[2018] 044/365: Simple Kimchi

I’ve been in love with making kimchi soup. Literally throw in some kimchi with some chicken broth, add ramen and protein and you’re done! Here I have deli meat and wontons. So freaking simple. So freaking delicious.

Starbucks and Kindle | Chai Spice Latte and Iced Lemon Pound Cake

I drove early to Juhi’s after picking up my last bits for Scruffy’s Valentine’s present. I grabbed a Venti Chia Spice Latte with Iced Lemon Pound Cake to sip and nibble on while reading my Kindle waiting for her to arrive. I am almost done with this book and I don’t want it to end!!

Chicken Dumplings at Juhi's

Juhi and I had Galentine’s where we just chilled with the Olympics. She made us some chicken dumplings which was surprisingly delicious. I need to tell my people to start doing chicken instead of pork!

Eating Out Alone

2018 | 043/365 | Pho Tau Bay Vietnamese Restaurant | Houston, Texas | Eating Alone

[2018] 043/365: Eating Out Alone

Guys, I did it again! I went out and ate at a restaurant all by myself. The first time I did it was a La Madeline which I actually blogged about!It was two years ago and I still remember that experience.

I was busy running errands all day and decided to grab some food before my appointment at the Subaru Dealership. I chose Pho Tau Bay Vietnamese Restaurant. It was a completely different experience than La Madeline. Here, I didn’t hide behind a book. People were not on their laptops or studying. Here, everyone was eating and talking with their mates.

I was a little weary when I walked in but I persevered and actually enjoyed my meal by myself, without distractions. I saw a guy from Acura eating by his lonesome as well and we exchanged awkward glances. haha

I will say that this isn’t the best pho place, the broth was good but the meat was not up to par nor was the eggrolls. The price was too high for the amount of food and there was a lot of miscommunications.

Subaru Dealership | Kindle and Coffee

I was happy to get through four and a half of my chapters before my car was ready to go. Is it weird that I actually like waiting at the dealership so that I can read? Ever since I got a Kindle, life has been great being able to pull it out whenever I want.  #thanksboyfriend

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: 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!

[2018] 025/365: Kimchi Soup With A Side Of Chinese Soaps

My favourite is getting to watch a show while I eat a meal. I don’t get a lot of those with Scruffy since we sit and eat without distractions like civilized people. Haha

A Pizza Hut Dinner

Scruffy and I ended up eating horribly tonight. We didn’t finish everything though but knowing I ate this makes me feel so horrible inside. Tomorrow is a new day though.

I had lunch with just my parents today. Pho, my choice! I got vermicelli though. Equally delicious.

Ashy's Grilled Kabob Meal

Scruffy’s grandparents were going over to his house for dinner. When I showed up I was excited to see that it was kabobs! Mmmm … yum! I was so excited when Ashy said I could take some home. Lunch for tomorrow! Eeeep!

Luna and Gingerbread Man Toy

I agreed to babysit Luna. She’s been a handful so far since there are a total of five dogs in the house but I handed her this gingerbread toy of Rizzo’s and she fell in love.

Luna & Rizzo In Bed

I had to hide it so that she’d stop squeaking the toy and that she’ll go to bed. She’s gone to sleep now. Sweet girl. They are so cute together.
