Busy week. I’m just now updating the site with photos. I’m missing my chicken and dumpling soup (a new offering in the lunch cafeteria) and the husband’s pasta dish (see previous pasta dishes and you’ll get the gist).

Christmas Pear from Metropolitan Market. Juicy and sweet. The sign at the MM said “The ones Harry & David didn’t get” or something like that.

2 eggs (overeasy, or as I used to call them, sunny-side down); sitting on top of a slice of sourdough toast (Fremont, from Essential Bakery), with a couple of tablespoons of Newman’s Own pineapple salsa (medium). Breakfast of champions. Especially tasty after a workout.

Funny story about this. During training at the firm we each got a $10 coupon to spend in the cafeteria. Our goal from that point on was to buy as much stuff in the cafeteria as possible, without going over 10 bucks. The top customer spent $9.19. A chef’s salad (a HUGE salad), Odwalla bar and Vitamin water came to a total of $8.24.

A plate of appetizers from Canyons in Redmond. Hidden in the upper-left corner, strawberry lemonade.
