Chipotles Boo-Rito Day (free burrito if you dress like a burrito)

I'm told that you can just wrap some aluminum foil around your finger and it
counts as a costume.

The flier from Chipotles states:

Burritos, tacos and bowls, Oh my!

Come in on Halloween dressed like a

Chipotle burrito, taco, bowl or salad

and we'll complete your costume with a

FREE BURRITO.

Once again everyone ordered the same thing.
Today was the combination plate.
Lamb, rice, moussaka, pastichio, dolmades, etc.

We celebrated a birthday there, so I have dessert photos to share.

Hint: Save room for dessert! Their desserts are incredible.
I want to return for my birthday.

The dessert they served for the birthday cake is called Galaktobouriko.

(Thick milk custard pie, with phyllo, Topped with rich honey syrup)
It is wonderful! The birthday boy shared some with me.

Our group also ordered the chocolate cake and the flan.

The service here is fantastic!
Our waiter is interested in cameras and I enjoyed discussing the history of cameras with him.

I've used a variety of cameras over the years (digital, 35mm, large format 4x5, disc, 126, 110, underwater, pinhole, 3d camera) but he had experience with medium format cameras too, which I've never used.

Dinner at Pompei's in River Forest

Everyone ordered the same thing, the lasagna.
So I don't have a lot of variety to show you.
I would've ordered the spinach-ricotta pizza, but they were out and they said it would be an hour before more was available.

So here are photos of the bread, garlic-cheese bread and the lasagna.

Enjoy!

Big Bowl stir fry restaurant in Schaumburg, IL

Photos from the Big Bowl stir fry restaurant in Schaumburg, IL

My family orders the stir fry.
So we pick out a protein (chicken, tofu, salmon, etc.),
select a sauce (chinese ginger garlic with a side of thai coconut curry) ,
choose rice or noodles and then
pick out our veggies to be cooked with it from the veggie bar.

I love this place!

I even like their restroom door signs!
