Breakfast:

No breakfast. Tut tut. To be fair, I was still full from the meal last night.

Lunch:

Visitors from the US still around, so we went for sushi at Matsuba. I wrote a review on Qype ages ago, but since I always have the same thing – the Matsuba special bento box – it still applies.

Dinner:

After eating out so much this week and last week, it was a relief to have a good old spag bol, cooked by P.

Breakfast:

Same as every other day this week, seeing as I’m in the same hotel and the selection doesn’t ever change.

Lunch:

Working lunch brought into the meeting room. Better than the normal boring Pret stuff we get in London, though. Open sandwiches with ham and salad on lovely crusty bread. Love the bread here in Germany.

Dinner:

Went to a place called Eiffel, which was an ever so slightly pretentious modern French(ish) restaurant. I had a starter of scallops on mango-lime chutney with a basil sorbet. Main course was spaghetti with prawns in a spicy tomato sauced embellished with curry spices. My review on Qype.

I’m currently writing this with a stomach that feels like it isn’t digesting my dinner, so I may yet get to see it again some time soon…

Breakfast:

Croissant, with butter and seville orange marmalade.

Lunch:

Had a lunchtime meeting so had to nip to the local sandwich shop to get an egg mayonnaise and bacon baguette. Whilst I can’t fault the undoubted quality of the bacon, I think it’s a mistake pairing such a sweet-cure bacon with egg mayo. I was bad and had some M&S sour cream and jalapeno crisps, but balanced it out with a banana and an apple.

Dinner:

Spag bol, cooked by P. Tasted lovely, but it’s clearly sitting heavily in my stomach. Might be in for a rough night praying to the porcelain god.

One of those days when I didn’t eat at home at all, although I think I managed to eat relatively well.

Breakfast:

I didn’t have a chance to get breakfast at home, but luckily work provide some breakfast supplies. I had a bagel – actually a pale imitation of a bagel, since it was one of those New York Bakery Co. bagels which taste nothing like the lovely bagels I’ve had in New York. Covered in Philadelphia light cream cheese with chives, surreptitiously eaten while on a call with someone.

Lunch:

Took my boss out for lunch – yes, I’m such a brown nose – and decided to see what the H2O Floating Restaurant was like in cold weather. I’ve been here before, as part of a large group, in the peak summer months; unsurprisingly, the tiny galley kitchen they have struggled to cope with a large number of covers, but given that there was just the two of us in the whole place today, service was speedy and the food pretty good. I had spaghetti with scallops in a chilli tomato sauce. Nicely spiced, and plenty of scallops chucked in.

Dinner:

It was the annual quiz night at work tonight and as we’ve got such great facilities for social events like this, catering was ordered in. There was a nice selection of sushi, some not-so-nice fried things that looked like spring rolls but seemed to be filled with cheese (and they were cold), some weird flat-bread sandwich affairs, falafel and other bits and pieces. I majored on the sushi which, for mass catering, was nice enough.
