Patricia’s Friendsgiving/White Elephant Party | San Antonio, Texas

December 4, 2017 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Last weekend Patricia was throwing a Friendsgiving/White Elephant party so Scruffy and I made plans to go up for a quick trip.

On Thursday we left his house to mine, switched cars and traveled up to San Antonio in time for a late lunch at Rolling Fish Sushi Burrito & Poke. We shared an unagi and salmon poke bowl with everything in it.

We then headed to HEB and Specs before checking into our hotel where we pretty much spent the rest of the night drinking and doing a whole lot of nothing. It was very relaxing having just us two.

We saw a commercial for Popeye’s but since it was so far away we brought back some Church’s to the hotel room where we ate and watched telly before calling it a night.

On Friday, we woke up for a hotel breakfast and Scruffy worked a bit while searched for jobs before we headed off to lunch.

I always try to hit up Taqueria Datapoint when I’m in town and was ecstatic when he agreed to go with me. We shared a plate of mini tacos since we had plans to drink and eat something else soon.

We jumped from Big Hops Huebner to Flying Saucer Draught Emporium for a few beers before heading back to the hotel. We relaxed at the hotel for a bit before heading back out for a quick early dinner.

Smashin Crab | San Antonio, Texas | Half Dozen Raw Oysters

Half Dozen Raw Oysters | $12

We made plans to hit up Smashin Crab (for me because I love seafood boils) and then hit up somewhere else for him. Once we sat down and got our food, going somewhere else was out the window. We started out with half a platter of oysters and a pound of shrimp with potatoes, corn, and sausages.

Smashin Crab | San Antonio, Texas | Shrimp Boil with Potatoes, Corn, and Sausages

Shrimp Boil [trinity sauce and level 3 alarm heat] | $14/lb + $1/corn + $0.50/potato + $2/sausage (4 pieces)

Soon enough we were ordering another pound of shrimp, potatoes, and corn. My goodness gracious. This is the best seafood boil I’ve been to and Scruffy agrees. We will be coming back once crawfish season is in. Yum!

We stopped by HEB then went back to the hotel for to get ready for Patricia’s party. We all drank, caught up, and played white elephant before calling it a night. It was nice to finally meet Patricia’s boyfriend and to see everyone else. Every time I go back I wished I lived there. Once we were back at the hotel, Scruffy started getting hungry and we ordered Uber for McDonald’s and soon realized we had too much food and not a big enough stomach. Before long, we both knocked out.

Patricia invited us for breakfast so when we woke up Saturday morning, we packed our car and headed over to her house for a delicious home cooked breakfast, bid our farewells, and headed back home towards Scruffy’s house, stopping by Buccee’s for Scruffy to grab a taco to go.

We stopped by Andrew’s house before ending up at Scruffy’s where we picked Luna up and headed back to my house.

Homemade Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Salad, and Garlic Bread

Scruffy and I made Fettuccine Alfredo, garlic bread, and salad for dinner. The family and Tim seemed to love it. With all the traveling, Scruffy and I watched telly and fell asleep.

Spicy Bulgogi and Soondubu Chigae

Before Scruffy left on Sunday, we had lunch at Tasty Ko. Delicious Bulgogi and Soondubu Chigae. Yum. It was perfect since it was cold and raining.

New favourite restaurant: Smashin Crab. I am jealous of everyone who lives in San Antonio.

Reunions, Oreo Cheesecake Macaron, and Feasting It Up

October 23, 2017 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Last week was one of the busiest I’ve had in a long time and I loved it!

Tuesday, October 17th

Trisha was in town for work and was able to hang out for a couple of hours. We chose Jinya Ramen Bar – perfect timing since it was happy hour time.

Jinya Ramen Bar | Katy, Texas | Sprouting Up Ramen, Crispy Chicken, Jinya Buns, Caramelized Cauliflower

Sprouting Up Ramen [pork and chicken broth, pork chashu, kikurage, spicy bean sprouts, green onion, half seasoned egg, crispy brussels sprouts, black pepper, ginger, served with thick noodles]; Crispy chicken [juicy fried chicken thigh with original garlic pepper served with mixed baby greens and Jinya’s original ponzu sauce]; Jinya Bun [steamed bun stuffed with slow-braised pork chashu, cucumber, and baby mixed greens served with Jinya’s original bun sauce and kewpie mayonnaise]; Caramelized Cauliflower [caramelized cauliflower with toasted pine nuts, crispy mint leaves, and lime sauce]

We ordered so much food. The best thing there are the buns! (We both had two each.) It was sad to see her go but always swell getting to catch up with her busy life. This was also the day I got a nail in my car. Whomp, whomp. Luckily whenI took it in the next day, they were able to mend it for free! #winning

Wednesday, October 18th

Juhi, Erin, and I went to Saeed’s Mediterranean Grill for lunch.

