Thurs, Sept 4

7.15am - bread w/ Nadi's mom's super-yummy home made berry jelly (I think it's a blackberry-redcurrant mix), plus bread w/ Rapunzel Samba chocolate-hazelnut-coconut bread and strawberries, at home. 10.34am - Ferrero hazelnut Giotto, at work

11.7am - caramel rice crackers, courtesy of Cecy, at work - thanks, Cecy!

12.05pm - more mini chocolates from Germany, both lemon yoghurt flavored, at work

1.07pm - tostada salad w/ pork carnitas from Baja Fresh, at home. Had to go home and change for a meeting this afternoon.

8.43pm - Mexican fried rice, made with leftover beans and pork from the tostada salad, at home, with Ritesh

Tue, July 22

8.15am - the usual - cereal, nuts, seeds, fruit, coconut rice milk, at home.9.50am - coffee berry juice, at work

9.54am - now does this look to you like they're implying there's some kind of relationship between the coffee berry and the coffee bean? Maybe even a hint of a temporal progression from berry to green bean to roasted bean? That's what it looked like to me, but I just couldn't wrap my head around it, so I wikipedia'd it. And lo and behold, there's no relationship at all beyond a vague physical resemblance. Two totally different plants. Just another marketing gimmick.

12.24h - the veggie burrito from Baja Fresh, ordered without cheese and sour cream. Now I don't care much for sour cream, but I think the cheese is crucial in making this thing come together. Just not very satisfying without it. But my acupuncturist will be proud of me...

14.35h - cherries, at work

16.01h - Santa Claus' goji berry bar, at work. I must say, I had a bad night last night - woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. I ended up getting up and doing some writing, but was just beyond tired all day. And when I get this tired, I not only get cranky, I also get a) cold and b) hungry. As in I need a non-stop food supply to keep functioning. Didn't really like this bar, but it sure helped me through the low-biorhythm part of the afternoon.
18.56h - chips and salsa at Monte Alban Oaxacan Restaurant, with Ritesh

19.17h - Ritesh's horchata con nieve

19.18h - my favorite consome de pollo, at Monte Alban. We really don't eat nearly enough Mexican food - will so miss this stuff when we move away from here...

19.18h - Ritesh's pollo asado con arroz y frijoles, at Monte Alban
