2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | San Francisco & Napa, California

October 24, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Dallas with Ethan, Doggie Puzzle, Vietnamese

Started off the week by finishing up my dog puzzle from weeks ago! Ethan helped by handing me pieces as I found their rightful spots.

Wednesday after work, we packed the car and drove off to Dallas. Ethan is SO good on long car rides. He didn’t sleep long but he also didn’t make a fuss. Sadly he did throw up milk which messed up my car but that’s baby life, right?

We ate pho for dinner and then Sammi wanted to stay up as late as possible so she chilled in my room while we talked about boys and life.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny's Bachelorette | Ethan, Sammi, Mellie Dee, Chick-fil-A, Dallas to San Francisco, Target

The next day, Thursday, Ethan and I had some quality time together before Sammi’s friend drove us to Chickfila and took us to the airport to start off Jenny’s Bachelorette Party. I thought it was cool they had a phone/tablet holder built into the seats now. After a couple of movies, we arrived. We were stuck on the plane for a LONG LONG time and we ended up in the departure area rather than the arrivals making Brudda have to drive all over the airport to find us.

We finally made it to the hotel, chilled for a bit before heading out to get some necessities from Target.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny's Bachelorette | Fang | San Francisco, California

We were all getting hungry and I was craving soup dumplings so I picked Fang for a light snack. From the pictures you can tell we don’t know what that means. Sadly, they don’t do soup dumplings anymore, but their food wasn’t bad! Their pork baos and eggplant vegetarian dumplings were the favourites for the masses.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny's Bachelorette | Mister Jiu's | San Francisco, California | Mellie Dee, Jenny, Rosanna, Tammy

We stopped by 7 Eleven for some breakfast foods we needed for the next day since we wouldn’t have time and then headed back to the hotel, got ready, relaxed, before the bridesmaids went with the bride to Mister Jiu’s for dinner. We took some picture3s on the street since we had some time to spare.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny's Bachelorette | Mister Jiu's | San Francisco, California | Food

The food was nothing to write about. It has one Michelin star but so far, none of the places I’ve been to that have Michelin star has been worth it. The food isn’t horrible, but it wasn’t amazing. The drinks on the other hand were bomb. Fan favourite was definitely the chow fun and oysters.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Castello di Amorosa | Calistoga, California | Mellie Dee & Brudda

On Friday, we all woke up early and Brudda drove us all to Castello di Amorosa. It was a pretty fun drive there. We even stopped by Starbucks where I found it funny that Brudda wanted a cake pop.

The wine from Castello di Amorosa was okay. Nothing popped out to being fantastic so the thought of shipping some home as gifts was dropped. I think people mostly come here to take pictures of the castle. We paid for one hour of wine tasting and one hour of picture taking around the castle. If you ever come here, even if you don’t drink, you have to pay the same amount but don’t ever do the grape juice tasting. If you don’t drink, just don’t come to this place. It costs the same as a wine tasting but they don’t even serve you the amount that would be worth it. They only got 3 tiny pours of the same exact grape juice which we had to ask for every time. They sell a bottle of grape juice for $14 so definitely not worth it; the flavour is great though.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | V. Sattui Winery | St. Helena, California | Mellie Dee & Rosanna

After taking enough pictures, we headed off to V. Sattui Winery for a picnic lunch. You walk in and order from the deli counter and you can buy a bottle of wine if you so choose but no tastings here so you’re not obligated to pay even if you’re not a drinker. We got a little of almost everything and everything tasted amazing. Lot of choices for every type of diet.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Son & Garden | San Francisco, California | Food

We got back to the hotel, took naps, then the bridesmaids and bride met up with MLam and Rachel at Son & Garden. The bone marrow and duck confit was the favoruite for me. The lobster bisque was good too. You can actually taste the lobster in the soup unlike other places.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Son & Garden | San Francisco, California | Mellie Dee, Tammy, Jenny, Rosanna, Rachel, MLam

We then took pictures at their flower wall before heading out. I was feeling myself hence some selfies because I couldn’t choose. Don’t judge.