Saeed's Mediterranean Grill | Houston, Texas | Combo Plate #2

Combo Plate #2 [chicken shawarma & gyro served with two sides (spicy hummus & green beans) and pita bread] | $11.99

The food isn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good enough to where I’d come back. I prefer the gyro meat over the chicken shawarma. The chicken was too dry. If you run out of pita, just ask them for more, it’s free!

Thursday, October 19th

Zuco and I signed up to do a wood painting class but due to food poisoning on my end, we had to cancel. Luckily we were able to get the materials from the “teacher” and do them ourselves.

I finally got to see her new place and we ate pizza with Kemp before we started. It’s so rare to see her nowadays so I cherish it tremendously.

Friday, October 20th

Los Balito's Taco Shop | Katy, Texas | Mini Tacos & Carne Asada Fries

Mini Tacos [barbacoa, pastor, and carne asada]; Carne asada fries

I went and picked up breakfast for Ann and I at Los Balito’s Taco Shop then I headed to Ann’s parents’ house where we caught up. I haven’t seen or talked to her like we did in forever so it was nice to do so.

I finally got to meet little Colsen. He is so adorable! And so much hair! Reminds me of his Uncle Tony. Soon enough it was his nap time and time for me to skedaddle. I went and picked up my contacts, cashed in a check at the bank, went to WalMart to pick up parchment paper, and gased up the car. I sat waiting for Juhi since her doctor’s appointment ran late.

An hour plus later, Juhi arrived and we started our baking. I measured out the ingredients as she chomped down on Whataburger. We’ve been wanting to make macarons and finally found a day we were both free!

Her roommate had these two kitties … furless kitties. They’re so playful. I describe touching them as like when a guy shaves his head and you touch that. Exactly the same.

When we were waiting for the macarons to set on the counter, I met her pet hamster. Cutest and shyest little thing. Soon enough it was time to put the first batch in the oven. We were worried they were going to turn out horrific.

The majority came out looking like this. Shiney top shell with a foot! We were so proud. Especially since we went through a lot of trail and error to get to this point!

The final macaron in all its glory. We definitely put way too much filling inside. Whoops! But we were proud of them regardless. I went to Scruffy’s afterward for dinner of ribs, shredded pork, and coleslaw. A little bit of Super Mario, Astros, then bedtime.

Saturday, October 21st

Hickory Hollow | Houston, Texas | Large Rancher Chicken Fried Steak with sides

Large Rancher Chicken Fried Steak [with 2 sides (mac ‘n’ cheese and loaded mashed potatoes) and gravy on the side] | $14.99; Southern Green Beans; Hot Tots [spicy potato puffs]; Fried Okra

Rami invited us over to hang out along with his parents so for lunch we went to Hickory Hollow. I wouldn’t say it’s the best chicken fried steak since the breading falls off but it’s not bad. The best thing there are the hot tots so don’t forget to order those.

After hanging out at his place a while longer Scruffy and I left and headed to Sissy’s and BIL’s where we later walked to 8th Wonder Brewery. I didn’t really drink but I didn’t mind sitting there. They changed up the place so now it’s indoor with ac. I guess they realized how much business they lost in the summertime.

We went back to their place where we played board games, grilled and had dinner, and watched the Astros game. RIght when the game ended Scruffy and I scurried away so that we wouldn’t get stuck in traffic. Once we got back he went to play video games with his buddies and I watched telly while I searched for jobs before heading off to bed.

Sunday, October 22nd

We woke up and headed over the Andrew’s. Scruffy’s usual Sunday plans. How cute are they?

Then we went to Ramble Creek Grill for burgers.

Ramble Creek Grill | Richmond, Texas | All Jacked Up Burger

All Jacked Up [Monterey Jack cheese, jalapenos, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes and Ramble sauce] | $9.99 – tater tots instead of fries +$1.50

Scruffy opted for tater tots which I will say tastes way better than the fries.

