Hello my Doodies. It’s been a while since I’ve read a blog. Thanks a lot broken laptop (and because I’ve been busy). I’m on my desktop so all is well. I’ll definitely read the blog posts I’ve missed tomorrow night!

Yesterday a coworker had a birthday so we went out to lunch. Our wonderful BossMan paid for our meal … with his own credit card when we were through eating. I was very surprised. I never expect anyone to ever pay for me so it’s always a big shock to me when they do. We went to:

Kasra Persian Grill
9741 Westheimer Rd
Houston, TX 77042
(713) 975-1810
www.kasrahouston.com

Taftoon Bread [served with herb plate of basil, mint, parsley, green onion, radish & feta cheese | Free

So freaking good. There were crunchy parts because it was thin, then there were fluffy parts. Gah, we literally had plates of that.

Hummus [ground chickpeas, sesame seed paste, garlic & lemon juice] | $4

Not sure if you can see it in the picture with the Taftoon Bread but this is by far the best hummus I’ve ever had. If you love hummus you have to go here and try it – take me with you. You won’t regret it. Especially when you eat it with that wonderful bread.

Shishleek Combo (C2) [one skewer with a combination of Beef Chenjeh and Chicken Barg served with grilled vegetables & Basmati white rice] | $10.99

I took a few forkfuls of that Basmati rice. I would of cleaned that all up but after all that bread I felt it would be carb overload. The beef (a little pink inside) was juicer than the chicken so I ate one of the chicken pieces and gave the rest away. As for the grilled vegetables, it came with two slices zucchinis, two slices slices onions, two slices tomatoes, and one slices bell pepper. The zucchinis and bell pepper were on point but the onions still felt raw to me. I didn’t even try the tomatoes because … ew.

Will I come back here? Heck yes I would. I already know what I’m going to order. Taftoon Bread (keep them coming), Hummus and Beef Chenjeh with a small side of Basmati white rice me. Thank you. Cannot wait to take Mum here.

*The prices indicated above is for the Lunch Menu.

We had a 7-hour workshop today and we didn’t finish everything so it continues to tomorrow. Bleugh! But I can’t complain much. We got free Pappasito’s for lunch AND one more day before the weekend! Dun Dun Dunnnnnnn … I’ve got plans to see the wonderful Apurva. Cannot wait!

The weekend is almost here y’all! Keep on truckin’!

Every day starts fairly the same. A cup of Yogi tea for a daily inspirational quote. Ran out of Kombucha … who wants to restock my stash?

Working hard … obviously. But seriously … work was crazy today. Our main water pipe burst so we had to walk to a different building to pee. Also ate lunch with BossMan and another coworker. Was kind of weird at first but it got a little better.

Happy Hour with Mallory at:

G Bar
15455 Memorial Drive
Houston, TX 77079
(281) 497-2725

They gave out free ravioli! I got a Guinness (of course) and she got margarita on ice. And the bartender was SUPER nice!

Loved the way the place is set up! Like a living room with a bar! With a fireplace and everything!

The only thing weird was the customers. This one girl seem to look like she was working the place … if you know what I mean.

We moved our Happy Hour to:

Cafe Benedicte
15455 Memorial Drive
Houston, TX 77079
(281) 558-6607
www.cafebenedicte.com

and Samantha met up with us.

Bread & Butter | free

Not too sure what was in the butter but my gosh … too good. Garlic perhaps? Must try. Just don’t overdose on it.
The bread itself was hard on the outside and super soft on the inside. YUM.

Hurricanes

Not a fan. Too fruity for me so Samantha took the rest.

Colorado Bulldog

Ordered this instead which is like a White Russian mixed with root beer? Too strong.
Was not a big fan of it either. But liked it better than the Hurricanes.

Lobster Bisque | cup $4.75

Yum. Didn’t care for the lobster pieces inside but the soup. MY GOSH.
Mallory ordered two soups but they were no match for this delicious one.

Gyro [with romaine, tomatoes, and Tzatziki Sauce in Greek pita bread, slow roasted lamb, house fries] | Half $7.95

I didn’t really like the pita bread. So I ate the inside only.
The fries were yummmmmmmm! They’re potatoes. Come on! Of course they’re yum.

I know I’m making it sound like I didn’t like this place but it really wasn’t at all bad. Very expensive if you look at the menu and get the whole meal but I would come here again and try something.

Came home to a full house of dogs and people. Brother and Tammy are home for about a week and brought Krypto along. It’s nice to have them here but it would of been better if it wasn’t due to these circumstances. My cousins’ grandma passed away last week and we have a funeral to go to this Saturday.

This picture is of all the dogs waiting patiently for my brother to drop any of the food he’s eating. Too cute.

Watching the Spurs vs Heat game. Go Spurs Go!

And then watching the Redbox movies we rented! Yay!!

Hope y’all had a great Thursday!

Friday, two of my coworkers, Endrina & Edie, (they call me “daughter”, I call them “mama”) took me out for lunch as a super early birthday celebration. Any May babies out there?!

Nit Noi Thai Restaurant & Cafe
1005 Dairy Ashford Rd
Houston, TX 77057
(281) 496-9200
www.nitnoithai.com

Ordered our array of curry and it came with free salad! Score. Too saucy though but still good. No picture … just picture a salad.

Crispy Spring Rolls [2 per order] | $2.95 each

Endrina ordered two orders of this, It tasted more like coleslaw without the mayonnaise in that little wrapped roll. Not a fan. If I was to go by myself with someone else, I would not recommend this.

Red Curry Hurry [with beef] | $9.95

I got it with Medium spice. This was the only curry out of all the others she asked what level of spiciness I wanted it. And it was the perfect level. I loved this one a lot. It had potatoes, pineapples, beef, basil, and green beans.

The only thing I could do without is the pineapples but it didn’t bother me. Mmm … most recommended.

Panaeng is Curry So Hurry [with chicken] | $9.95

Filled with chicken and green beans. The flavor from this one tasted like Mum’s curry so I automatically liked this a lot. They said it tasted a little bitter … which I don’t agree but all our palettes are different. I would recommend this to people for sure!

Musamun is Curry Too [with chicken and tofu] | $9.95

Filled with carrots, potatoes, tofu, chicken, and potatoes. My least favorite. Not sure why but it was sweeter and had a more peanut taste to it. I would only recommend this if they stopped serving the other two.

The good: As much rice as you’d like. I don’t think they charged us extra for that.

The bad: lack of ingredients in the curry. It was super saucy which is great for rice but if they made the price go up just a little and added more ingredients, it would be well worth it.

Edie bought me a present. Yay pens. I’m excited. I wish I had super important documents to sign … like a real business woman.

Internet is almost here. I am too excited to be able to connect with y’all whenever the heck I want!

Happy Tuesday, y’all!
