Quick takes: Curry n' More, Apollonia, Specialty's

Curry n' More in San Marcos: yelpers claim it has very fresh Indian food and is the best in the county. Yes, it's fresh, but "best in the county" are some fighting words, and it just does not beat the Sorrento Valley/Little India places for me. They messed up my spice level, plus the food is not cravable to me, especially for being so out of the way. India Princess up there has a more standard buffet, but is more delicious in my view (especially for a working mom who wants to eat and go)....Sorry!

Apollonia (Greek, UTC): Blogged about it once before but I want to blog it again, since it is not an obvious place to take your toddler...and yet we had another successful outing there when ST was in a dangerous mood. The hostesses never seem super-friendly, but we've had two super-kid-friendly waiters, who rushed us out some humus and pita so ST could avoid hitting dangerous levels of hungriness. I loved my spanaki lemonato as always; had some salmon dolmas and felafel. ST loved his lentil soup (am I lucky or what that he likes Middle Eastern food? too bad Indian is too spicy for him or we could hit the buffets like when he was a baby); humus and pita; and Daddy's "fight" (that's Sprite to you and me). CH likes their humus, and tried their boureks for the first time (to them, this equals blintze-looking stuffed-meat crepes). He likes them, but not as much as his usual staples there (like chicken couscous).

Specialty's (UTC): Still haven't made it there myself, but everyone CH has sent there in the last week is raving about it. And that bread he brought home was serious business. Too bad they aren't open on weekends!

Looks like we get to have date night in 2 weeks and then once the following weekend. Oh, the possibilities!
