[2018] 085/365: Python Online Classes
Guys, I haven’t taken a class in so long that my brain was going all crazy. Listening to someone talk constantly was a bore but thankfully this dude is energetic enough to get me going.
It’s been a good few days and I now have less than three hours left on this course until I get some fancy virtual certificate.
Then I’ll be hitting up some other courses in hopes that it’ll help me with any job searches.
Fingers crossed for me, y’all!
Scruffy and I started out the day at Andrew’s then late lunch at Songkran Thai Grill.
We were going to order entrees until we saw the menu for all-you-can-eat dim sum, Thai style, for $14.95 per person.
We over ordered and are all stuffed to the brim. Their green beans and coconut green curry chicken were the most outstanding dishes.
I went home with Rizzo afterwards. This is him getting shut eye while sitting up in his booster car seat.

After much bouncing around he decided this was the best route for his head. Too funny.
The internet is out at my house so it’s all old school DVDs. Currently watching a Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie then maybe restart One Tree Hill. Hmm … Good night everyone!
Scruffy and I had lunch at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar.
They are so high tech. Touchscreens, conveyor belts, dish counting, etc. The germaphobe in me wonders if anyone touches but doesn’t grab the dish but the germaphobe in me is also happy that they are all covered.
Some of the dishes we got. The black dish was not on the conveyer belt. Special ordered. Also, if you wanted any green plate ones made just for you, you could order on the touchscreen as well.
After fifteen green dishes went into the dish counting system, the touchscreen contraption sounded and out popped a prize.
What a great idea! Especially for little kids. I got little sushi stickers which are super adorable. I’m going to use this in my planner to commemorate this day. Best. Date. Ever.
Afterward, we went home and grabbed all three pups, Rizzo, Luna, and Miles. I made Rizzo have a fast photoshoot. How adorable is he?!

Maybe not so adorable after seeing this picture. I promise, no one got hurt! This is how he plays, teeth and all. I love how the little pit bull pup looks. Kinda like, “Um, hey, you’re overreacting.”
When we got back, we saw this squirrel sitting like this for a good two minutes in the driveway staring back at us.
After bathing all the dogs, and taking showers ourselves, Scruffy relaxed with some video games and I relaxed with some online Python classes. Then Andrew came over, we ordered Pizza Hut delivery, and have been sitting on the couch watching telly since.
We lead an interesting life, I know. I’m ready for bed, but first, more Python learning/telly watching.
Home Chef Ingredients for Beef & Pepper Tamale Pie
[2018] 082/365: Home Chef’s Beef & Pepper Tamale Pie
I forgot to put the recipe card in the picture but you know how that could look so … let’s pretend it’s there, kcool.
Our second and last Home Chef meal was made for a late lunch.
Home Chef | Beef & Pepper Tamale Pie
Scruffy thought the tamale part would be made of masa but … we were duped with cornbread. So it’s pretty much like a chili with cornbread on top type of deal.
Home Chef | Beef & Pepper Tamale Pie
Surprisingly, not bad. I even suggested that next time Scruffy made his “famous” chili, we should put some cornbread on the leftovers the next day and make something like this.
Overall, not disappointed with Home Chef. If I was in a funk or was too lazy to go out and get the ingredients and measure them out, I’ll probably do this again. But maybe not for the price. It’s way too expensive. But this does help open doors for other meals in the future.
I want to try other meal service deliveries. Does anyone have any codes for discounts? If you want, I can send you an invite for Home Chef and we can BOTH get $30 off. At least, that’s how I understood it so …yeah.
Scruffy’s parents got home from India tonight. They all had tuna sandwiches and I had a tuna salad. YUM! It was perfect with all the heavy foods we have been eating this week.
All the spices Ashy hauled back from India is pictured above. It’s so crazy but I’m so excited to make some Indian dishes!!
I went home this morning and brought along my pasta leftovers. Mum made me some surf clams so I had a couple of those as well. I’m so happy I remembered to bring them back to Scruffy’s to enjoy as a snack later!
Before I started eating and watching TVB’s Sniper Standoff, I handed Rocky a cow’s cheek to chew on since he hasn’t gotten a treat from me in a long time. Poor baby. I wonder if he misses Rizzo.
Home Chef Ingredients for Steak Au Poivre
[2018] 081/365: Home Chef’s Steak Au Poivre
After hanging out with my parents and June for a bit, I went back to Scruffy’s and we started to cook our first Home Chef meal!
Home Chef | Steak Au Poivre with Roasted-Onion Mashed Potatoes
Scruffy wanted to stray away from the recipe a few times but I kept telling him to stick to the recipe. He always makes steak the same way so this was something new to him and the end result was better than he’d expected. Oh, and pairing it with red wine was an added bonus.
After doing this recipe, I noticed how big his family’s plates are! The portions look so tiny on the plate but it was more than enough! I am so stuffed and happy.
If your boyfriend isn’t much into taking you to those fancy Sur La Table cooking classes, then this is a better route.
Tomorrow we will be trying Beef and Pepper Tamale Pie. I cannot wait to see how that turns out and what my thoughts on this meal delivery service.
Stay tuned!
P.S. If you want $30 off, I can refer you! Just let me know and I’ll send you an invite! We can both get $30 off!!
