspberries are doing nicely.

During the afternoon I had a PayDay Bar.

When I got home from work, Gretchen was just getting back from working at the CSA, so we sat on the porch and relaxed with a bottle of Saranac Pale Ale.

Since neither of us felt like making anything for dinner, we went out to Applebee’s. We split a cheese quesadilla, then we each had a slab of ribs, fries, beans, and cole slaw. I also had a Bass Ale. The ribs were unremarkable — done, but not falling off the bone, and dry — with nice grill marks, but with a sauce that assaulted the nose. The fries were not as salty as some I have had with ribs, though there was nothing special about them apart from that. The beans and slaw were forgettable. I’ve had better and cheaper, but it didn’t make me sick afterwards, so it has got that much going for it.