We walked for forever to a bar where you pay $10 for Jenny to spin the wheel for a drink. After she got her drink Rosanna and I went back to the hotel to get started on getting ready for the night. Tammy and Jenny came after and we just talked about how unsafe we all felt while walking to the bar: needles on the ground, guy pissing, pee smells, and hobos just all about screaming their heads off. Yikes.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Surisan | San Francisco, California | Mellie Dee, Tammy, Jenny, Rosanna, MLam, Vi, Sammi, Tram, MyTien

Saturday, we wore the tshirts I made with wine puns to brunch at Surisan. If you’re ever in town, come here. You won’t regret it! I suggest the benedicts, fried wings, and their Iced Strawbertty Matcha Latte.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Umbrella Alley | San Francisco, California

We then walked to Umbrella Alley to take pictures. It was super cute.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Jenny & Tammy | Boba Guys | Decorating

We headed back to the hotel to decorate for later tonight and order Boba Guys as well.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | AsiaSF | San Francisco, California

Then it was off to Asia SF. The food was better than I expected but not somewhere I’d come back to for the food, especially for the cost.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | AsiaSF | San Francisco, California | Mellie Dee & Jenny

Their show as fun though. And made me feel like, dang they are so confident I’m starting to feel it too. Afterwards we went downstairs to their night club and danced for a bit.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | Lingerie Party | Mellie Dee & Jenny

Then it was to the hotel for the lingerie party which turned into crazy drinking by all of Le’s cousins, Jenny, Tammy, and Sammi.

Let’s just say, some threw up, some passed out, and we got two calls of multiple, multiple complaints about the noise.

2021 | Week 84 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bachelorette | San Francisco to Dallas | Jenny & Mellie Dee | Goldilocks Filipino

Brudda drove me, Jenny, and Rosanna to the airport at 4am after we only slept for a couple of hours. Jenny got me some siu mai from Goldilocks Flipino at the airport since I didn’t get my soup dumplings. Not the same but still delicious. I watched so many episodes of Maid while Jenny slept through the flight.

The Le came to pick us up and I packed the car and drove back to Houston with Mum and Dad. I am pooped to say the least. And this week is suppose to be a little crazy in the beginning of the week. Eeek, save me.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms, Jacob’s Birthday & Pumpkin Carving

October 17, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Ethan & Rizzo

So much Ethan time this week. He spent a lot of time with me while I was working. Majority of the time he’s good but he also needs so much attention. He understands so much Chinese now it’s crazy. Sad he’ll probably lose if when he goes back home.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Manicure & Pedicure, La Baguette | Katy, Texas

I was off Friday and got to go out and have some alone time. Manicure and pedicure, ready for bachelorette party! Then brunch at La Baguette. Took home some leftovers for June since I know she loves it.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Ethan, Mellie Dee, JJ

Later that day, Ethan and I met up with Mallory, JJ, Jacob, Beth and Connor at Dewberry Farms. Ethan sat and ate chicken nuggets while we did the gemstone mining. He got a giant purple rock which he kept trying to eat. Haha I think he knows now it’s not food.

We looked at some live animals which he called all of them dogs in Chinese. JJ got to pet and feed the goats. And then we went and picked some flowers.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Ethan, Mellie Dee, Beth, Connor

A train ride, smelling the Christmas trees that were growing and then pumpkin patch photos thanks to Beth. Mallory and her kids left and Beth and I decided to walk around and got pink lemonade. I also got corn in a cup while she ate her sandwich and before we left, we went into the gift shop and bought matching tshirts.

Oh what a day. I was SO pooped.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Ethan, Cemetery, Urban American Kitchen | Houston, Texas

Saturday morning, we met Cindy and Kenny at the cemetery. I believe it was Ethan’s first time. He had fun walking in the back while we waited for the incense to burn all the way down.

