Roll Me Into Bed For A Food Coma

by Leave a Comment

Jarro Cafe | Houston, Texas | Pastor Tacos

Scruffy came over with Luna this morning and after a few ball throws and work on the laptop, we headed to Jarro Cafe for the beloved tacos we’ve missed so much.

Freedom & Company | Houston, Texas

Afterwards, we headed over to Freedom & Company for a haircut. Go check her out! She’s pretty great and listens to your opinons.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas

Since Himalaya Restaruant was close by, we had to try it out – mainly because everyone says it’s the best!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Lamb Biryani

Lamb Biryani [tender pieces of lamb cooked in a magical blend of dry whole spices and then layered with fragrant Basmati rice. This is the Indo-Pakistani version of the Spanish Paella] | $12.92

This wasn’t up my alley. Scruffy liked it but I wasn’t a big fan.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Side Dishes

This side dish with a dipping sauce that Scruffy says is chutney was free. We didn’t really touch it.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Garlic Nan

Garlic Nan | $2.99

This is bomb. I wish it was as fluffy as the tandoori nan but it was still amazing mostly because of the garlic. YUM!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Pre-Set Lunch Special

Pre-Set Lunch Special Combo [delicious platter that changes daily: incles all of the following – tender boneless chicken curry, boneless lamb curry, grilled or dry appetizer, dal or vegetable (their choice), steamed basmati rice, and a fresh tandoori nan] | $13.75

This was my favourite. I liked the lamb curry, vegetable curry, rice and the nan. Other than that, I was meh about it.

I think Bombay Grill is still probably my favourite Indian food.

Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas

After being home for a while, we headed out to Kirby Ice House for Saleh’s early birthday celebration.

2018 | 054/365 | Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas | Frosted Rose and Beer

[2018] 054/365: Out After 9 PM

Scruffy and I are never out late anymore. Not too sure if it’s because we live in the suburbs or if we’re just both lazy and over it but I thought we should commemorate this. This frozen rose drink was bomb. I loved it but not so much the price.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas

They had two food trucks there but we ended up picking The Waffle Bus.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas | Chicken Thunder Fries

Chicken Thunder Fries [buttermilk fried chicken bites on top of seasoned waffle fries with spicy mayo and ancho chile honey butter] | $10

We got our usual and scarfed it down.

It was nice to see and meet other people, hang out and talk with them about things that mean nothing but we soon bid farewell since we still had to drive back and the pups were waiting for us.

Please roll me into bed now. I’m ready to be in a food coma after today’s foods.

So Much Food All The Time

2018 | 050/365 | Cheddar's with Scruffy and Andrew

[2018] 050/365: Honey Butter Croissant Goodness

I used to hate honey, butter, or croissant. Something in my snapped and now I’m a lover of it. Or maybe it’s the fact that once they’re all mixed as one, it’s the BEST thing ever created.

Anyway, Scruffy and I met up with Andrew to Cheddar’s for lunch before heading to HEB for some goodies then home to do absolutely nothing.

Kebabs and Ice Cream with Cake

Ashy and Jamie had people over today for dinner and we enjoyed a DELICIOUS kebab dinner. The guests brought over chocolate chip ice cream and cake. What a duo!

Scruffy and I are now debating on playing a game or watching an episode of Games of Thrones. We’re secretly both trying hard to not finish it all since we know we’d have to wait for Season 8.

I’ve noticed my every day posting of a picture a day has been foods all day erryday. I need to go out and move around more cuz this isn’t a great look on me if you know what I mean. haha

Sushi and Fried Foods

by Leave a Comment

Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca | Sugar Land, Texas | Nigiris and Handroll

Scruffy and I woke up and went strolling at the mall before we went to Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca for a light snack. Just a handful of nigiri with a handroll. YUM! Scruffy rarely says, let’s get sushi because it’s so expensive so I jumped at the opportunity when he brought it up.

2018 | 041/365 | Clancy's Public House | Richmond, Texas | Chicken Fried Steak and Fish and Chips

Chicken Fried Steak [10 oz Angus beef, chicken fried & topped with cream and gravy served with mashed potatoes and green beans] | $16 • Fish and Chips [Guiness-battered cod golden fried & crispy served with fries, tarter sauce and malt vinegar] | $12

[2018] 041/365: Fried Foods and Green Beans

We went home for a bit so that he could throw the ball for Luna and I can have some downtime with my Chinese Soaps before we headed for drinks and early dinner at Clancy’s Public House. We both got fried foods but I felt a bit better getting a side of green beans. hehe

This upcoming week is Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. Eeeep, I’m excited!

Too Much Food

by Leave a Comment

99 Ranch | Katy, Texas | Milk Tea and Portuguese Egg Tart

Scruffy came over today. I made him Kimchi Soup Noodles and we headed to 99 Ranch so that he could pick some things up. I picked up a little snack for myself while we were there. Yum!

2018 | 033/365 | Cravin' Cajun | Katy, Texas | Crawfish and Shrimp with Potatoes and Corn

[2018] 033/365: Best Meal

Always a lover of crawfish and shrimp boils, we headed to Cravin’ Cajun mostly for me to get my fill. This place seems to be going downhill. Maybe it’s because it’s not in season but even the shrimp was overcooked. The flavour is still spot on though.

Texas Mesquite Grill | Katy, Texas | Original Burger with a side of Green Beans and Tasty AF Beer

Since Scruffy didn’t eat much, we went to Texas Mesquite Grill for him to get his burger. We told the server we were sharing but … we didn’t. I ate a few bites here and there but Scruffy polished it off as we both enjoyed one of our favourite beers, Saloon Door Tasty AF. Yum!

We seriously eat too much food lately. We want to go on a cruise but we both feel we need to lose weight beforehand. haha We’re not on the right track.

Delicious Day

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen | Katy, Texas | Chicken Fried Steak

Had some mother-daughter time today at lunch after taking her to her post-op appointment. We went to Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and she enjoyed the Honey Butter Croissants so much she ordered another to go to share with her co-workers.

2018 | 024/365 | OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas | Milk Tea

[2018] 024/365: Milk Tea Couple

Tonight, I cooked Kimchi Soup for Scruffy’s family. I’m still uncertain how they feel about it but there was less than I though leftover so it should be a good sign, eh? After, we stopped by OG Tea for me to grab a Milk Tea to go before heading over to Andrew’s. We’re currently chilling and I’m hoping we get to have some Game of Thrones in later tonight when we get back to the house.
