The Orange Ball

by Leave a Comment

Mushroom & Salami Omelette

Scruffy had to go into work today so I was home alone, made a mushroom and salami omelet. I know, I know. It sounds HORRIBLE. But it wasn’t bad and I wanted to use what was at home instead of ordering food.

2018 | 072/365 | Luna and the Orange Ball & Rizzo

[2018] 072/365: The Orange Ball

I searched for jobs and threw balls for Luna. She jumped on the couch for a split second to get my attention so that I’d throw the ball for her. Hopefully, Scruffy’s parents don’t see this because she is NOT allowed on the couch! I told her to get off pronto (after I got this picture) so hopefully … that helps?!

This girl is obsessed with this orange ball, actually, tennis balls too. Rizzo also likes the orange ball and when he wants to play, which is very rare, I would have to hold Luna back else Rizzo won’t stand a chance. haha

Rizzo Sitting On Couch

His eyes staring at me like he’s pleading, “Mommy, can I please have the ball? She won’t share.” haha

Fanoosh - Biryani & Burger | Sugar Land, Texas | Classic Burger, Seasoned Fries, House Fries

Classic Burger [grass-fed 80/20 1/2 pounder, American cheese served with lettuce, onion, tomato & Fanoosh sauce] | $7 • Seasoned Fries [Fanoosh seasoned fries] | $4 • House Fries [seasoned fries, chopped burger, cheddar jack cheese, Fanoosh sauce, onions, cilantro] | $6

Scruffy came home and we decided to go to dinner at Fanoosh, just opened. I was excited about the House Fries and was actually pretty happy with them. The burger, on the other hand, was raw. Scruffy has been on the toilet for a while. Hopefully, that’s enough to paint you a picture. He left a picture and a Yelp review and the owners answered quickly after but other than the fries, I am not sure if I can trust the burgers.

Since then, Rizzo and I have gone back home. I’m ready for bed! Night, everyone!

Getting Fat On This Harry Potter Marathon

by Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

We started Harry Potter #6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, last night but Scruffy was falling asleep so we called it a night and finished it this morning while eating lunch.

Thai Cottage | Door Dash

We used our Door Dash credits and got Thai Cottage. Mmm …

2018 | 071/365 | Tea Time

[2018] 071/365: Tea and “Crumpets”

After many hours, I had tea, Scruffy, coffee, and shared a slice of Chinese chiffon cake.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

We ate our leftover Thai Cottage and started watching Harry Potter #7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.

I’m so excited for him to finish this marathon so we could get to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I don’t know if he’d wanna watch it though.

2018 | 070/365 | Crown Seafood, Houston, Texas | Dim Sum

[2018] 070/365: Dim Sum with Ex-Co’s

Sissy and BIL left and Scruffy and I headed over to Crown Seafood for dim sum with my old co-workers and their boyfriends, Juhi and Vijay, Erin and John.

85 Degree Celsius Bakery | Sugar Land, Texas | Vanilla Cake, Egg Tart, Cheese Tart, Milk Tea

Afterward, Scruffy dropped me off to pick up some goodies from 85 Degrees Celsius Bakery.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Then we proceeded to finish Harry Potter #3, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Then, Harry Potter #4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

He then went off to play some video games while I organized my photos and watched Will & Grace.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

After a few hours, he asked if I wanted to watch Game of Thrones or more HP. I was surprised when he was okay with Harry Potter #5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He’s a trooper.

I wonder if we’ll be getting to anymore tonight or he’ll call it quits until another day.

I’m enjoying this because we rarely watch movies together!

Sissy and Significant Other Day

HEB Crawfish and Shrimp Boil with Corn and Potatoes

Sissy, BIL, and their pups came over and we went and each got our own lunches. Scruffy and I ended up with crawfish/shrimp boil but I ended up eating most of it.

We sat around, talking and watching telly then played games like Istanbul and Munchkin.

Cafe Caspian | Houston, Texas | Bread abd Herbs, Dolman Leaves, Hummus

Soon, it was time for our reservations at Cafe Caspian. We started off with bread and herb platter ordering dolman leaves and hummus.

2018 | 069/365 | Cafe Caspian | Houston, Texas | Lamb Shank

[2018] 069/365: Best Lamb Shanks

I was pretty much stuffed when our entrees came out. My always favourite here is lamb shanks. I have so much left over that I am excited to have it for dinner tomorrow.

Cafe Caspian | Houston, Texas | Vegetarian Ghormeh Sabzi

Sissy tried something new and wished that there was more flavour. I assured her the flavour probably came from the meats they cook it with.

Cafe Caspian | Houston, Texas | Saultani

Scruffy got something different and although it was delicious, he said he’ll stick with the Koobideh.

Cafe Caspian | Houston, Texas | Koobideh with Sweet Saffron Rice

BIL got something he’s never had and ended up liking it! He even ordered the Sweet Saffron rice and it tasted like dessert to me.

Right now, we’re back to playing games. I’m falling into a food coma. Save me!

2018 | 068/365 | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

[2018] 068/365: Harry Potter #2

We got through the second one! I cannot wait until we are watching the fourth one since Scruffy has seen them up to the third I believe.

Nick's Italian Restaurant | Richmond, Texas

We went back to my house for a bit then picked up dinner from Nick’s Italian Restaurant. Thank goodness we picked it up. The service for that was horrible so I cannot even imagine dining in. I guess they can be that way since their food is “the best”!

Let’s just say, no hostess, owner/manager walks around and does nothing while others are waiting for someone to help us out. When they do, they cannot seem to multitask. The server assured me four times that my food was ready yet it took forever. Ridiculous. And let’s not forget the owner/manager yelling across the restaurant then proceeding to yell, “Come here!” to the server.

Nick's Italian Restaurant | Richmond, Texas | Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmigiana, Cannoli

Chicken Marsala [chicken scaloppini with mushrooms sauteed in a Marsala wine sauce] | $16.50 • Chicken Parmigiana [breaded chicken breast topped with mozzarella cheese and pomodoro sauce] | $16.50 • Chocolate Chip Cannoli | ~$7

The food wasn’t bad. I wouldn’t say it’s the best ever but for a to-go order, it was pretty good. I don’t mind picking up from them again.

Andrew came over and we hung out a bit. They’re now upstairs playing video games, remotely, with Blake. I’m ready for bed.
