2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Day 4

April 7, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Present from Liliana

Liliana got in late last night before the wedding ended so I didn’t get to see her. But I met up with her bright and early in her hotel room and was showered with gifts. I’m not sure how I’m going to take the basket but I’m excited to try everything else out!

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Little Shops

We left the hotel and walked around at the shops while waiting for our reservations. I was able to pick up a few souvenirs so that was nice.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Sabrina's Cafe | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Sabrina’s Cafe is so cute and quaint and there was a long line of hungry people. The turn around was very fast though.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Sabrina's Cafe | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | The Tots, Scrapple, & The Slinky

By the time we got our table we were starving. They give you so much food, all delicious, that we couldn’t finish it all. The scrapple was the best thing ever invented. I’m sure it’s horrible for you but since it’s created in Philadelphia we knew we had to try it. I need to find a recipe for it and recreate it!

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Philadelphia's Magic Gardens | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Liliana & Mellie Dee

We waited to go into Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens which is pretty much mosaic designs. A nice gentlemen helped us take a picture after he notice we were struggling on selfie mode.

I was just living my life, taking in the gorgeousness while Lily treated me like an Instagram model. I need a haircut.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Hershey's Chocolate World | Hershey, Pennsylvania | Liliana & Mellie Dee

We continued our road trip to Meadville, stopping at Hershey’s Chocolate World. The air really does smell like chocolate!

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Hershey's Chocolate World | Hershey, Pennsylvania | Create Your Own Candy Bar

We created our own candy bars. It was an easy process and it was cool to see it in action. I’m not too sure if I’d ever eat the candy bar but at least I have the tin can and sleeve I designed to keep forever.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Hershey's Chocolate World | Hershey, Pennsylvania | Create Your Own Candy Bar, Liliana & Mellie Dee

I wish we had more time to do other things there but we had fun nonetheless. We did end up spending a big chunk of time at the gift shop though I wish their packaging wasn’t so normal so that I could get some souvenirs and it would look special and not like I went and got it at the store back home.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | McDonald's Pit Stop

Lily got hungry so our light snack at McDonald’s became somewhat of a meal as we trucked on with our road trip.

It’s been a good few hours and we are still on the road. It has been raining a lot and I’m surprised by the amount of cars that are on the road at this time on a Sunday.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Dinner by Daniel

Daniel has lovingly offered to cook us dinner since everything will be closed by the time we arrived. I’m still stuffed but everything was delicious and he even popped a bottle of wine for us. I’m ready to crash because I am pooped.

State Fare Kitchen & Bar | Houston, Texas

December 29, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

State Fare Kitchen and Bar | Houston, Texas

I woke up, got ready and met Juhi, Vijay, and Erin at State Fare Kitchen & Bar. I loved seeing their little glowing words – “good vibes only please”.

State Fare Kitchen and Bar | Houston, Texas | Mimosa Flight
Mimosa Flight [orange, pineapple, pomegranate, grapefruit] | $14

We shared a Mimosa Flight which some thought was a little too much champagne. Mine was perfect though – grapefruit is always the way to go! I love how Vijay has his thumbs up without knowning. Thanks and Gig ‘Em! haha

State Fare Kitchen and Bar | Houston, Texas | Avocado & Street Corn Toast
Avocado & Street Corn [local whole grain bread, mashed avocado, elote, crema, tajin] | $8 (fried egg | $1)

This was in it’s own category. Was it the best, no. But was it good enough to satisfy my taste buds of elote? Yes. I even got a boomerang shot of the egg yolk breaking. So pretty!

2018 | 363/365 | State Fare Kitchen and Bar | Houston, Texas | H-Town Hot Fried Chicken
H-Town Hot Fried [all natural half chicken, skillet cheddar potatoes & cauliflower] | $24

[2018] 363/365: Best Dang Half Chicken

This was literally the best half chicken I’ve ever had. The chicken breast was so moist (I hate that word) and the spicy crust was perfect crispness! I would definitely come back and order this again although I could do without the cheddar potatoes and cauliflower.

