Finn’s Hall | Houston, Texas

Work is going continental breakfast on January 2nd so this will be my last Breakfast Klub from work. We’ll have one more free breakfast meal come Monday and that will be it. I’m lucky to have been fed so much working at this job.

I went to lunch with Vicky and Joel at Finn’s Hall.

2018 | 362/365 | Low Tide at Finn's Hall

[2018] 362/365: Finn’s Hall – Low Tide

I chose Low Tide with Joel while Vicky went Vietnamese. I’m not too certain how I feel about the place since I only tried one stall but I will say I am not a great fan.

The fish was way too big and wasn’t completely fried well. The batter was a bit raw on one side so it was a bummer having to pull it off. The gumbo was salty but was the best thing I ordered. The Crawfish etoufee balls don’t have much to comment on.

I am starting to get sick and I really hope it’s because of allergies I don’t know I have. Fingers crossed I get well soon because I don’t have time to be sick.

Bouldering

My cousin, Patricia, came over from England! She is originally from Canada and have been working over there for a while. Brudda, Tim, Patricia, and I met with Sissy and went to a late lunch to Liberty Kitchen. The Lobster Bolognese is still a hit with everyone.

Patricia loves to Boulder so we found a place and picked up Brett and went. I was surprised how much I could do but also shows how much work I need to do to get that strength. Anyone down to go with me?

Out usual Christmas Eve hot pot was a hit. It’s been hours and we are still sitting around and talking and laughing.

It’s been a full day of food and workouts. I am not ready to see how sore I’ll be tomorrow though.

Indianola | Houston, Texas

Today at work, I spilled the beans. I spilled them once everything is finalized though! I went out to lunch with Salim, Fahad, Vicky, and Vicky’s friend. We we’re going to go to Flynn Hall but it was packed so to the Conservatory it was. It was a windy walk but it was nice to get away.

After work Sissy, BIL, and I went to Indianola to celebrate some exciting stuff. Apparently they recently opened and are owned by the same people as Coltavarie. I will say that this place is way better than Coltavarie. Everything was so dang delicious. My favourite was definitely their lamb. I would go back just for that!

One more day of work until it’s Christmas break!! Or in my world, a long weekend. Haha

Heights Houston with Erin

Hickory Hollow | Houston, Texas | Chicken Fried Steak with Erin

I met Erin at her place after work where we caught up for a few hours before heading to Hickory Hollow. John was working so she ended up bringing him food back. The chicken fried steak are the size of our faces and then some. I wouldn’t say this is the best I’ve ever had. Probably The Black Bear Diner beats them with their thick juicy steak where the breading doesn’t fall off.

As we were walking back to her apartment and me to my car we got stopped. The train literally started right as we were about to cross. We couldn’t believe our luck. Fortunately it was only less than ten minutes long and didn’t stop like it usually does.

The view from their rooftop parking. It is so gorgeous but with the tracks being so close I wouldn’t want to live here. Loudness and always getting stuck. No bueno. But the view …

I’m hoping to move out in the next year but we’ll see how things go.

Pit Room BBQ | Houston, Texas

Emmy had her last nap at our house. She loves Winnie the Pooh and calls her “baby”. We had to take her up and we headed to Sissy’s and BIL’s.

[2018] 314/365: Pit Room BBQ

Mitch was visiting and to have Emmy spend a little time with Sissy and BIL before she left we decided to do a takeout order from Pit Room BBQ and meet Brudda and SIL there since they stayed at a hotel after the wedding last night.

The brisket was rhe best but Lockhart from Dallas is still one of the best BBQ places I’ve had. This place does not compare.

We bid them goodbye and we’ve all been a bit lazy since then. I am looking forward to work … kind of.
