Happy Derpy Luna

by Leave a Comment

China Bear | Stafford, Texas | Crawfish

I started out the day with some crawfish with Scruffy at China Bear. It wasn’t the best so it was disappointing. Overcooked but I guess it’s what you’d expect from a buffet. I did fill up with some veggies, shrimps, and lo mein.

99 Ranch Market | Sugar Land, Texas | Coconut Bread

Afterward, we headed over to 99 Ranch Market to get his GMama some green onion crackers. We stopped by the bakery in there for some coconut bread to take back to my family. Look at all that bread!! My goodness!

[2018] 057/365: Happy Derpy Luna

Luna kept wanting us to throw the ball for her. This girl never stops with the ball. This is her face when I said “NO MORE!”

Luna | Tongue Out Waiting for the Ball

Later we went out where I helped his dad broom some of the leaves/dirt. Here’s Luna with her tongue out, waiting for me to throw the ball. Sigh … at least Daisy lives on.

Tahdig with Vegetables and Ground Meat

Ashy made us some delicious tahdig with some veggies and ground beef mixed in. We slathered on some Harissa Hot Sauce for some flavour since his GMama can’t have sodium.

Now I’m back at my own house, while Rocky and Rizzo sleep in my bed.

Mother-Daughters Day

2018 | 055/365 | Serenity Nails & Spa | Katy, Texas

[2018] 055/365: Mother-Daughters Day

Scruffy and Luna left this morning and I went with Mum to pick up Sissy from the car dealership since she was getting so much done to her car. We went to 99 Ranch, picked up El Pollo Loco to bring home for a late lunch and after a shower, we headed out to get our nails done. Mum and I got pedicures while Sissy got Shellac on her hands.

Kim’s Tea House | Katy, Texas | Lychee Teas, Milk Tea, Taro Smoothie

We stopped by Kim’s Tea House for some delicious drinks bringing one home for June and Dad. YUM!

It’s been a chill day and I love it. I wish for more mother-daughter days but they’re tough to come by so I cherish them a lot.

Roll Me Into Bed For A Food Coma

by Leave a Comment

Jarro Cafe | Houston, Texas | Pastor Tacos

Scruffy came over with Luna this morning and after a few ball throws and work on the laptop, we headed to Jarro Cafe for the beloved tacos we’ve missed so much.

Freedom & Company | Houston, Texas

Afterwards, we headed over to Freedom & Company for a haircut. Go check her out! She’s pretty great and listens to your opinons.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas

Since Himalaya Restaruant was close by, we had to try it out – mainly because everyone says it’s the best!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Lamb Biryani

Lamb Biryani [tender pieces of lamb cooked in a magical blend of dry whole spices and then layered with fragrant Basmati rice. This is the Indo-Pakistani version of the Spanish Paella] | $12.92

This wasn’t up my alley. Scruffy liked it but I wasn’t a big fan.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Side Dishes

This side dish with a dipping sauce that Scruffy says is chutney was free. We didn’t really touch it.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Garlic Nan

Garlic Nan | $2.99

This is bomb. I wish it was as fluffy as the tandoori nan but it was still amazing mostly because of the garlic. YUM!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Pre-Set Lunch Special

Pre-Set Lunch Special Combo [delicious platter that changes daily: incles all of the following – tender boneless chicken curry, boneless lamb curry, grilled or dry appetizer, dal or vegetable (their choice), steamed basmati rice, and a fresh tandoori nan] | $13.75

This was my favourite. I liked the lamb curry, vegetable curry, rice and the nan. Other than that, I was meh about it.

I think Bombay Grill is still probably my favourite Indian food.

Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas

After being home for a while, we headed out to Kirby Ice House for Saleh’s early birthday celebration.

2018 | 054/365 | Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas | Frosted Rose and Beer

[2018] 054/365: Out After 9 PM

Scruffy and I are never out late anymore. Not too sure if it’s because we live in the suburbs or if we’re just both lazy and over it but I thought we should commemorate this. This frozen rose drink was bomb. I loved it but not so much the price.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas

They had two food trucks there but we ended up picking The Waffle Bus.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas | Chicken Thunder Fries

Chicken Thunder Fries [buttermilk fried chicken bites on top of seasoned waffle fries with spicy mayo and ancho chile honey butter] | $10

We got our usual and scarfed it down.

It was nice to see and meet other people, hang out and talk with them about things that mean nothing but we soon bid farewell since we still had to drive back and the pups were waiting for us.

Please roll me into bed now. I’m ready to be in a food coma after today’s foods.

[2018] 053/365: Rocky and Rizzo

Best friends. Well, uncle and nephew. hehe Rocky’s been sleeping in my bed at night which is a little weird but I guess this means he has missed me a lot since I was over at Scruffy’s for a while. Their little head tilts are the cutest.