We had some great conversations and catch ups and cannot wait for more! Foodventures is pretty much all we do and when Juhi comes back from her stint in England, we can go back to our wonderful baking sessions. Eeek!

Hot Pot Dinner

Dinner consisted of hot pot since it had been freezing out. It hit the spot and I was happy to get my fish tofu and plethora of veggies.

7 Days to Die and Once Upon a Time

I felt like Emmy got most of us sick so I’ve been downing medicine and staying home as much as possible. When Brudda suggested playing 7 Days to Die, I jumped on it. BIL and Timothy joined in but it took thirty minutes to an hour to set up since we were having technical difficulties everywhere. I don’t know how I feel about it yet but I do not hate it that much. It’ll take time but deep down inside, I believe Diablo is a better game.

I’m Kind of a Big Deal

October 19, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 292/365 | I'm Kind of a Big Deal Award

[2018] 292/365: Big Deal

I received an award this morning. It’s an award that the recipient picks for the next week. It was pretty nice to get recogonition though I know so many others that deserve it.

Krispy Kreme | Katy, Texas

After work I took Rizzo to the vet for his shots and picked up my car from the shop. Scruffy came over with Luna and had dinner with my family.

Scruffy and I then went to Krispy Kreme. It’s a new location that opened this week and there was a lot of people even at night.

The Grizzled Board Game

We brought the donuts over to Sissy and BIL’s house and are now playing The Grizzled board game. Last minute decision since Brudda called and said he’s coming down with Emmy and I needed to pick him up to surprise the parents. I cannot wait to see her even though it’s only going to be a short while. Eeeep cannot wait.

Teahouse with Juhi

September 9, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

The Maples | Katy, Texas | DoorDash

Sissy came over to see the parents and to have brunch. We ordered from The Maples, our first time trying it out and it was pretty decent. The only complaint I had were the potsto fries. I could have done without those. And I gave my toast to Mum. Scruffy said his burger wasn’t bad but will need to say mayo next time … Or buy a thing of mayo for my house. Haha

Waiting for Juhi While Raining

Scruffy and Luna left. Mum, Sissy, and June went shopping. Dad was watching telly while I updated my podcasts. Soon enough I was out the door to meet Juhi for our catch-up. She thought she had told me three thirty so I sat in my car for a good thirty minutes before she showed up.

2018 | 252/365 | The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish

[2018] 252/365: Complete Hilariousness

I didn’t mind though because I finally got Tiffany Haddish’s audiobook, The Last Black Unicorn. I’ve been waiting for this especially since it’s read by her. I am loving it so far and have had a few giggles. She is so real and raw and it’s completely refreshing.

Kim's Teahouse with Juhi

Soon Juhi was knocking on my window scaring me and we walked into Kim’s Teahouse, ordered our drinks and literally talked for four and a half hours. From work to boyfriends to future. It’s been a while since I’ve had a girl’s talk so it was pretty nice. I also realized matcha pudding is pretty good.

Since then I’ve done my laundry and meal prepped. I am pooped and excited to finally go to bed.

Poblano’s Breakfast Is The Worst

August 28, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Poblano's Breakfast

Poblano’s has the worse breakfast I’ve ever had. The potatoes were not cooked, the eggs were bleugh, and don’t get me started on the bacon. They were crisped to the point where it had a burnt taste. I was severely disappointed.

2018 | 240/365 | Korean BBQ

[2018] 240/365: Korean BBQ

Another picture of Korean BBQ. Scruffy is obssesed and he believes it might just be his number one go to meal.

We’ve downsized the amount of food from last time and were surprised that we were all satisfied with lesser leftovers.

I’ve been craving sweets the last couple of days which is out of the norm for me. I’ve been holding back but I just might order something to satisfy my sweet tooth.
