Stuffing Our Faces

by Leave a Comment

85°C Bakery Cafe | Sugar Land, Texas

I was running around like a headless chicken finding a place that notarizes I-9 forms for work. After a few attempts and getting back so many nos, I headed over to Scruffy’s where we hung out for a bit before heading to lunch. We stopped by 85 Degree Bakery since the restaurant wasn’t opened yet and grabbed a handfuls of goodies, mostly for my parents … if Ashy doesn’t eat it all.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar | Sugar Land, Texas

Once Kura Revolving Sushi opened we started to feast. Fifteen plates later, we got our little gift (sushi washi tape) and Scruffy scarfed another one before we called it quits.

2018 | 123/365 | Venice Nails & Spa | Sugar Land, Texas | Pedicure

After eating, I dropped Scruffy off at his house and stopped by the new job’s company to sign the I-9 form in front of them since I couldn’t find a place to notarize. After that I went and got my nails done at Venice Nail & Spa since Jamie and Ashy got me a gift card at Christmas time.

The Rouxpour | Sugar Land, Texas

I went back to Scruffy’s, hung out a bit and after a few hours of trying to decide where to go for dinner. Scruffy wanted to treat me to celebrate finding a job and we ended up at The Rouxpour for a drink and some delicious oysters. The one with spinach, crab, and hollandaise oyster was our clear winner as well as the original with nothing on it. As Scruffy describes it, super buttery and easy to go down.

The Sugar Refinery | Sugar Land, Texas

Few doors down was the The Sugar Refinery where we grabbed some Saloon Door Tasty AF, calamari, and an old fashioned.

HEB Seafood Stuffed Salmon and Frozen Brussels Sprouts

Since a lot of places were closing, we went to HEB and picked up things for our main entree meal. I went for the seafood stuffed salmon and frozen Brussels sprouts while Scruffy opted to fry fries, corn dogs, and whatever else he could get his hands on since Mum gifted him a fryer.

I am now tired and ready to just lay down and relax.

Smoothies, Crawfish, and Pups

Vega Protein, Fruit and Granola Smoothie

Ashy dropped me back off at home and I made myself a delicious Vega One Smoothie bowl adding in strawberries, granola, and dark chocolate nibs. It was so delicious and satisfying.

LA Crawfish | Katy, Texas | Crawfish and Shrimp

As the house was being worked on, I went to my last interview of the week and stopped by LA Crawfish for some goodness. I thought I deserved a treat for all these interviews lately. It was so yummy. Better now that it’s in season but still overcooked in my opinion.

99 Ranch Bakery Bun

I went and bought my family and Ashy loaves of coconut bread at 99 Ranch bakery and got myself a little something. I cut off a little bit to taste and it wasn’t bad. I like it better than the coconut since it’s not as sweet.

2018 | 115/365 | Rocky and Mellie Dee

Ashy asked a few times if he could keep Rizzo tonight and I agreed so Rocky feels like he’s gotta be my pup or something and has been chilling with me non-stop following me everywhere. My little baby. He misses his nephew!

Harry Potter Marathon Continues

2018 | 070/365 | Crown Seafood, Houston, Texas | Dim Sum

[2018] 070/365: Dim Sum with Ex-Co’s

Sissy and BIL left and Scruffy and I headed over to Crown Seafood for dim sum with my old co-workers and their boyfriends, Juhi and Vijay, Erin and John.

85 Degree Celsius Bakery | Sugar Land, Texas | Vanilla Cake, Egg Tart, Cheese Tart, Milk Tea

Afterward, Scruffy dropped me off to pick up some goodies from 85 Degrees Celsius Bakery.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Then we proceeded to finish Harry Potter #3, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Then, Harry Potter #4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

He then went off to play some video games while I organized my photos and watched Will & Grace.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

After a few hours, he asked if I wanted to watch Game of Thrones or more HP. I was surprised when he was okay with Harry Potter #5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He’s a trooper.

I wonder if we’ll be getting to anymore tonight or he’ll call it quits until another day.

I’m enjoying this because we rarely watch movies together!

China Bear | Stafford, Texas | Crawfish

I started out the day with some crawfish with Scruffy at China Bear. It wasn’t the best so it was disappointing. Overcooked but I guess it’s what you’d expect from a buffet. I did fill up with some veggies, shrimps, and lo mein.

99 Ranch Market | Sugar Land, Texas | Coconut Bread

Afterward, we headed over to 99 Ranch Market to get his GMama some green onion crackers. We stopped by the bakery in there for some coconut bread to take back to my family. Look at all that bread!! My goodness!

2018 | 057/365 | Luna Happy-Derp Face

[2018] 057/365: Happy Derpy Luna

Luna kept wanting us to throw the ball for her. This girl never stops with the ball. This is her face when I said “NO MORE!”

Luna | Tongue Out Waiting for the Ball

Later we went out where I helped his dad broom some of the leaves/dirt. Here’s Luna with her tongue out, waiting for me to throw the ball. Sigh … at least Daisy lives on.

Tahdig with Vegetables and Ground Meat

Ashy made us some delicious tahdig with some veggies and ground beef mixed in. We slathered on some Harissa Hot Sauce for some flavour since his GMama can’t have sodium.

Now I’m back at my own house, while Rocky and Rizzo sleep in my bed.

Home Alone With The Pups

by Leave a Comment

2018 | 051/365 | Chilling on the Sofa with Rizzo and Luna

[2018] 051/365: Sofa Chilling With The Pups

I agreed to dog sit for Scruffy today since no one was going to be home and it would be the first day that Luna would have without Scruffy and Daisy.

Daisy passed away last Friday and it’s been hard for everyone, especially Ashy. As annoying as Daisy was with her barks and the way she was insistent with the ball, I would never wish her death. May she always be running after balls up in doggie heaven.

Rudy's Country Store and BBQ | Richmond, Texas | Moist Brisket and Creamed Corn

Later that night, Scruffy, Ashy, Komran, and I went to Rudy’s for some delicious BBQ. Komran doesn’t get much of it in California so he was happy we went there for dinner. I was super happy to finally get my creamed corn.

85°C Bakery | Sugar Land, Texas | Breads and Pastries

Afterward, they wanted dessert so we went to 85° Bakery for some pastries and breads that we all shared together.

I am now regretting stuffing my face, sitting at Andrew’s, watching Chinese while they bro out.

Hopefully this gives me a great night sleep!
