Ed and I met at Black Walnut Café in Cinco Ranch.

Ed and I shared the Garlic Cheese Bread for starters. These are the devil. They were so good that we couldn’t stop and was sad when it was over.
I got the Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup as my main entree. The soup wasn’t something to talk about and if you love cheese, this grilled cheese is perfect for you.
I was so full but Ed wanted to hang out some more before he had to go to work so we went to Starbucks down the street. He paid for my Green Tea Frap since I paid for the appetizer.
Afterward, I went home and played my guitar. Ed re-strung all the strings for me since I’m always afraid it will pop in my face (because that has happened before).
Reunited and it feels so good!
I headed into Sugar Land to meet up with Amanda. It was supposed to be us and two of her other friends but they couldn’t make it. Oh well, more time for us to catch up!
I went to pick her up and we headed to:
Bravos Mexican Restaurant
4514 Texas 6
Sugar Land, TX
(281) 494-3340
Amanda has never been to happy hour before so we popped her happy hour cherry. I believe it was also the first time she’s drank since her birthday celebration.
Chips & Dip | Free. Much needed with our drinking.
Strawberry Margarita. There is too much alcohol in that shizz. After this, I know I do not like margaritas. Beer for me, please.

After much talking and sucking those babies down, I drove her home and headed home.
After reading Rachael’s post about Recommitting, I hopped on the treadmill. I obviously did not do a 6-mile tempo run like she did (I haven’t even reached that point yet!) but I did do a 25-minute run and a 25-minute butt and thigh exercise.
I feel better already but it’s going to be hard to go back to how I did three weeks ago. I should have not quitted for so long! Ah, you’re stupid, Melissa. But I did better than I thought. I even up the tempo a little more than I usually did.
Thanks, Rachael, for that post. You saved me.
Now I’m sucking down a blueberry smoothie with too much milk. I ran out of yogurt so it’s mostly milk and ice. Still delicious.
Tomorrow is going to be another Food-venture!! Mum and I will be attending lunch at one of the Houston Restaurant Week locations. Then I can cross it off my Bucket List!
Night!
I love grilled cheese! You can never go wrong with that. Extra cheese = extra happy! Mexican food is also amazing. Definitely one of my faves! My DREAM is to learn how to play the guitar. I think it’s such a beautiful sounding instrument!
I self-taught .. or I guess self-learning for 2 yrs now. I’m not that great but I’m slowly learning. Do it! Make your dream a reality! It’s so much fun!! (:
I love Black Walnut Cafe – so good! And way to go on getting out there and running! And you’re not stupid for quitting for so long – it’s all a learning process! 🙂
Do they have one by your place? They have such dang good garlic bread! haha Without your motivational post, I wouldn’t have gotten back on. (:
Hey! Everytime I read your blog, I feel happy..( with nall those yummy pics ) Maybe I’ll post some recipes, too for a change, eh? But I don’t think my regular readers would be interested in recipes, Most of them are emos, so i have to be emos too, hahah. One of these days though, it will be food galore. Check out my old Thanksgiving, Christmas and new year posts… food galore that I helped cooked.
Thanks girl! I just LOVE trying new places and food! Plus this blog started out as me being accountable to make something new once a month. (: You don’t have to be emo because your readers are emo! I’m sure they love looking at food too! 😉
