Tomorrow Lady Steed's brother's wife is making the family Indian food and we are in charge of bringing naan. So, House of Curries. But naan costs fifty cents more if that's all you buy, so we decided to get Sada Karayla (Bittermelon Cooked with Ginger, Garlic & Onion 5.99) and Chicken Vindaloo (Chicken Cooked with Potatoes in Special Vindaloo Sauce 6.99) to accompany our eight naan. But they were out of bittermelon so instead we got Daal (Yellow Lentil 5.99). And those we ate tonight. (We'll bring the leftovers with us tomorrow.)
The Chicken Vindaloo was excellent. Highly recommended. The Daal was okay. Lady Steed thought both were too spicy to taste.
We called our order in and the noise there was bad. They did not ask how spicy we wanted it, so we don't know how hot or not it was intended to be.
Note also, in the sidebar, that House of Curries now has a website.

House of Curries
.
Great again. The idea was to feed the kids so we kept everything mild, but they still decided to mix hummus into their chickpea rice to cool it down. But the chicken curry was sufficiently mild.
One word: the naan is huge. Keep that in mind when ordering.

Jerusalem Organic Kitchen
.
It's been a couple weeks so please forgive the paucity of details.
Lady Steed ordered a Jerusalem burger, which is a lamb burger and she loved it. It was filled with tasty herbs and spices and whatnot. Her original plan was just to get a standard cow burger, but switched over and did not regret it.
I had a --- I think it was called a schwarma? It came in chicken and lamb and I also went lamb. And let me tell you: this was one of the most exciting things I've eaten in a long time. It punched my face with the spicy, and it provided a medley of flavors I was utterly unfamiliar with. Would that all meals could be so filled with delicious novelty and intrigue!
It's not as varied as the menu at Barney's, but I can certainly see why it's Solano's "other" burger place. And it's the one I'll vote for next time.
(And next time we'll write up our experience quicker.)
(Also: We got Dr. Brown's sodas which are always a treat. Lady Steed got Black Cherry and I got Cel-Ray which intensified in flavor the more my mouth burned. I plan to get that again our next trip to Jerusalem as well.)

Jodie's
.
Jodie's is one of the tiniest restaurants I've ever seen (seats only six on the inside), but I've walked past it numerous times to enjoy the smells and a few words with Jodie himself. This visit was waaay overdue.
Jodie's is famous (literally) for two things: breakfast and fried chicken. We went for the fried chicken this time and although I'm not much of a fried chicken connoisseur, I must say: this may well be the finest fried chicken I have ever eaten. And the fries were tasty too. Spicy! And the toast! And, again, I'm not a connoisseur of toast, but this was delicious. I think it must've been made on the grill.

Near Miss: Rendez-Vous
Decided to go here for a late dinner on February 14th, have been wanting to try it. But after sitting down and looking over the menu, I realized that there was nothing that sounded like something I would want to eat at the moment. Plus, it was pretty expensive--I didn't want to pay 20 bucks for something I wasn't really craving. So after a bit of discussion with Theric, we left. We were both hesitant to do this since we had just been seated five minutes earlier, but I had decided I did not want to eat there, plus, they hadn't even brought us our waters yet. I noticed some other people were heading for the door and we made a break for it--Theric got his foot stuck on the table, but he made it out too. Sorry, Rendez-Vous. But I promise to come back some other time, maybe for breakfast or lunch. I would love to try your french onion soup sometime, but tonight just wasn't that night.
What was I craving you ask?
A sandwich. A hot sandwich, something with melted cheese and some meat. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find such a place after nine pm? Much harder than I thought it would be. We found a Denny's though and I found exactly what I wanted. It wasn't gourmet but it satisfied a craving, think of me what you will. Yum.
(Note from Theric: his skillet sucked.)
