El Kourmet | Panntea | Katy, Texas

February 29, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Salim always joked about having to pack an overnight bag and get a hotel whenever he makes a trip to visit me in Katy.

He committed to making that drive today and noticed just how far I trek every time I used to go out there for work, happy hours with ex-coworkers, or any hangouts with him I did.

He said he’ll do better in making our hangouts more equal but we’ll see it to believe it.

He came to my house and I drove us to El Kourmet. He’s from Venezuela and I was told by my Venezuelan friends, this was the best. We ordered arepas and tequenos. Tequenos are like mozzarella sticks, but better. And the arepas were so freaking delicious. I want to come back and try the empanadas. He also ordered Maltin soda. Thankful we only got one since it was so sweet. It reminded him of home so I guess it did it’s thing.

We stopped by at Mallory’s to drop off her keys she left in my car. JJ was so dang sweet. He jumped into my arms and gave me so many kisses.

Salim and I went on our merry way to our next destination for boba which has become a thing of tradition everytime we hangout. I chose Panntea since I’ve never been and if didn’t dissapoint. He got the regular Royal Milk Tea and I got the Matcha Brown Sugar Milk Tea. He liked mine more than his and I’d have to agree. We also ordered spicy popcorn chicken and a eel onigiri. both pretty good but nothing to rave about.

We went to HMart after hoping to find durian for him to try. He said he’s smelled it before and thought it smelled really good. We didn’t find the durian but found jackfruit and now that he things about it, he thinks the person trying to sell him durian lied and it was actually jackfruit.

When we bid our farewells, we talked about having to go back to El Kourmet for empanadas, get Crawfish, and durian. Not sure when our next hangout is but I’m already ready to eat!

I took a nice nap and did some side projects before I made dinner. Mum got me a nice piece of steak and I paired it with roasted asparagus and broccoli. This is probably one of the best steaks I’ve ever made. Getting better every time!

More side projects and Gotham before bed. Night world!

Pho and Dessert Delivered Working at Home

Due to the water burst in East Houston we all got to work from home today. June didn’t have to work so she made plans with my parents for lunch and kindly brought something back for me!

After work I ran some errands and headed over to Mallory’s. I had John’s early birthday present I wanted to give before I forgot but to also destress from such a shitty week at work. Jacob was nice enough to take a selfie with me. His eyes are so pretty. I love when he stares at me.

We ordered habachi dinners. Vegetarian for me, steak for Mallory and a whole bunch of fried rice for John. I always forget habachi has amazing fried rice! And they have one sauce that is to die for. Fits perfectly mixed with the rice.

Mallory, Jacob and I went for a sweet treat after dinner at Twistee Treat. Strawberry ice cream with a chocolate sprinkle waffle cone for me. A vanilla ice cream dipped in Cherry coating for Mallory. It is so dang simple yet so dang delicious. Their strawberry flavour doesn’t taste fake at all! This might be my new favourite ice cream place but it’s a little far.

When we got back I went with John and JJ to the clubhouse to battle Pokemons. They’re obsessed with the game and they’ve found others! So crazy. We won and I caught a Mewtwo so that’s cool.

Watson’s Happy Hour

Work this week has been a little too much. Coming back to so many issues got me going crazy. We had set up a happy hour a couple of weeks ago to vent and get away from the office. Christopher has been sick since last week so he was in quarantine. Juhi was on a bachelorette party. It was just Wacko, TJ and me but it was still great.

We talked about so many different things. We laughed a lot, like this picture where Wacko drinks with his pinky up and was freezing his butt off. We talked about way back when we knew one another and how. We talked about if we were different in the office and outside of the office.

I’m not sure when our next one is but I’m ready for round two! The weekend is almost here and although I just went on a vacation, I’m ready for my next one.

Meatballs and Spaghetti by Mallory and Beth

Work went by pretty quick, mostly because everyone knew I was catching up on work and didn’t want to bother me. I left and headed to Mallory’s after not seeing her for a whole entire week! She made meatballs and Beth mad spaghetti.

JJ was so loving. I got hugs, kisses and so much more. I guess I need to be away more so that he’ll give me sweetness and not so much salt.

I came home to my splurge from the San Diego trip. Origins skincare. Amy and I bought different things that fit our needs and she has been using hers since she checked her bag in. I just put on a few things and already love it! Everything smells so damn good!

June asked why I didn’t buy the bigger serum that costs over $100 so I told her I was waiting for her to get it for me for my birthday. She looked at me and walked away. Haha

If you’re ever in San Diego, go look for Megan. She is so attentive and caring and does not push you to get anything! She even gave me a free entire eye cream that I wanted but didn’t want to spend too much!

2020 San Diego Trip | Day 5

February 23, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I was a bit peeved that I wasn’t already home last night but getting to see Ethan was worth it, even if it was for an hour before we all went to bed. And having Pluto with me for the night was better than no dog. It was all better than being in a hotel all alone for over 24 hours back in San Diego.

2020 San Diego Trip | Day 5 | Dallas, Texas | Artisan Market & McDonald's

Brudda dropped me back off at the airport. Their international airport is legit. It reminds me of the ones in Asia. More high class. The one in Houston needs an upgrade.

I went and got a nice chai latte from Artisan Market and opted for the big breakfast at McDonald’s. I couldn’t finish everything but I’d say that oddly enough these are still my favourite pancakes. I think it brings back to special times when we’d get this and share when we were kids.

I sat waiting for my flight to board, watching Gotham. When I looked up I realized my group had boarded, the last group, and there were no lines. I almost missed my flight watching Gotham! Thank goodness I looked up. It was also nice getting a whole row to myself as well.

This has been quit an adventure. I’ve mentioned to Amy that we’ve never had a one on one hangout and we went big and did a trip together. It went so well and probably one of the least stressful trips I’ve ever been on. I’ve always thought the way I traveled was weird but Lily and Amy have validated by being the same way with travels! We’ve talked about doing another trip together as well, possibly an international one. I cannot wait for that day to come!
