Family Day in Waco, Texas

Uber Eats Breakfast Tacos

Sissy and I ordered breakfast tacos through Uber Eats while everyone ate kolaches Mum brought up from Houston.

George's Restaurant and Catering | Waco, Texas

After Emmy had her socializing class, we all headed to Waco. We had plans to check out Magnolia Table but due to the long wait, we headed to George’s Restaurant & Catering instead.

Dad and I shared our foods while Sissy and I shared our drink. The food wasn’t bad. I would opt out of getting the corn though. That was our least favourite.

Dr Pepper Museum | Waco, Texas

We then headed to the Dr Pepper Museum since Mum is their “biggest fan”. She even ordered it with her lunch, per usual. The museum, though small, was a bit fun. I liked that they had some interactive things for the viewers to take a part of.

We all got complimentary drinks. I went with the Sunkist. I drank a couple sips before Mum downed the rest.

Legends Thai Cuisine & Kung Fu Tea | Plano, Texas

We were going to stop by somewhere else too but decided to head back to Dallas. Sissy, SIL, and I played with Emmy while Brudda, Mum, and Dad went to Walmart and then picked up foods from Kung Fu Tea and Legends Thai Cuisine. This is one of the best Thai places I’ve had in America. It’s spicy and they give you so much for your buck!

[2018] 146/365: Game 6 Rockets vs Warriors

Though I’m extremely happy we had an amazing day with the family, my happiest was when I realized I finally get to watch the Rockets game. I haven’t been able to see any since I don’t have cable. Sadly, they are losing right now. Come on, Rockets, push on through!! Sigh …

Tacodeli | Houston, Texas

Free Snacks and Coffee at Work

I went a little crazy with the free breakfast snacks this morning. Don’t worry though, I only drank the coffee and ate my Chobani.

Tacodeli | Houston, Texas

I was so surprised to see a text from Scruffy asking me to lunch and even offering to pick me up! I let him decide where we go and chuckled when he said he wanted to go to Tacodeli, a place he goes with his boss every Tuesday. I would think he’d pick something else but I guess he wants me to try it.

2018 | 130/365 | Tacodeli | Houston, Texas | Scruffy

It wasn’t bad, I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest. I still put Jarro Cafe and Pacific Coast Tacos ahead of this but maybe I just need to try a few more different tacos to make a firm statement. Their scallop special taco was the shiet though.

Tacodeli | Houston, Texas | Salsa Dona House-made Salsa and Chips

Their Salsa Dona is a favourite so much so that you can buy a small size of it and dip it with their chips. I did just that so that I could have a snack while I worked but mostly so that I can bring it home for the parents to try. Mum loved it but I didn’t really get a response from Dad.

I was happy I had this as a snack since I was at work from six am to seven pm! And in my first week! I forgot to leave when I was doing something and it became a two-hour drive home so I opted to stay later, rack up some hours and drive home later for a way lesser commute.

Tieks

I came home to my lovely new Tieks!! But I’m not 100% sure if I’ll keep them both, especially since I shopped on DSW last night and have a few wedges coming in. I need to pull back on this shopping spree I’ve been on the last couple of weeks. And I don’t even LIKE to shop!

I’m excited for Saturday when I get to return everything I don’t like and get that money back though.

Los Cucos | Katy, Texas

[2018] 126/365: Celebratory Lunch

Scruffy loves the chimichanga from Los Cucos so I was able to convince my parents, Sissy, and BIL to go there for lunch. Sissy and BIL wanted to pay to celebrate me finding a job, Dad and Mum wanted to pay to celebrate the same thing but also to celebrate Sissy and BIL’s 5 years of marriage. I ended up winning and paid as thank you for taking care of me while I was jobless.

They have some great food. My favourite is their green tomatillo sauce that comes free with chips and red salsa. Scruffy found a recipe for the sauce so I’m excited to make it one day soon!

Afterward, we hung out for a short bit before saying goodbye to everyone. I’ve been lazy ever since. Tomorrow’s my first day. I’m ready! But I’m not.

[2018] 124/365: Salvadorian Deliciousness

I didn’t take many pictures today but I was lucky to get some pupusas for lunch. They were great but not the best. There’s a place in Katy that’s better at stuffing their pupusas. Their tamales though were my favourite but the clear winner was the carne asada plate for Scruffy and me.

We stopped by Wal-Mart and have been home ever since. Rami, Caitlin, and Peyton made a guest visit for dinner where Ashy made amazing fettuccine alfredo with garlic bread, salad, and asparagus. I was too busy trying to get pictures of everyone that I forgot to take a picture of the food.

I also bought a new PS4 game, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, to play with Scruffy and it seemed that Jamie liked it as well.

I’m ready to call it a night soon. This weekend will be my last before I start the new job. Eeep!

Best Damn Smoothie Bowl

[2018] 116/365: Pretty Smoothie Bowl

Guys … this is the prettiest smoothie bowl I’ve ever made! That gorgeous blue/purple colour from the frozen blueberries make my heart smile.

Rizzo on Rocky's Bed

I gave Rizzo a haircut while we were getting new doors put in. He’s such a great pup. He sits so patiently while I cut his hair or clean his ears. My baby!

Alameda Meat Market | Katy, Texas | Chicharron

When Mum and June got home, we changed and headed to dinner. We stopped by Alameda Meat Market for some beer since the dinner place is BYOB but when June and I saw the chicharrones we had to get some.

Cravin Cajun | Katy, Texas | Etouffee, Crawfish, Shrimp

Once we got to Cravin’ Cajun we put our order in and feasted! Etouffee, pounds of crawfish and shrimps. We even ordered extra and … kind of regretted afterwards because it was definitely too much food.