Then it was lunch at Urban American Kitchen. So glad they were okay not driving all the way to Bellaire for Asian food since I was on a time crunch. It was nice to eat out with them again after so so so long.

Ethan didnt get to nap much since he decided screaming on top of his lungs was much better.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Jacob's Birthday Party | Ethan, Mellie Dee, Mallory, Beth, Connor

I got him dressed and ready for Jacob’s birthday party. Mallory hired a person that does songs and storytime. Ethan was much more interested in eating popcorn. She also had an activity to make pumpkins and after playing some games, everyone got to pick a mini toy out of the treasure chest. The party favour was getting to choose a book from all the books the lady wrote. She personalized and signed them too which was pretty awesome.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Nam Thai | Kemah, Texas | Frankenstein and Artemis

After the party, I headed off to Frankenstein’s. We went to Randall’s for some pumpkins and ingredients for brownies, picked up food from Nam Thai, and Target for some pumpkin carving tools.

We enjoyed our Thai food while deciding on what design to do. We saw Artemis sniffing the pumpkins which was super cute. It’s her time of month to shine!

While I was still looking at what design to make, he made brownies from scratch! I offered to help but he did amazing all by himself. It’s perfect that I only like the edge pieces and he likes the middle.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Pumpkin Carving & SNL | Frankenstein, Artemis & Mellie Dee

The weather was so nice out, we decided to carve pumpkins sitting on the balcony, with the door open and tv swiveled so that we could watch episodes of SNL at the same time.

Artemis’ first cold night. She explored a lot while we did our carving and at times stared at us. She’s so cute! Can you guess who did which pumpkin?

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Rustika Cafe Bakery | League, City | Frankenstein & Artemis | Drone

Today, we went to breakfast at Rustika Cafe Bakery. Their food is great but their Vietnamese coffee could have been better. It just tasted like an iced coffee. Bummer.

We went back where I relaxed on the balcony a bit, mostly watching Artemis explore some more. Then Frankenstein showed me the drone he built before we had met. This guy has so much passion in learning a little (or a lot) about everything. I am always surprised by the knowledge he has in his head.

The weekend is already over. Thankfully it’s a short werk. Hello, bachelorette.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bridal Shower

September 26, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Beagle Puzzle, Nails, Sushi Block Legos

Work week was pretty easy since our company got some crazy news. I was able to do my nails, finish the Beagle puzzle and built the sushi block Lego that Frankenstein and I won from Kura.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Poor Richard's Cafe | Frankenstein | Lomonte's Italian Restaurant | Houston, Texas

Frankenstein was off Thursday so we were able to have a romantic date night at Lomonte’s. The weather was nice out so we sat on the deck listening to the live music performance and talked about so many different topics. We both got a chicken dish that came with a side of pasta. The food was pretty good and the ambience of the area reminded us of Austin.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Poor Richard's Cafe | Road trip To Dallas | Rosanna's Birthday, Ethan, Rizzo, Mellie Dee, June & Emmy | Bols Rice and Ramen

Friday after work, we drove to Dallas. Upon arriving, we celebrated Rosanna’s birthday, ate dinner from Bols Rice and Ramen and played with Emmy. I was pooped after.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Poor Richard's Cafe | Plano, Texas | Emmy & Mellie Dee Storytime

Saturday morning I took the parents, June and the kids to Poor Richard’s Cafe for breakfast. This is our first time and we all ended up liking it. The kids even ate a lot which was surprising … for Emmy.

I drove them all around to run some errands for Jenny’s Bridal Shower and then went back to the house where I read Emmy some stories before we all took a nap.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Jenny's Bridal Shower

We went and picked up the cake and headed to the clubhouse to set up for Jenny’s Bridal Shower. We took pictures, ate, and played some games. Oh and shots were had. Good times all around. And it was like a mini reunion. Next up, bachelorette!

