State Fare Kitchen & Bar | Houston, Texas

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.

Finn’s Hall | Houston, Texas

Last Breakfast Klub at Work

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.

Finn's Hall | Houston, Texas

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.

Liberty Kitchen | Houston, Texas

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.

2018 | 358/365 | Bouldering

[2018] 358/365: Bouldering

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?

2018 Christmas Eve Hot Pot

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

Downtown Views and Lunch

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.

2018 | 354/365 | INDIANOLA

[2018] 354/365: Indianola

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.

Waiting for the Train to Pass

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.

2018 | 352/365 | Heights Houston

[2018] 352/365: Heights Houston

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.
