LTK Crawfish | Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar | Houston, Texas

February 15, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Starbucks & Kolache Factory | Katy, Texas

The day started off with Starbucks and Kolaches. The Kolache Factory had a grand opening and I got the spin a wheel. My bad luck followed me as I passed the gift card arrow by two pins. I ended up getting a lanyard from Monster instead. Lame.

Mellie Dee & Jacob

Jacob has been better lately. Maybe he’s getting older but he seems to not cry as much when I hold him. He doesn’t like pictures though so this was the best I got. Such big eyes!

JJ & the Katy Rodeo Parade

We headed to the Katy Rodeo Parade. JJ loves all the candy that gets thrown his way. Mallory and I watched the parade while Jacob slept and John … Well John was having his own fun. He made friends with a cop and talked to him the entire time. I joked if they were going to be on a second date. I love when I get invited to little things like these because memories like that will be with me forever.

Afterward we went and spun some Pokestops so that I can get gifts to send them since I never play. When we got back I headed home and took a nice short nap.

LTK Crawfish | Houston, Texas

I headed over to Priscilla’s and we went with Padit and Ryan to pick up some Crawfish from LTK Crawfish and eat back at the house. The spice level was there but the flavour is lacking. We ordered the Traditional Garlic Butter but it was missing some depth. I don’t hate it though and for the price of was well worth it. I ordered snow crabs as well and we all got corn, potatoes and sausage. Sadly the corn was not fully cooked. The fried rice was surprisingly good as well, especially adding in the garlic butter sauce.

Copper Kettle Chocolate Factory | Tomball, Texas

On our way back to the house we stopped by Copper Kettle Chocolate Factory. The whole entire upper box was $10 for all of those chocolate covered strawberries!

I know how to play the system now. Come day after Valentine’s day and buy half a pound of chocolate covered strawberries and get way over a pounds worth since they have to get rid of it! Plus they were about to close so it’s perfect!

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar | Houston, Texas

I met Pradz at Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar. This was THE best piece of bacon I’ve ever had. The beer flight is actually one of the best flights ever put together as well. I would definitely come back here to try other things as we only shared Brussels sprouts since we were still stuffed from our late lunches.

Driving all over today has been exhausting but it’s been great memories all around. Few more days until I get to spend time with an amazing person and eat delicious foods.

2020 Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

1 Year on Reddit | Cake Day

I’ll always receive a cake on Valentine’s Day! It’s been a year since I’ve been on Reddit. Technically it’s been longer but I had to build a new profile when a crazy person found out who I am and stalked me on it. So happy cake day to me!

Work went by so quickly and so quietly. I was so happy I got a lot of work done especially since I’ll be out of the office for a few days next week!

I left work an hour early since I’ve been working a lot of hours and picked up wine and goodies as well as my orthodontics before heading over to Mallory’s.

2020 Valentine's with JJ & Jacob

It’s been somewhat of a tradition where I go over and hang out with her on this day since we reunited after college so I’ll take it as long as I can. I bought JJ a present, surprise Paw Patrol box and he got Chase. Jacob was all smiles today as well.

2020 Valentine's with Mallory & Beth

This year Beth joined in on the festivities. We had wine, chocolate covered strawberries, Wingstop, and heart cookies.

After a while John came home and we (John, Beth and I) headed to the Pokemon gym to fight some big shot. I rarely play unless on vacation but they needed the extra help. We met up with a guy named Brandon and we won. After a while hanging out, Beth and I headed home.

2020 Valentine's with Rizzo

Ending the night with this little poopster is always my favourite. Will always cuddle with you and love you no matter how long you leave him.

Hope you all had a great Valentine’s day!

Grand Lux | Houston, Texas

Grand Lux | Houston, Texas | Happy Hour with Delisha

I met up with Delisha after work at Grand Lux for happy hour. She was nice enough to wait two hours for me to get off work since she usually gets off earlier. It’s been awhile since we caught up. We spent over two hours catching up about life and work. There’s a lot going on with her and I’m excited to see the outcomes.

The food at Grand Lux wasn’t bad at all! I don’t mind driving back out there to try other things. My favourite is probably the potatoes mashed and wrapped with Chinese wonton wrappers. It’s kind of like potato skins … But way better!

Crumbl Cookies | Katy, Texas

Crumbl Cookies | Katy, Texas | Oreo, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Sugar Cookie with Almond Icing

Work was so crazy today that I had to cancel my lunch plans. Lunch plans that I rarely get to make. So when I get a text that Mallory picked up some cookies from the new bakery, Crumbl Cookies, my heart was happy.

She got Oreo, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Sugar Cookie with Almond Icing. I’m not sure what they are called but that’s how I’d describe it.

My favourite was the Oreo as there were little pieces inside. The chocolate chip was the worst in my opinion, a big let down. As for the peanut butter, if they put in chunks of Reese’s like they did in the Oreo, I think it would have been better. The almond icing on the sugar cookie was very overpowering but it wasn’t so bad.

Tiff Treats is still our number one favourite place but if we had to pick gourmet then I guess they could do.

Mellie Dee & Jacob

Jacob fared well in my hands. I gave him back before he started bawling again. JJ has liked me more ever since I read him bedtime stories. Or maybe he’s growing up and realized I’m amazing.

Conversations that Spark Wonder

February 8, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Yummy Seafood & Oysters | Katy, Texas | Beth & Scott

I got to introduce Beth and Scott to one of my favourite seafood boil place, Yummy Seafood & Oysters! They ended up loving the flavours and we had nice conversations about everything and anything, like other religions in the world not many people know about.

Scott and I went to high school together but we were in different circles. I remember his face but that’s about it. It’s such a small world that Mallory and Beth would meet and bring everyone together. Mum was so happy the amount I took back home and couldn’t wait to eat her share.

The General Public | Hopdoddy | Houston, Texas | Milos

I worked out while watching telly, picked up the pups from the vet dropoff and got ready to meet Milos at The General Public for a few drinks. After a bit of conversation I started getting hungry so we stopped by Hopdoddys for the burgers and fries. I learned a lot talking to him about people, life, and living. My own personal therapist as I joked.

The weekend is almost over. I’m not ready!
