iScream

.

How many times have we been to iScream, together or separately? Who can say. I have settled on getting a Mexican Chocolate / Salted Caramel each time, but Lady Steed's choice of Raspberry this time filled me with regret for sticking with my standby. That was some fine raspberry ice cream. May raspberries stay in season long enough for us to swing by once more.

The Hot Shop

.

I don't know any other Afghan/Mexican-fusion burrito shops, but we quite enjoyed our first visit to Albany's popular Hot Shop, just a smidge around the corner from Solano on San Pablo.


Lady Steed got the artichoke-lamb; I got the garlic-lime-chicken. I liked mine better, but hers was great. About what you'd suspect, I imagine. The on-table sauces were sweet and spicy. Much to like her. No, it won't replace Gordo's for us (visited most recently last Saturday), but it may well be a place we revisit.
