Panera and a Drive to LAX

Last night my boyfriend, Peter, and I ate dinner at Panera. He said he wanted something healthy, like a salad. We also hadn't been there in a while. They have some new fall items on the menu so I was excited because I'm ready for fall! It's been really hot in my apartment lately so I'm really for it to cool down a bit.

He ordered the Asian Sesame salad and the Italian Combo sandwich. The salad was really good and he enjoys the sandwich.

I tried the Autumn Squash soup and the Caesar Chicken sandwich. I always get this sandwich because I love it and the soup was good too. It almost tasted like curry, but it was pretty sweet so I didn't finish the whole bowl.

We also tried the Tropical Hibiscus herbal tea. It tasted like fruit punch to me, even though it was unsweetened. I liked it!

We got a 99 cent pastry because we bought a drink and a dinner meal so I picked the cookie with candy pieces. Yummy! And when I used my Panera card the cashier told me I had a free pastry from my birthday so I picked a chocolate croissant. It was delicious! Peter and I shared the croissant and saved the cookie for later. It was nice that Panera honors their free birthday pastry even after your birthday month is over, since most places usually only let you use a birthday freebie when it's your birthday month. So happy birthday to me 2 months late!

After dinner we drove Tauri to the airport so she could fly out to Texas for the weekend to visit her friend.
