Tues Sept 19 & Wed Sept 20

Breakfast: smoothie

Lunch at LAX airport, at the Panda Express. I had mushroom chicken, green beans & chicken, & teriyaki chicken with vegetables, plus a fortune cookie, with a Diet Pepsi. Bonus: I used my own chopsticks,
stainless steel straw, & napkin. (The paper napkins were already on the table.)






They served dinner on the plane. I had chicken in a cream sauce, plus some of the rice and carrots mixed in with the chicken. I also had the "Wee Brie" cheese. I gave my carrot cake to the young man sitting next to me. I had a small glass of red wine with dinner. 



I picked up some snacks at LAX too. I got a bag of popcorn (because yum), plus some dried carrots & green beans, plus a bag of the energy protein mix. All were from Watsonville, in SoCal. I didn't actually eat any of the popcorn or carrots & green beans, so I have them for my train rides and the rest of my trip. 

They also served a German-style breakfast on the plane I had a slice of cheese and a bit of turkey lunch meat. 

Once I got to Anneliese's house, I had some roasted chicken and some kraut salat (cabbage pickled in vinegar), plus some carrot sticks and a couple slices of persimmon and apple. I also had a beer. 

All in all a good day!

Sat Sept 2

Mom & I went to IHOP for breakfast. I had the "Bacon Temptation Omelet". Here's the menu description:



Here's the one I got (with a side of fruit):



So good! 👍 Most Restaurants make omelets like crepes - that is, a thin layer of eggs surrounding the fillings like a wrap. This omelet was multiple layers of eggs interspersed with the fillings. Yay!

For dinner, I went to Max 'n' Erma's with friends. I had the "Garbage Burger" - burger patty, cheese, guacamole, marinara sauce, sautéed mushrooms & onions, & bacon - with no bun and a side of steamed broccoli:



I also had two glasses of beer.
