TOM'S TACOS

I'm working on Sunday again, and the fab crew here all decide to try the crispy tacos at Tom's Tacos down the street. The Tacos are good, but could have used a little more meat. My Wet Burrito was pretty good, but would have been better with some cheese on it. We all decided the best thing from Tom's were the Beef Tamales- big, meaty and very tasty.

THE DEPOT PART TWO- THE DESSERTS

Yes, this post is all about the desserts at The Depot! They just kept coming. Count 'em. All Beautiful and All Delicious. My favorites were the Banana Cream Pie and the Lemon Creme Brulee. Nothing left at our table but a few Brownies (and they went home with someone).

I think the desserts saved the evening!

The "gang" from work gathered together tonight at The Depot (www.depotrestaurant.com/) in Torrance for a company sponsored dinner/lecture. We love The Depot-it's a beautiful restaurant with a great chef and a wonderful menu. Tonight's dinner is served "family style" with Caesar Salad and three entrees: Tuscan Grilled Chicken, Penne Pasta in Marinara with Rock Shrimp and Pesto Pan-fried Salmon. My personal "fav" was the Salmon.

Comments from our table ranged from "pretty good" to "just ok". But the real hit of the evening was the desserts- so extensive an array, that I saved it for a separate post!
