Breakfast: No oatmeal breakfast today! It’s seeded watermelon. It’s a breakfast, it’s a snack, it’s a dessert. I love it and I love watermelon with seeds.
Lunch: Staying in Monte Sereno we decided to drive south over the hill to Santa Cruz. I love Santa Cruz and have so many varied memories there starting back in 1982. No matter what I would be doing there – shopping, visiting the Boardwalk and riding the rollercoaster, performing musicals at Cabrillo Stage in Aptos, working for EarthSave, watching a frisbee tournament, seeing the monarch butterflies and so much more, there has always been Dharma’s. I first knew this vegetarian restaurant as McDharma’s but they were sued by the evil giant McDonald’s and had to remove the “Mc” from their name. Can a McDharma’s by any other name taste as sweet? Of course. I have enjoyed many meals at Dharma’s for more than 30 years. When we found out there was a Groupon, we grabbed it and headed south over the hill. We got the special breakfast veggie burrito with their House made chai tea.
Evening: I could not eat a thing all day with my very full Dharma belly. I craved watermelon and had a bunch and then enjoy a little Soy Creamy Black Cherry Ice Cream.