Ramble Creek Grill | Richmond, Texas | The Rambler Burger

The Rambler [Cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions and Ramble Sauce] | $10.99 – with chili cheese fries

I opted for chili cheese fries and I’ve decided next time I come, I’ll just get the tater tots and ask for the chili cheese to be on the side so that they stay crispy. Also, their bacon isn’t good for burgers. They fry it up real nice so it tastes delicious but the way they curl up does not fit in the burger. Instead if took it out and shared it with Scruffy to eat like a chip. Also the egg didn’t run so that made for a sad reveal.

Since there was so much to do on the weekends, it went by too quickly. I cannot wait for a free weekend to do nothing but relax. Scruffy and I have coupons for a massage and I so badly want to use it soon.

Graduations, Birthdays, Crawfish, and More JJ

May 23, 2017 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

On Thursday at Wild Wing Cafe, Michael finally had a chance to meet JJ and even hold him. JJ wouldn’t have it though partly because it was nearing his bedtime. Mallory and I haven’t seen him since the high school reunion and figured it was time for a catch up.

I met up with Delisha Friday at La Madeline for my belated birthday lunch. It was great getting to catch up with her and see how she’s doing. And she was nice enough to pay for my meal and even get me a fruit tart. #winning

Red Sangria, Beer, Housemade Potato Chips with Jalapeño Feta Dip, and Housemade Angus Mini Meatballs

After Scruffy got off work, we went to Next Door Bar & Lounge for some drinks and snacks. Do not order their meatballs. They are five itty bitty things with mashed potatoes all around. Do go for the potato chips though. Their dip is out of this world! We also went to King’s Head Pub, his favourite bar place where Saleh came to join us.

Then we all headed to Ahmed and Noora’s graduation party. They had such cute little cakes made. I didn’t try them but I heard they were delicious.

They even got Niko’s Niko’s catered! So much goodness on one plate!

Saturday morning Scruffy and I met up with Sissy and BIL for a chill drinking session at Buffalo Bayou Brewing. Two and I was done. Scruffy had like six and could keep going if we stayed any longer. Crazy boy. I’m hoping to come back for their better beers later in the year.

We then all went home and helped out for a family crawfish boil. Mmm … Dad went crazy and bought sixty pounds of crawfish for six people not counting Sissy who’s a vegetarian. Timothy came over later to help out then we played a few rounds of Camel Up and called it a night.

Sunday afternoon was Hannah’s birthday celebration since her birthday was actually the day when Ahmed and Noora celebrated their graduation. All home cooked goodness. The chicken was the best thing ever along with the green beans.

After work today Scruffy and I walked around the mall then headed to Los Cucos for dinner plans with Mallory and JJ. The first time Scruffy met JJ, he was asleep in his carrier but this time he was wide awake and he finally got to hold JJ. Too adorable.

When San Antonians Visit Houston

September 8, 2016 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Friday, August 12th

Patricia, Amy, and Travis drove down after work from San Antonio to Houston to visit me that weekend. When they arrived, Scruffy and I met them at BJs for a few drinks before heading to our reservations at

Uncle Julio’s
20526 Katy Fwy
Katy, Texas 77450
(832) 464-8930
https://www.unclejulios.com/locations/katy/

Scruffy and I shared a taco plate since we ate previously. The food wasn’t that great but we weren’t really there for the food. We’ve seen a video passed around on Facebook about a dessert so we decided to try it out.

Uncle Julio's | Katy, Texas | Patricia & Chocolate Pinata

Patricia pre-pinata batting

The famous Chocolate Pinata [filled with homemade mini churros, fresh fruit and berries, served with raspberry, chocolate and caramel sauces and house-made whipped cream] | $25.

The best dessert I’ve had in forever. So freaking good. The churros were still crispy even though it was mixed with the fruit inside the pinata. And I never knew I could love tempered chocolate so much.

We said our farewells while they headed to their hotel to check in while Scruffy and I hung out for a little while back at my house before calling it a night.

Saturday, August 13th

I woke up bright and early and made my way to their hotel. I hung out with the girls for a bit before waking up Travis and headed to our $20 Houston Restaurant Week lunch reservations at

The Grove
1611 Lamar Street
Houston, Texas 77010
(713) 337-7321
http://thegrovehouston.com

Once we sat down, we were presented Salted Peanuts | free. They were pretty good and I wish we had more.