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | BBQ Chicken and Happy Lemon

We got home and showered before SIL and I went to pick up dinner of BBQ Chicken and Happy Lemon. Korean fried chicken always hits the spot!

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Bucees Keto Eggs, Stardew, Salmon Sushi Rice

We left for home super early. I am running on 2 hours of sleep today! Had breakfast of keto sausage egg and cheese from Bucees on the way. Then it was grocery shopping. After everything settled down, I got online and played some Stardew Valley with Sissy and BIL then made dinner of salmon sushi rice.

Back to work tomorrow but luckily it’s my Friday off. Last free weekend before Ethan comes back down again. What should I do? Sleep sounds nice.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine

September 5, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Rizzo, June Birthday, Ethan

Monday, we celebrated June’s birthday again. Ethan loved singing happy birthday. I love how he tries to blow the candles out.

Rizzo was cute so … you’re welcome.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Ember & Greens | Houston, Texas | June

Tuesday, as part of June’s birthday present every year, I took her to a new restaurant, Ember & Greens. Perfect place for vegetarians! They had meat dishes too but we decided ordering a lot of different things to share was the best way to go. Our favourite was the vegetarian Stroganoff. They make it with different types of mushrooms and it paired well with the vegetarian flatbread! The sweet potato fries were also on point. I would definitely want to come back here again.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Rizzo Skateboard

June and I were so stuffed after that we walked around Five Below and bought random things. June got Ethan and skateboard. Rizzo had a not so fun time standing on it. At least he listened and waited for me to get a pic in before he jumped off.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Mallory | Mia's Table | Katy, Texas

Wednesday, I met up with Mallory at Mai’s Table. This place is actually pretty dang good. Their friend chicken is up there with Jollibee. And their sides are perfect. They even have a soft serve machine that you go and do yourself. I joked that we could just sit there and grab their ice cream and they probably won’t even know since you order at the counter.

P.S. I found it funny that our drinks matched Mallory’s top!

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Ethan, Two Cats in Jeans Puzzle, Rizzo, Mellie Dee

Ethan’s been spending a lot of time with me. He even loves the cat game I actually downloaded for Artemis.

I’ve also been having a lot of cuddles with Rizzo too.

I finally finished the Two Kittens in Jeans. Sadly, another one with a missing piece. Every time the kids come a piece is missing. Three puzzles in counting. Sigh.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Ethan, Mellie Dee Snapchat Filters

Ethan spent Friday morning with me before I left for the day. He laid on my chest while we played with Snapchat filters. His favourite was the broccoli. Mine is the first picture of the collage. haha I wonder what his response will be when he grows up and sees these pictures.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Mallory & Beth Pedicures | Jamaeca | Thaicoon | Katy, Texas

Finally, it was time for me to leave the house to meet Mallory & Beth for our pedicures. We all order Vietnamese Coffee because it’s that good.

Afterward, I spent a couple hours at Mallory’s before meeting up with Jameaca at Thaicoon. It was our first meet up and I think it went really well. We had good foods and conversations that lasted for two hours.

Afterward, Joanna came over and I helped her make things for Jasmine’s classroom since Joanna signed up to be a room mum. It was a fun project making a giant Disney castle, Mickey and Minnie heads with their names written on it.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Ethan & Mellie Dee | Guitar

Saturday morning, I played guitar to Ethan. He loved it so much and when I stopped playing and singing he’d grunt with displeasure. Maybe he’ll be the musical kid.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Frankenstein | King's Bierhaus | League City, Texas

I headed over to Frankenstein’s and we grabbed lunch at King’s Bierhaus. After having it last week, I was excited to have it again! I was happy to hear that he enjoyed it as well though it didn’t sit too well with my stomach with all the carbs and sugar from the beer.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Frankenstein & Artemis | HEB Dinner, Vacation Friends Movie

We went to Pet Supplies Plus for some goodies then HEB to pick up dinner so that we could have a relaxing night doing nothing.

