Milk Cow Houston | Katy, Texas

After work I volunteered to take Joel home since it looked as if it was going to rain. We stopped by Whataburger since I haven’t eaten and he talked about his relationship woes before I dropped him off.

[2018] 348/365: Milk Cow Houston

Mum’s coworker’s son opened up Milk Cow Houston in Katy and we decided to stop by. I was surprised at how light and fluffy it was! And it was nice to talk to the son and the family.

Since I hadn’t had dinner Mum joined me at Fish City Grill before going home. We overdosed on oysters. I was a but sad that the bluepoints were not fatty enough.

It’s been a long week and I’m glad I have a weekend of chill. Here’s to sleeping in all day and night!

Teahouse with Juhi

September 9, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

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

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: 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.

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.

2018 Happy Birthday Amina!

September 8, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Parents came home late last night and I was surprised to find so many face masks where brought back from Hong Kong! I split it up between Mum, June, Sissy and I and I am excited to try them all!

Scruffy and I shared a Halal Guys dish and hummus and went to fix my glasses. We’ve gotten to the point where we realize certain meals are better shared because there’s just too much food. I always want to order extra though for that nice picture so sometimes we do, like the hummus.

We stopped by Fivr Below to pick up cute little water doodle booklets for Amina and since we were going to be outside for the majority of the birthday party I decided to stop by Starbucks and pick myself up a venti iced caramel macchiato and a trenta iced tea lemonade for his Nana.

Amina had inflatable pools and even a water bounce house in the backyard. There were snacks and snow cones there as well. Before long we were singing happy birthday and cutting the cake.

[2018] 251/365: Texas Roadhouse Date

We went home and relaxed a bit with Kitchen Nightmares before heading to Texas Roadhouse. I’ve been craving a steak and Scruffy a chicken fried steak and it hit the spot for the both of us. I had so much steak to take home and some of Scruffy’s mashed potatoes.

We’ve watched episodes of Parks and Rec and are about to play trivia and whatever else. Secretly, I just want to cuddle in bed til I fall asleep. Well not secretly because Scruffy knows that’s all I ever want to do ….

2018 Houston Restaurant Week at Tobiuo Sushi & Bar

August 29, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Another Houston Restaurant Week for the books this year! Was it worth the $35 for four courses? Probably not.

Mallory and JJ came along for the ride with me and Scruffy. I haven’t seen these two for a long while so it was long overdue. This boy has grown up so fast!

We ordered two rounds of sake bombs, traditional between Mallory and I. I haven’t drank that much in such a long time I got tipsy.

Our first course was pretty bleugh overall. I believe the coconut shrimp was the best out of everything flavourwise.

Our second course blew me away! I was surprised to find that I had nine pieces of sashimi instead of six as stated on the menu. Everything was pretty good overall for this course.

Scruffy and I got the same for our third course. The ribeye was very flavourful and tender. Probably one of the best I’ve had in a while. Mallory’s salmon was pretty good too. I especially loved the crispy skin.

Four our fourth and final course, we were deeply disappointed. The waiter said the watermelon dessert was his favourite but it was horrible. Think of a watermelon soaked in lemon-citris juice. The summer shaved ice was a big giant fail. JJ had fun eating the fruit out of it though. The winner was the Lychee Ice Cream with Macarons.

[2018] 241/365: Dinner with Some Favourites

It’s usually just Mallory, JJ and I at dinner or over at her house so I was very estatic that Scruffy was around to join us. With him and Mallory chatting up a storm I was able to chopstick feed JJ and focus on him. He is adorable and makes me wish my niece was closer to us so I could do the same with her.

After dinner we all stopped by Sephora before heading home. I’m so pooped. I cannot wait to jump into bed. Good night!

Sons of Anarchy Board Game

August 26, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Sissy and BIL came over to celebrate June’s birthday early. We decided on Mona since June was up for some Italian food.

This place is like Chipotle, Italian style. You can make your own. I got the balonga sauce with gluten free spaghetti and a giant meatball with some farm fresh ingredients. Scruffy got chicken Alfredo fettuccine with some farm fresh ingredients. I would come back here again if I wanted something fast and fairly cheap. But their alfredo sauce was not that great. It was very watery and we think that it had to do with not draining the pasta well enough before mixing it.

We all headed back home and played a round of Sons of Anarchy Board Game. I’m not a big fan of killing each other type games but this one wasn’t so bad …. Maybe because I won!

Laundry in a meal prep later I was on my way to Scruffy’s house for dinner with his family. Delicious kebabs and chicken.

[2108] 238/365: Spontaneous Ice Cream

We headed home after dinner and we are currently at Andrew’s house for a quick pit stop. I grabbed a drumstick ice cream on the way for a treat.

I’m excited to shower and sleep soon. It’s been a super long day.
