I Food

Now that I'm on a blogging kick again, I need to start uploading photos of food. I bought myself an I Phone just for the heck of it and it takes fairly good photos.

After returning home from my trip to Kansas, I've been trying to eat at home. I did sneak out for a quick lunch at Yours Truly yesterday and noticed that they have two of my favorite things on special this month - hummus and sweet potato fries. Mmm. I had the sweet potato fries along with my sandwich and they were SO good. I decided to hold off on getting hummus since I'm headed to Tommy's this weekend. Their spiked hummus is THE best!

Week in Review

I've dined out more than normal this week. I went to Pizzazz last night with my boyfriend. I typically go to the Mayfield Village location for lunch when I'm at work so we decided to go to the University Heights location for a change of pace. I'd forgotten how much nicer the University Heights location is. We both ordered delicious house salads - minus the pepperoni garnish for me. I don't know what they do to their house dressing but it's so good, I could drink it. We both also ordered calzones - spinach and mushroom for me and chicken veggie for him. As with everything else in the restaurant, the calzones were even different from the ones served at the Mayfield Village location. They were smaller and crispier - something that I liked but my boyfriend didn't. They also came with cheese. Delicious, delicious cheese.

Earlier in the week I went to Yours Truly - twice. Still good as always. I tried a new vegetarian appetizer - flash fried artichokes with a side of ranch. Although they were fried, the artichokes weren't greasy or heavy. They were really tasty - even with out the ranch.

I started off the week with lunch from Tommy's in Coventry. Trying to be a little bit healthier, I avoided my favorite falafel sandwich and had some black bean chili and a tossed salad instead.

On one of the few nights where I ate at home I made some homemade pasta sauce with tomatoes fresh from my mother's garden. There's nothing like fresh pasta sauce made with home grown basil and garlic. Sadly, her tomato supply is starting to dry up so I'm going to have to start buying tomatoes at the store again.

I almost forgot...

I had lunch today with a friend at Yours Truly. Next to waffles and dry English muffins, my third favorite item on the menu is The Envelope - a fresh pita pocket stuffed with spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, and muenster cheese served with a side of salad dressing. It was so good. I noticed that Yours Truly is featuring chips and guacamole on their specials menu for the month of August. If I go back and have a bigger appetite, I'll have to try it.

Weekend Update

I had some tasty grub over the weekend...starting with Dave's Cosmic Subs. Oh, how I love the Hight Ashbury. Dave's sauce is so delicious! And I was surprised to find vegetarian baked potato soup. That was a first for me at a restaurant.

Later on Saturday I had dinner at the Cornerstone Brewery. I'm not a beer drinker, but I heard their suds were pretty good. I enjoyed a hearty salad and a white pizza made with a really sauce.

Sunday brought breakfast from Yours Truly with the absolutel best waffles in town and the worst coffee. For lunch, I had some lovely prepared foods from Whole Foods. After my bountiful shopping trip to the store I was able to prepare a nice dinner of herbed chicken (Yves - soy), asparagus in a white wine and garlic sauce, and smashed yukon potatoes.
