Date Night with Scruffy

July 11, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Peli Deli | Houston, Texas

Work has been AMAZING since I now hang out with nineteen year olds. I’m not even kidding. I went to lunch with the three of them to Peli Deli today.

Peli Deli | Houston, Texas | Curry Chicken Plate and Wings

Natalia and I’s meals of their wings and curry chicken with Mac and cheese and mushrooms. Everything was delicious. I wished a Peli Peli was close by since they have better options but this satisfied me enough.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant | Houston, Texas

After work Scruffy and I met up for dinner at Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant | Houston, Texas | A La Carte Style

It’s basically Korean Barbecue but with different cuts of meat and flavour. We ordered two different types of meat then a lunch menu with three different other types of meat that came with a salad and miso soup. We upgraded to the garlic rice and added zucchini and mushrooms and beef tounge.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant | Houston, Texas | This Grill Is On Fire

Burn, baby, burn. The only complaint was that their fire burned on one side and left the other flameless so things cooked unevenly. Scruffy was a trooper and I didn’t have to cook much this time. Instead, he served me which made me feel like a queen.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant | Houston, Texas | Beef Tounge

My favourite was the beef tounge. My goodness. I can’t even describe just how amazing it was. It’s really rare for me to find beef tounge, not that I’m always in search of it, but when I see it, usually when it’s grill your own, I’m always down.

Lady M’s Green Tea Millie Crepe with Ice Cream | $10

[2018] 192/365: Lady M’s

This has been a very popular dessert as long as I can remember. So popular that Brudda got it shipped from New York for SIL’s 30th birthday celebration in Dallas so I just had to try it when I saw it on the menu. Scruffy’s not that big of a fan with matcha but he actually tried it and ate two bites before he called it quits. I on the other hand, though delicious, did not think it was worth the $10 price tag but glad I finally got to cross that off the list.

Astros vs Athletics | World Series Championship Replica Ring

The Astros vs Athletics tickets I won from work a few weeks ago was finally used tonight. Club seats, which made me feel very fancy. To top it off we received replicas of the World Series Championship rings. It was very heavy and sparkly.

Astros vs Athletics | Free Pluckers

Although the game wasn’t that great, upon exiting we received free Pluckers. Ain’t no complaining here. Now we just have to find a time to go.

It’s been a fabulous day of eating and just spending time with Scruffy outside of our houses where we eat somewhere new and do an activity.

Now it’s time to get ready for bed. Night, y’all!

Taco Tuesday

2018 | 191/365 | La Calle Tacos | Houston, Texas | Taco Tuesday

[2018] 191/365: Taco Tuesday

My wonderful coworkers went to go get tacos from La Calle Tacos and brought me back two mini ones! Barbacoa and pastor. They were a bit on the bland side and not at all what I’d expect quality wise for being downtown. Jarro Cafe is still my clear winner when it comes to authentic tacos. Sadly they are closer to my house (but not close enough) than to my work and therefore I never get them. Sigh. We’ll meet again soon, Jarro.

Carb Overload

July 3, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Corner Bakery | Houston, Texas | Farmer's Breakfast

Since it was Tuesday, no free breakfast, I went and grabbed my own at Corner Bakery. I was genuinely surprised that they didn’t put salt on the eggs which is a great plus for me. Funny story: one of the ladies at the place bought What-a-Burger and her manager made her put it in a Corner Bakery bag because it obviously looks bad to customers to see their own employees eating food from other places. But seriously? Who can eat the same thing every day?!

OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas | Taro Smoothie

I went to Scruffy’s after work to start my July Fourth Festivities which is pretty much relaxing until tomorrow. I grabbed a Taro Smoothie from OG Tea when we went out to grab groceries for tomorrow.

2018 | 184/365 | Pasta Dinner

[2018] 184/365: Pasta Dinner

Saleh came over for dinner and we’re about to play Risk. It’s been awhile since I had a pasta dinner at Scruffy’s but the real winner on this plate? The Brussels sprouts. You know, those Green Giant bags you just pop into the microwave? The salt and pepper Brussels sprouts are my favourite. Everything else is covered in butter these days so it’s great to have a different flavour. Also, the garlic bread this time was fantastic. Not too certain what they did differently but I had two! .. Or maybe I was just starving.

2018 Jamie’s Birthday

June 30, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Bombay Grill Lunch

I went and picked up lunch for Scruffy and I at Bombay Grill. I haven’t had it in a long time since Scruffy got sick from them. We came to a conclusion that it was most likely their yogurt so we steer clear of that now. We ordered hot since the medium was never spicy enough and it was perfect!

2018 Jamie's Birthday Present

We went and visited Mama in the hospital. Jamie and Ashy came home and Jamie opened her birthday present a day early. I’m excited to see the tea flowers bloom.

Bistro Provence | Houston, Texas

For her birthday dinner we went to Bistro Provence. Scruffy’s boss used to take him here when he worked at the other company so I was excited we were finally getting to try it.

[2018] 181/365: Best Dang Dinner

Okay, it’s not the best dinner but it was dang delicious. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a French restaurant and eaten like this so it hit the spot. Everyone loved my duck entree and we all agreed the foie gras was on point.

Can anyone take me to France? I want to eat like the French … and maybe then I’ll lose a few pounds. haha

EID Mubarak!!

June 15, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

End of Ramadan | Eid Mubarak

Today marks the end of Ramadan or as they would say, EID Mubarak! We celebrated by going to Camilla’s house for some light snacks. Jamie made a tomato sauce with egg type thing that you dip with bread. The other crazy looking thing is like a funnel cake but much oilier. They love their carbs! haha

Jarro Cafe Tacos

We then went to the Jarro Cafe. It’s been forever and we were bummed when we found out they were all out of pastor. We ended up getting three tacos total, one for each of us and sharing the last one. Yum. I wish they were closer to my house!

2018 | 166/365 | Cravin' Cajun Date with Scruffy

[2018] 166/365:

We went back to my place, lazed around and headed to 99 Ranch Market before eating dinner at Cravin’ Cajun. I was shocked when Scruffy said he craved it so I agreed to it without hesitation. We ended up order four pounds of crawfish, one pound of shrimp, two corns, and A LOT of potatoes.

It’s been a great day. I really do miss having every other Friday off. It really puts into perspective how much I actually got done not having to work those two Fridays a month. Now to relax for the rest of the weekend.
