Year 2, Day 341: No Sour Cream Please

Had lunch with my old friend Steve today. In tribute to his love of Boca Grande, we went to Boca Grande in Brighton. Of all of them it's a very nice one with lots of space but a very bad draft problem, rendering at least half of the restaurant unusable by people who don't like an icy wind knifing their face during their lunch times. After surveying the menu, I decided to go with the big burrito, but I wanted to keep it healthy. Without asking they plopped the sour cream on it at the end but by that time they had custom made it for me and so what was I going to do? I guess if it had been year one I would have said "I can't eat that" but here it is year 2 so I just went with it.

Breakfast
Kashi
Heritage Flakes
Bear Naked Granola (Raspberry)
Blueberries
Banana
Unsweetened Soy Milk
Coffee


Snack
2 oz 50% Cheddar
50 Almonds
4 Beef Stick Jerkys

Lunch: Boca Grande Taquera
Grande Burrito
Colorado Chicken
Grilled Vegetables
Red Beans
Guacamole
Hot Sauce
Lettuce
Salsa
Sour Cream (Not Asked For)

Dinner: Blue Ribbon BBQ
Brisket
Burnt Ends
Pickles
Salad

I am trying the Bear Naked granola which I know some people like but I am just not feeling the love. I think it is the low sugar element—granola minus sugar—that might be a non-starter. I love the muesli from Ikea, but honestly, I am not going to run over to Ikea every time I need some muesli. So far I haven't found a better, low-carb muesli, but that doesn't mean I won't keep trying. But I am ready for more Swedish meatballs and lingonberries from Ikea....
