Scallions Thumbs Up!

Scallions in the Heights always a good choice for lunch with a friend. 







It is convenient, good food and reasonably priced.  In warm weather you can sit outside. 
That is exactly what my friend and I did today.  

We sat on the patio; drank iced tea and caught up while waiting for our order.  Both of us ordered the Quiche.  I had Spinach Quiche with Sour Cream Potato Soup and she had Quiche Lorraine with fruit.  This plate also comes with a poppy seed muffin.  I eat mine as dessert unless I decide to take it home for breakfast.

Arg! Thumbs Up-Now Thumbs Down!

I just found out 
that McDonald's 
Caramel Frappé has 
590 calories...
naturally, I get one with whipped cream!  


Guess who just eliminated them from her vocabulary?

Starbuck's Caramel Frappuccino is off the list, too!  Their web site doesn't even mention their Frappuccino...probably same at McDonald's...too many!

Izzy's Thumbs Down

I am not sure why we keep going back to Izzy's.  I guess it's like a bad experience: the further you get away from it you lose sight of the experience itself.


We have never ordered any item that motivates us to come back.  Yet, we did it again Saturday night.  After I got home from work we didn't want to cook so away we went.  We wanted Pizza.  We want Pizza at least once a week and indeed, that is what we ordered.   Their menu has untraditional Pizzas; we went for the veggie instead of the "all meat"...our names...they have "Grab You" names.  


The crust and sauce were great.  However, it was as if they cooked they crust first. Then threw the veggies and cheese on top; stuck it back in the over to melt the cheese.  The rest is history.  There was a lot of uncooked spinach and a lot, and I mean a lot, of uncooked Zucchini squash.  Maybe the next time, and I mean maybe, we will build our own cheese pizza with Pepperoni.    The veggie pizza will not entice us to come back.  


Some people must like it.  The dining room was full.   I am not sure why.  There are better places to get Pizza....and Mexican...and hamburgers. Maybe they have found something that we haven't in the last 15 years.
