Some of those week’s good eats. Delia’s from RVG, hot pot Saturday night, and Sunday: Eggcellence Cafe and Sushihana.
Thursday after work I went over to Mallory’s. Mostly to give her and Beth Delia’s tamales and thier Christmas presents because my freezer was packed. I picked up our order from Elyson Cafe and hung up a bit. Feels like forever since I’ve seen them!
Friday night Frankenstein finally met Sissy and BIL. We had dinner at J Bar M BBQ and then went and watched the Houston Ballet: The Nutcracker.
I’ve always wanted to go to the ballet and am so thankful he agreed. We even got free Nutcracker masks. So fancy. The set and the costumes were so breathtakingly beautiful. Sigh. Makes me wish I was in theater.
BIL feel asleep for 40%+ of the performance and although Frankenstein struggled, he stayed awake for all of it. So proud. Sissy and I were on cloud nine the whole time.
When we got back we opened a toy he got for Artemis where treats fall out when you hit it, till it, etc. She is so gentle. She hasn’t gotten it down yet but I know she will soon.
The next day, after some Artemis cuddles, Frankenstein suggested us to go to a farmers market. I chose a different one than last time, Nassau Bay’s. A couple of teas, a loaf of baked yum and a jar of pickled okra later, we walked into Erma’s. It reminded me of Trader Joe’s. I bought a few more things and we headed off to grab pho from Pho Hoang.
Ethan time continued. Some puzzles and learning words, done silly laying down with Rizzo and some falling asleep in my arms while we watched Tik Tok videos.
He’s even learned how to do harder puzzles, given I find them and tell him where it goes. Maybe he can be my puzzle buddy when he grows up.