FIRST COURSE

I gobbled up the Deviled Eggs [smoked salmon, picked corn & chilies, rooftop dill, pickle juice vinagirette] in seconds. I wish there was more of this as well. I’ve never really been a big fan of deviled eggs since it’s ususally just mayo but this changed my outlook. Deviled eggs do not need to have mayo!

SECOND COURSE

I only ate the inside of the Crispy Chicken Sandwich [Tabasco honey, slaw, pickles, mayonnaise, seasoned fries] and it was delicious. Plus nothing can ever go wrong with fries!

Discovery Green | Houston, Texas | Photoshoot

Top: Patricia, Me, Amy Bottom: Patricia, Travis, Me, Amy

We walked around Discovery Green and took some pictures in front of the colorful buildings.

We were mostly walking around Discovery Green to catch Pokemon as was everyone else in the world. Travis and Patricia were very into it and we ran into this billboard with rules for Discovery Green. Too funny and a little sad.

We ran into this gorgeous piece of art. I’m in love and wish I can have something like this up on my wall one day. Sigh … someone make me one?

We then went to drop off Patricia’s car at Sissy’s to save money since I planned to stay over at the hotel. Afterward we stopped for a coffee break at

Tout Suite
2001 Commerce Street
Houston, Texas 77002
(713) 227-8688
http://toutsuite.co

Trying to be artsy with Amy’s espresso and the macarons Patricia bought for the girls. Since she didn’t get Travis one, I gave mine to him instead.

Tout Suite | Houston, Texas | Mellie Dee & Travis

Me & Travis

Amy got this picture of me while I was taking pictures of the food while Travis ignored the girls being girls talking about random crap.

We planned to go to the brewery but realized it was going to close in a few minutes so I took Amy and Travis back to the hotel so that they could take a nap. Then Patricia and I went to the Galleria since she needed to get another shirt. Someone didn’t pack enough clothes. haha

Me, Amy, Patricia

Along the way plans changed and I went to drop Patricia back off at her car while she drove back to the hotel and I went to go pick up Sammy up before heading to the hotel as well. We all pregame while getting ready before heading to our reservations for dinner at

Arcodoro
5000 Westheimer Road
Houston, Texas 77056
(713) 621-6888
http://arcodoro.com

They had a Houston Restaurant Week menu but we weren’t a big fan of it at all so we all ordered off the menu a la carte.

Bread | free was very dry even with the olive oil. I wasn’t a big fan.

Scruffy and I shared the Carpaccio di Manzo al Tartufo [paper-thin slices of raw beef filet mignon topped with creamy black truffle dressing & micro greens] | $15 which was so freaking good. I wish we ordered more of these and just kept eating it until we were full.

Arcodoro | Houston, Texas | Travis, Amy, Patricia, Mellie Dee, Scruffy

Group Picture: Travis, Amy, Patricia, Me, Scruffy

Mum texted asking for a picture of the group. She’s met everyone but Amy and wanted to see how much the other two has changed since she last saw them.

We also shared the Paella Sardinian Style [Fregula simmered with saffron lobster stock & a medley of scampi, shrimp, mussels, clams, calamari & sea bream fillet] | $42 which wasn’t as great as the one Scruffy and I had at Fernando’s. We were pretty disappointed especially with how much it cost.

Arcodoro | Houston, Texas | Mellie Dee & Scruffy Selfies

Me & Scruffy being sillies

I know he’s not a big fan of pictures so I’m always delighted when he gives in and takes any kind of picture with me.

The fellas wanted to go to a piano bar and since we wanted to stay close by, Scruffy found

Caps Piano Bar
2610 Briar Ridge Drive
Houston, Texas 77057
(713) 784-0024
http://capspianobar.com

Online, it states it’s an older crowd and well … they weren’t lying. The crowd was over the hill and the drinks were very expensive. I asked for water and all they had was bottled water for five dollars. Scruffy didn’t know what to do so he still got it for me and the rest of the night, we made fun of the expensive Ozarka water. I guess it wasn’t too bad since we did receive two bowls of popcorn. Mmm … I love popcorn.