We literally went back to the house and took naps. Then it was a lot of puzzling for me while he worked on his 3D stuff. I put on Vacation Friends and although it isn’t his type of movie, he laughed at a lot of parts.

We ate our HEB dinners and watched Artemis sleep. We even put on The Chef Show which is pretty interesting before we drifted off to sleep.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Frankenstein | Eggcellence Cafe & Bakery | League City, Texas | Bay Area Farmers Market | Starbucks

I woke up and puzzled a bit more before Frankenstein woke up. We grabbed breakfast at Eggcellence Cafe. Their service was very slow but I was very surprised about their food. Chicken and Waffles, and Salmon Benedicts. All perfect.

We went to Target after since the Bay Areas Farmers Market wasn’t opened yet. They had a lot of stalls at this market. I was sad to see that they didn’t have too many vegetable stalls but I was able to snag some good hot sauce and cracklins.

Frankenstein wasn’t feeling well so after we got back I stayed for a little bit before heading home myself with a pumpkin spice latte in hand.

2021 | Week 77 of Quarantine | Ethan, Mellie Dee, Guitar, Steak

Upon getting home Ethan was thrown at me to watch. He didn’t finish his nap and instead cried until I picked up the guitar and sang to him. Then when I tried to nap, he kept sitting on my face and poking me. It’s a good thing he’s cute!

Since I plan to donate blood tomorrow, I made my steak. Best steak I’ve ever made in the air fryer. Getting better each time!!

It’s been a busy week but I’m thankful to be able to have it surrounded by such amazing people. Hopefully tomorrow will be a very laid back day … even with Ethan around.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Astros Game & Houston Restaurant Week

August 15, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Return to Work Questions

We had a poll at work to see how many people were down to go back into the office come October 4th and what we prefer to do going forward. Can you guess my answers? I find the results hilarious and wished that we really did get a choice. Sigh, I’m going to miss going to school.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Astros v Rockies | Frankenstein & Mellie Dee

Tuesday, I got off a little early to head over to Sissy’s. Then I went back to work until Frankenstein came and picked me up. He had gotten us tickets to Astros v Rockies! We got Shake Shake and beers for dinner. They were bomb ass seats. 7th row from the outfield. It was SUPER bright and we discussed where we’d sit next time.

We realized that I squint a lot and if I just open up my eyes more I can see. I guess years of wearing contacts got me to that point so readjusting has been tough. But man, is it clearer. haha I liked that he didn’t mind walking around and seeing things during the game which helped stretch my legs.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Kato, Bruno | Flip 'n Patties | Houston, Texas

We stayed for the entire game and then he dropped me back off at Sissy’s. I couldn’t find Bruno anywhere so I settled for Kato. He’s not much of a cuddler but he did love cuddling next to my monkey.

The next day, BIL was off so we talked a lot whenever I didn’t have to be on a phone call and when he wasn’t playing video games. I ordered Flip ‘n Patties for lunch. I love Filipino roasted pig. YUM. Bruno was below my feet the entire time so he got a lot of foot pets.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Houston Restaurant Week | Harold's Restaurant, Bar, & Terrace | Houston, Texas | Sissy & BIL

Later that night, I went with Sissy & BIL to Harold’s Restaurant, Bar & Terrace for Houston Restaurant Week for $35/person.

We ordered beers and cocktails. I forget the name but they were all good. I got a side of Brussel sprouts | $6. Not the best, but passable.

First Course:

  • Oyster Nachos [gulf fried oysters, house tortilla chips & aioli]
  • The Southern Peach [local grilled peaches, spring mix, in-house candied pecans, seasonal berries, citrus mint vinaigrette]
  • Chicken Fried Cauliflower [Atkinson Farms cauliflower, cheese fondue sauce]

Clear winner was the cauliflower. They give you SO much compared to the other two appetizers. Well worth it.

