Meeting Maggie

March 15, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Ashy and I haven’t seen one another since the day Scruffy and I broke up. We’ve had a handful of pleasantries by texts throughout the year+ and finally made plans for him to stop by since he wanted to give Mum some succulents.

Ashy, Maggie, Rizzo, Mellie Dee

I had the lovely pleasure of finally meeting Maggie the Beagle. She is a little bigger than Rizzo and they got along pretty well. No growls, all love from Rizzo which is a first and with his tail wagging non-stop. I guess he missed Ashy.

We both held each other’s dogs for the hour or so conversation we had catching up about each other’s lives. It was nice to see how happy he is which was all I ever wanted for him.

Ashy and his Plants

When we finished our conversation, he started taking out all the plants and succulents he brought Mum. She was in love with it all. My favourite was the red cactus.

These plants brought back up our usual talk of opening up our own wedding business, 50/50, which he was still down for. Wishing it was true but also afraid to since he said I’d have to bring the business and, let’s be real, I have no friends or connections.

Maggie and Rizzo

Rizzo loved sniffing Maggie’s butt and followed her around our backyard while Ashy and Mum walked around her garden. When I look at Maggie, all I see is Daisy, but with much fresher breath.

We bid our farewells and I continued watching Bitten, a show I started last night and am already on season 3 because I’m crazy like that. I also got to video chat with Emmy and her favourite word right now is booty in Chinese. She said “Goodbye, booty!” in Chinese as she ended our conversation. How lovely.

Salmon and Veggies

I made a lovely baked salmon dinner with ALL the veggies roasted nicely tonight. And I mean all, broccoli, asparagus, zuchinnis, carrots and cherry tomatoes. If you know me, this is my favourite go to dinner to make and eat and have never gotten tired of it. And with the quarantine coming, I’m going to need to search for more salmon!

Tandoori Grill | Katy, Texas

Tandoori Grill | Katy, Texas

I finally found an Indian place comparable to Bombay Grill that delivers, Tandoori Grill. Friday, for lunch, I ordered lamb samosas, chicken vindaloo, chana masala, aloo Gobi, garlic naan and papadum. Their spice level is actually not bad and actually have spicer options than what I chose. This place has better naan and they don’t skimp out on the rice unlike Bombay Grill so that’s a big plus!

Simply 7 Jalapeno Lentil Chips

With Coronavirus panic I joked I am fine as long as I got one of my favourite snacks, lentil chips. Winner here as Whole Foods delivered a couple bags of this as well as popcorn.

Coronavirus Hot Pot

June has been craving hot pot so we went and bought a bunch of vegetables today and had a small party with just us gals. It’s a much simpler meal than our usual hot pot and we were perfectly okay with it.

Sleepy Rizzo Cuddles

I had plans today but other than Rocky’s liver check the rest got cancelled. I’m not angry though since I got to cuddle this little baby practically all day. He rarely sleeps on me like this so I had to cherish it. He also needs a haircut.

What have you been binging on? I need recommendations since I’ve watched a lot and need new ones since I’ll be working from home starting Monday.

A Little Too Much Wine

March 10, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Chicken Dinner at Mallory's | JJ & Jacob & Mellie Dee

Cancelled meetings and meetings that take way shorter of a time than usual made for a great day. I left for Mallory’s in record time. She made us a chicken dinner with pilaf and corn. I call this white people food and I don’t mind it one bit.

I was able to get JJ to take fake naps which was calming. And he loved the Frozen favour bag I brought back for him from Emmy’s party.

I did however drink a little too much wine mixed with not enough sleep. I knocked out for a short bit after John got back. Whoops.

Rosanna & Duy Wedding Invite

I came home to Rosanna & Duy’s wedding invite! I’m excited and need to take that Monday off. One and only wedding this year and I’m surprisingly okay with it. I’m wedding out from the past decade filled with them.

At Home Seafood Boil Cheat

March 8, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

The drive was pretty brutal since I slept super late and woke up quite early. I came home and pretty much did nothing.

Seafood Boil with Leftover Sauce

I did make a delicious dinner though! I used the extra seafood boil sauce we bought and froze. Shrimp, octopus, potatoes, jalapeno sausage, mushrooms and corn. Freaking spicy but delicious.

I need to learn how to make the sauce the way restaurants do so I don’t have to go out for it ever again! Patsy makes pretty good sauce so I need to reach out to her to share it with me.

2020 | Gordon's Birthday

We celebrated Gordon’s Birthday today. Since Coronavirus is going a little crazy and Grandma can easily get it, we decided to do dinner at Kenny’s instead. Good food, great sweets.

Peacefully Sleeping | Rizzo

I love when Rizzo sleeps so peacefully. Love him so much.

2020 | Emmy’s 3rd Birthday

March 7, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Rizzo on the way to Dallas

Thursday’s work was literally meetings to where I felt I was dying. I tried so hard to leave early but I failed and ended up not leaving the office until 5pm. Once I got home, I jumped into the car with the my parents an June and headed to Dallas. Rizzo got his own seat this time. He usually stays in his cage. It was creepy how he kept staring at me the whole drive. He did manage to sleep for a bit though.

Wu Wei Din Chinese Cuisine | Plano, Texas | DoorDash

On the drive, I ordered Wu Wei Din Chinese Cuisine from DoorDash. This is just some of it. Delicious as usual.

Rizzo Emmy Collar

Everyone was still awake, along with Emmy when we got there. She stayed up with us until almost 2am as we all got ready for the party. We screamed happy birthday to her when the clock turned to midnight. She loved putting things around Rizzo’s neck and played with June most of the time until we were somewhat up to par with the decorations. As everyone slept, I signed on and worked for a bit and finished the reunion episode of Love is Blind.

2020 | Emmy’s 3rd Birthday | Mellie Dee & Emmy | Ukulele

When we woke up I gave Emmy her present. A ukulele. Sadly, I ordered black and the orange came instead but I wanted her to know I gave her this present so we opened it up, strummed a few chords, and packed it back up. Her actual one should come tomorrow but I won’t be here to teach her.

Manna Shabu | Plano, Texas | June

June and I went and ran some errands then had lunch. We decided on Manna Shabu for our own hot pot buffet. This was a pretty awesome place that gave us different Korean style pancakes to eat while we waited for our food to heat up. Great selection of foods to get and lots of different sauce choices which is rare at many hot pot places. Overall, great experience.

Zero Degrees | Plano, Texas | June

We walked around for a bit then went and picked up drinks from Zero Degrees. I also got June a garlic noodle in case there wasn’t anything for her to eat tonight.

2020 | Emmy's 3rd Birthday | Decorations

We played with Emmy for a bit and got her to take a nap. I worked for a bit, took a super quick nap and continued to help decorate. This is Emmy’s unamused look with the fact that she had to sit there, not able to eat the goodies on the table.

2020 | Emmy's 3rd Birthday | Food

So much food and sweets for the birthday girl. The cake is crazy awesome. Everything is edible!

2020 | Emmy's 3rd Birthday | Wand

Emmy and the other kids made wands. She loved hers and I can’t get over her dress!

2020 | Emmy’s 3rd Birthday | Mellie Dee & Jenny Soju

I finally got to see Jenny again and we knocked back a few shots with the group, took a selfie per usual and sent it over to Travis.

It’s been a long day. Tomorrow, we head back to Houston. Whomp.