They chugged their drinks and we headed to a place where it was more our age.

Richmond Arms Pub
5920 Richmond Ave
Houston, Texas 77057
(713) 784-7722
http://richmondarmsonline.com

We played trivia and had some random conversations which is pretty much all I ask for when I hang out with my friends. After a while, Patricia ordered a Basket of Chips [aka fries] | $4.50 and Scruffy ordered Fried Mozzarella [6 fried cheese sticks served with marinara] | $7.50 for everyone at the table which was perfect since our dinner wasn’t all the best.

Richmond Arms Pub | Houston, Texas | Mellie Dee & Scruffy Selfies

Me & Scruffy

We headed back to the hotel and hung out a little longer playing Never Have I Ever which sparked a lot of questions. haha Soon after, Scruffy and I headed home. Having Scruffy interact and fit in with my friends makes my heart so happy.

Sunday, August 14th

After a great night’s sleep, I woke up and drove back to Katy to meet the fellas for brunch at Dish Society.

Kickin’ Kombucha Grapefruit | $5.50 and Quinoa Stuffed Avocado [a whole avocado topped with citrus quinoa relish on organic greens] | $9

After sharing our weekend adventure story recaps, we said our goodbyes. They headed back to San Antonio and I headed back to Scruffy’s house where we brewed our own beer.

I always want to move back to San Antonio whenever I hang out with anyone from San Antonio which makes me start debating if I should look for jobs there. Sigh … decisions.

2016 Summer Getaway | Day 5 & 6

August 23, 2016 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

We didn’t notice our gorgeous backyard view at our AirBnB until that morning when we were all packed and ready to leave. On the drive back to Seattle, we tried to eat our Tim Horton’s donuts in the car as breakfast but like I mentioned before, it was bleugh.

Before we crossed the border, we stopped by the duty-free store for some last minute souvenir shopping.

Then waited in line to cross the border where there was a match on Scruffy’s passport so we had to leave the car and walk into the building. They told us his passport had been reported stolen.

They asked questions and did some investigation during which I tried to make him laugh but it didn’t work. Luckily they let us cross the border, but they kept his passport.

Serious Pie

http://tomdouglas.com

We made plans to eat pizza here since it was on his list and we didn’t have a chance to in the beginning of our trip.

We both ordered beers because apparently beer and pizza is a thing.

We shared the Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms with Truffle Cheese | $19. It was very savory and we kind of wished that we got a pizza that had a tomato sauce base but we finished it all anyway. I really liked having the mushrooms in every bite and surprisingly loved the crust – crispy but soft inside.

Dahlia Bakery
2001 4th Ave
Seattle, Washington 98121
(206) 441-4540

I wanted to bring treats to eat on the plane or to take back home and since this was next door, it was perfect.

French Macaron [flourless lemon lavender] | $1.75 wasn’t that great.

Chocolate Chunk Cookie | $2.75 was so huge and was chewy, just how I like it.

Dog Treats [peanut butter & bacon] | $0.75 each – our pups gobbled it up … but I think they gobble everything up.

He gassed up the car while I cashed in my lotto. Then we returned our car and took and Uber to the airport.

When we almost got to the security line, he realized he lost his drivers license and having his passport taken up didn’t help. Luckily he had his old college id and credit cards and after some questions and a body search, we were on our way.

Nothing was going right that day and since we got to the airport early, we went to this restaurant.

We shared a Blue Moon.

And some nachos – bleugh.

We finally boarded but had to sit separately since we forgot to check in the day before. When we were almost back at his house, we realized our backpack was left on the bus that takes us from the airport to where our car was parked but decided to get it the next day since nothing very expensive was in there.

The next day, he woke up early to fill in forms for his driver’s license and went online to “stand in line” virtually so we didn’t have to spend so much time at the center. Once we finished, we drove back to the airport parking place to grab my backpack.

El Tiempo Cantina

Then we had lunch of drinks with chips and dip and Mexican food. They have my favourite green sauce!

When he was about to take me home, I realized I left my house keys on his desk back at his house. What else can go wrong, right? Luckily, Mum worked five minutes from my house so we didn’t have to go back to his place.

Overall, I had a great trip and we both learned more about one another. I haven’t scared him away just yet and he still wants to vacation with me. We’ve already booked tickets to Denver in December. Eeep! First time seeing snow for me.