Second Course:

  • KG’s Double Brined Fried Chicken [buttermilk fried chicken with mac ‘n cheese made from Texas cheddar, Atkinson Farms braised greens (half chicken – breast, thigh, leg]
  • Eggplant Parmesan [Atkinson Farms eggplant, house marinara, provolone & mozzarella cheese, pasta]

BIL and I both got the fried chicken. Nothing to write home about. The fried chicken was SUPER crispy but not enough flavour. Would do well with more spices. BIL wasn’t a fan of the greens but the mac was pretty good.

Third Course:

  • Key Lime Pie [key lime filling, zest of key lime, graham cracker crust]
  • Chocolate Layer Cake [three layer moist chocolate cake with smooth chocolate filling & chocolate ganache]

Key lime hit the spot. The chocolate cake was too much … chocolate.

Probably not a restaurant I’ll come back to unless it’s to get some drinks.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Houston Restaurant Week | Federal American Grill | Katy, Texas | Mallory, Beth, Mellie Dee

Thursday night was girls night. I met up with Mallory & Beth at Federal American Grill for yet another Houston Restaurant Week for $35/person.

Mallory & I ordered a bottle of Alexander Valley Vineyards Homestead Red Blend for $28 (usually $40). They also give you biscuits, jam, and butter for free. It was so good, we got seconds. Per usual, my ordering of Brussel sprouts | $8.

First Course:

  • Tuna Poke [Hawaiian style sushi grade tuna, avocado, toasted almonds, soy honey citrust sauce, wontons]
  • Shrimp Cocktail [horseradish & jalapeno cocktail sauce] — actually subbed with regular cocktail sauce
  • Fried Cheeseburger Eggrolls [seasoned akaushi beef eggrolls, sweet and spicy sauce, spicy ranch]

Clear winner was the poke though the eggrolls were VERY spot on. I wouldn’t mind getting a cheeseburger in eggroll form going forward.

Second Course:

  • Braised Short Rib [bacon & mushroom risotto, sautéed spinach, bordelaise sauce]
  • Classic Chicken Cobb Salad [romaine, arugula, red onion, avocado, toasted almonds, hardboiled egg, tomato, bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, champagne vinaigrette]
  • Thai Shrimp & Cheese Grits [blackened citrus shrimp, manchego cheese grits, Thai citrus glaze, wontons]

Everything tasted great. So great that I declared I wouldn’t mind coming back and trying their regular menu. I loved the risotto so much that now I want to make it at home.

Third Course:

  • Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie [served with vanilla ice cream]
  • Ghirardelli Chocolate Brownie & Bourbon Bread Pudding

Mallory & I both got the brownie and I am not disappointed. I actually ate the whole dessert! I wish they gave us just a little more ice cream though. I did get to try the bread pudding but I’m glad I didn’t get it. It was good but bread pudding is just NOT for me.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Bonjour Cafe | Katy, Texas | Mum & June

On Saturday, Mum, June & I got brunch at Bonjour Café. I’ve always wanted to try this place but never found the right time. Sadly when we went the chefs were on vacation so it wasn’t the usual staff. But the food was still bomb! They could have done better poaching the eggs. That’s my ONLY complaint.

Mum & I both got cappuccinos. Nothing special but made well. Mum got Croc’s Benedict, I got the Gluten Free Style Eggs Benedict, and June got the Forest Omelet. Everything was bomb. Definitely coming back.

Afterward, we went grocery shopping and to return things. June & I also did a long, long, Target run.

2021 | Week 74 of Quarantine | Camping Hiking Puzzle, Food, Rizzo

This week has been a lot of good eats. But to make it even better, Seafood Salad, durian, popcorn shaped with a heart, and my favourite – homemade fried rice using Hainanese Rice a la me. YUM!

I also finished a camping/hiking/hot air balloon puzzle. Probably one of my favourite ones ever. It makes me want to go camping/hiking/hot air ballooning now.

Also a pic of Rizzo, because why not.

It’s crazy how this week was FILLED with events but it felt like forever ago. Sigh.
