One meal day. Not quite true--a soft boiled egg on toast for breakfast, hours before yoga, and then a late lunch. One plus one would, I guess, equal two.
But, conversation with Gaia at yoga, trip to library and visit to Bay Cities where I bought another one of those small fresh-baked breads that served me so well last week, meant I didn't eat lunch until after four. (Oh that mysterious slippery time).
I did do a little more burrata research at Bay Cities. They do sell the same pound tubs from Gioa that I'd bought at Surfas. Those cost $10.98. For $5.98 you can get two four ounce balls of burrata. They're delivered in bulk, each ball wrapped in paper, and the good cheese people at Bay Cities put together the 8 ounce tubs. That's what I'd bought last week. As I wrote yesterday, by day 5, the burrata felt like it was on the edge--and indeed the expiration date on the burrata that was in the case today (from the Tuesday delivery) was August 21--that's a full week after purchase--perhaps I was wrong--but still--this does seem like one product where the "use by" date is really relevant.
Not planning any celebrations in the coming days, I didn't buy yesterday's cheese--but perhaps I'll be inspired by Friday.
I did have many excellent ingredients for my late afternoon sandwich--thin sliced soppresata salami (bought, I will admit at the 99¢ store last week), smoked mozarella, roasted peppers, sliced avocado and tomato, and as a special bonus, a fairly large clump of cilantro and a spoonful or two of caponata. Mustard and mayonnaise on the bread--very delicious indeed!
