Thank you Tim for opening up your home for Harry Potter-a-thon 2010. Watching Harry Potter 6 and then to go out for HP7. And, for inviting your fun friends Jim and Kristin to join us! Of course, brunch ran long (its always about the food!) so by the time Sara and Heather were ready to pick up foodie related items for the movies, it was already a bit late. Fortunately, Julie texted while we were about 3 minutes from her house mentioning that she wanted to join. Let the adventures begin!!
Poor Julie was recovering from a long shift at Mercy and not feeling that well (which makes her even more of a trouper for this journey!) After picking her up, we headed towards Tyrones on North Avenue. Having no idea what to expect but bracing ourselves for the worst! On the way, we passed Joe Squared, and while we had crossed off Iggies pizza, we hadn't done the "sister pizza" to that one and same number so kind of thought, why not grab a pie to go? We ordered from the car and headed into Tyrones.
Tyrones was an easy stop. Well, only difficult because of the hunger factor - mostly Julie - a long shift and no food will do that to you! Got the chicken box. Well, actually two. Then a shrimp box for Sara to substitute. Then lake trout for Julie to cross that one off. Then the grape soda that came with the chicken boxes. Yum. Or so we thought. The smell not so much (Heather probably is still smelling it in her car!!)
The chicken box was disappointing to all. There's really nothing wrong with fried shrimp so that was good. The lake trout was very scary. Best part was probably the grape soda (mixed with vodka - yum!!)
The Joe Squared pizza was incredible. Cold by the time we ate it but very good and definitely gave Iggies a run for its money.
Hope Tim's cat Macy enjoyed the leftovers. Thought Tim did mention that the lake trout was better the second day.
Got to just mention the movies. HP6 - great as always. Wizard of Oz - almost too much on Tim's tv. Color was very, very bright. Still a great movie but just a bit more odd.
Now, off to HP7 and Sofis Crepes!
Quote of the day from Julie "Oh my God, I can't eat that, it has the fins and wings and everything." Actually, it's gills and it really did have the tail, too. We all did ultimately pick at it. It's definitely better with hot sauce and other stuff. But, we did lake trout again, and I for one, never need to do it again. It's been twice, that's plenty for a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree with Sara on the grape soda, better with vodka! Oh and chicken box, not that great - they charge extra for white meat chicken. But, Julie did enjoy the $1 Pepsi machine.
