Year 3, Day 64: More Muffies

Again called to answer the child care bell, I eschew work for the role of dropping off Magnolia and then a few hours later, picking her up. As is our habit of two days, I take her to Panera where she can get a 'muffie', aka the top of the muffin. She doesn't eat too much of it, but the whole experience of stopping somewhere and getting something with her is an awful lot of fun. Especially since it's literally on the way home and only two minutes from our home at that. Overall, she's very well behaved, but she doesn't seem to have a taste for any protein, just chocolate chips. I wonder where she gets that from?

Breakfast
3 Eggs
3 Strips of Bacon
Coffee

Lunch: Panera
Greek Salad with Chicken

Snack
1 Cameo Apple
1 oz Boston Lite Popcorn
4 Sticks Beef Jerky

Dinner
Pecan-ed Salmon
Chicken Thighs
Robert's Kicked Up Salad (for Emily it has almonds, olive oil and bacon bits in it)
A few nuts

I must admit that when I ordered my salad from Panera I was not hopeful. I have started to realize that in general, the offerings made by corporate America's food outlets are somewhat lacking, and this may have as much to do with their massive scale as it does their total absence of caring. But for whatever reason, the salad at Panera was nice, if not slight by Christos Seven Star standards. It did not succumb to airplane-level (or unnamed airport cafe level) salad, so that was enough reason to be happy.
