Sweater Weather

[2018] 017/365: Comfy Pups

Brrr … I am rarely cold and I’ve been freezing my bootay off! I’d take this weather over the heat though. I just washed some of my blankets and I am excited to get them out of the dryer soon.

Ever since Rizzo turned two or so he stopped sleeping in my lap when I sit in chairs. These past few days he’s been begging to sleep in my lap if I’m sitting in a chair or whatnot. Must be the cold weather and wanting my heat. Poor boy. I wonder if he’ll want to wear his sweater now. Hmm …

Shrimp Boil For Days

The best dinners are Shrimp, Sausage, and Vegetable Boils. Well, that’s a lie. If crawfish was thrown in, I’d love that ten bajillion times more.

Guess what Scruffy and I are off doing?

You guessed it. We’re finally on Season 4 of Game of Thrones! Eeeeep!

Stay warm out there y’all!! And for those that have the humid, hot weather, you can keep it for a while longer. Thanks!

Winter Is Coming!!!!

Hahahaha Sorry about that. Scruffy and I have been binge watching Game of Thrones. We’re only on Season 3 – yeah, yeah we’re behind – so please, don’t ruin it for us!! Scruffy and I are cheering on Daenerys Targaryen cuz … dragons.

[2018] 016/365: Winter Is Coming To Houston

Everyone knows Houston weather is unpredictable. Yesterday was a very nice day where we were able to take Luna and Rizzo to the park. Today, the pups were walking on snowy ice! That picture is the windshield and hood of my car. I loveeeee this weather! It meant more time with Scruffy since he didn’t have to go in today.

Sakura Asian Bistro | Richmond, Texas | Sashimi Lunch

Sashimi Lunch [chef’s choice of assorted sliced fresh raw fish with Miso soup, salad, and fried rice] | $12.95

We met Andrew up for lunch. One of the only places opened, Sakura Asian Bistro. Scruffy and I shared this meal together since we weren’t too hungry. It wasn’t the very best but wasn’t horrible where we wouldn’t come back again.

Snowy Grass and Cowboy Boots

Next door was a Starbucks and Scruffy was nice enough to drive-thru and get me a nice, hot cup of Chai Tea Latte. And because of that, I was able to get that shot with the snow! #basicbiyah

I’m quite excited to see how tomorrow will be since schools are all canceled! Eeep! Probably more stores and restaurants will be closed and Scruffy will be stuck here forever. hehe

Back to snuggling up to my beau with the pups by our side as we continue to binge on GOT!

2018 | 015/365 | Grain-Free, Flour-Free Pupcakes

[2018] 015/365: Grain-Free, Flour-Free Pupcakes

We took the pups to the park to celebrate and since I had nothing much to do, I decided to make dog friendly cupcakes. It was such a joy to see how well these turned out since I didn’t use any type of flour. All the pups loved them.

See below for recipe.

Dehydrating Fruits and Vegetables

I’ve gone crazy and even started dehydrating fruits and vegetables. I’m hoping the pups will gobble these up as treats instead. Cheaper and healthier. I’ve given them taste tests and they all seem to enjoy them.

Sweet, little cupcakes for your beloved fur-baby.

Course: Dessert
Servings: 4 pupcakes
Ingredients
Pupcakes
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tbsp peanut butter*
  • 1/2 apple finely chopped**
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
Frosting
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt***
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
Preparations
  1. Set oven to 350° and grease (or use liners) cupcake tins.
  2. Mix all pupcake ingredients together until smooth.
  3. Fill cupcake tins with batter and bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  4. Mix frosting ingredients until smooth.
  5. Cool pupcakes on a wire rack before frosting.
Notes

* People tend to use creamy but I only had crunchy on hand and it still worked fine.
** Other ingredients such as carrots and sweet potatoes will work fine as well.
*** Yogurt might upset your pup. My pups seem to be okay with it. If you do use Greek yogurt, keep in mind to use plain as it’s better than the flavoured ones.

Vermicelli with char-grilled lemon grass sliced beef & fried egg roll | $7.95

[2018] 013/265: Time with Parents

I had lunch with just my parents today. Pho, my choice! I got vermicelli though. Equally delicious.

Ashy's Grilled Kabob Meal

Scruffy’s grandparents were going over to his house for dinner. When I showed up I was excited to see that it was kabobs! Mmmm … yum! I was so excited when Ashy said I could take some home. Lunch for tomorrow! Eeeep!

Luna and Gingerbread Man Toy

I agreed to babysit Luna. She’s been a handful so far since there are a total of five dogs in the house but I handed her this gingerbread toy of Rizzo’s and she fell in love.

Luna & Rizzo In Bed

I had to hide it so that she’d stop squeaking the toy and that she’ll go to bed. She’s gone to sleep now. Sweet girl. They are so cute together.
