[2018] 262/365: Bombay Pizza Express
Justin had a new hire today and nicely invited me to lunch with them. I gladly accepted since it’s not everyday I get to hang out with people above me.
We went to Bombay Pizza Express. I’ve heard of this place plenty of times being known for their pizza but I opted for the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. It was delicious but their sauce is too thin and watery for me to come back and get it again. If I do come back, I’ll try one of their pizzas.
After work I met up with Mallory and JJ at Chuck E. Cheese. I’ve never been here before so I didn’t know what to expect. But I did expect the mouse to be creepy x1000 (picture above of statue for proof). Surprisingly the costume looked normal and wasn’t as scary but the girls who were in the suit were super lazy to say the least. The kids like it regardless since they make it rain tickets.
Mallory and I each got pizza and beer, water for JJ. I did expect the pizza to be killer since Scruffy raved about it before and it was! I was extremely surprised. The bottom was crispy but it was still thick enough and the crust tasted like garlic butter. I want to pop out a kid just to get this again. I’m sure they have rules where you don’t need to have a kid if you’re just getting pizza, right?
[2018] 178/365: JJ and His Pizza
This is my favourite picture of JJ. He was walking, pizza in hand taking little bites. It was the cutest thing ever. When he got all into the games he handed me his pizza like, “hold this while I play”.
Mal and I entertained him with games. He loves anything with buttons but was especially enamored with the soccer one where a coin drops out. He picks it up and we roll the coin in where tickets come out. He loved ripping the tickets out and handing it to me. So cute.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen them and he’s grown so much. Sigh, makes me miss my niece and wish she was closer.
The day started with me eating leftover KFC while Scruffy and his parents cooked themselves breakfast. As I was getting ready they got pulled into the BP oil spill movie. It was so sad watching it since it was an incident that never should have happened.
When that ended, his parents went to the beach and Scruffy and I headed to the oil rig for a tour. As we were driving we realized just hot and humid it was and decided to do something else instead since the rig was going to be all outside. We passed by Pleasure Pier, somewhere I always wanted to do but the dang weather wasn’t cooperate.
We decided to pick up some things from Kroger and I picked up a vanilla bean frappacino to curb the dizziness I was getting from the heat.
We headed back to the house, ordered pickup pizza from Mario’s Pizza because Papa John’s said we were too far for delivery. Sigh …
Scruffy picked it up while I set up the Castle of Burgundy game. This pizza was actually decent. The only complaint we had was that they folded our pizza because it didn’t fit the box which in return ruined those two slices since the toppings slid right off. But no big deal.
[2018] 152/365: Galveston Beach
We only got through the first phase of five of the game before Rami, Caitlin, and Peyton came walking through the door. We packed up the game and played cards instead before heading to the beach.
It didn’t take long until we went back to the beach house and ordered dinner from Bluewater Grill & Ignoble Pizzeria. The food wasnt the best. They tasted like store bought everything.
Onething that was super disappointing was that they said their fries are different. When we opened the box expecting amazingness we saw dry, hard fries instead. This is definitely not a place we suggest.
I’m not too certain what the plans are now but I’m ready to fall straight to sleep it I could.
We’re obsessed with Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. Okay, maybe I’m obsessed and he just comes with me. I just really love the revolving bar and throwing those plates in! And since it’s so close to 85 Bakery, I’m always able to grab some goodies to go.
We went and returned my things from Loft and stopped and picked up a Taro Milk Tea from Dulce Tapioca, Scruffy’s favourite bubble tea place.
We went home and were lazy couch potatoes before heading out to grab drinks at World of Beer.
[2018] 139/365: Grimaldi’s Belated Birthday Celebration
We then met up with Mallory, JJ, and John for a belated birthday dinner of Grimaldi’s. It was delicious but way overpriced. I still believe Blaze has the best pizzas and you get to put as many toppings as you like for the same price.
At the end of the meal, I shared my free Nothing Bundt Cake and JJ was in love. He scarfed it all down! I gave the rest to them to take home and Mallory told me John ate it all right after they got home. haha
Does anyone remember these pizzas?! Scruffy made one last night and I had a bite half. It brought me back to middle school when I’d save my money to buy one because I HATED sandwiches and it was a nice change. I always thought they were some school branded pizzas but now that Scruffy found them, we joked that we’d share a box with salads as a meal because it’s cheap and filling.
[2018] 101/365: Getting Along Just Fine, Thanks For Asking
These pups are finally getting together just fine, and by that I mean Rizzo. He gets a bit territorial with me so it’s nice to see pictures like this. I was still asleep and Scruffy was able to get this shot.
We were trying to figure out what to have for lunch and we did just what we talked about, Red Baron pizzas with salad. We watched The Princess Bride as well. It’s apparently one of Scruffy’s favourite movies as it should be. It was funny and has a good storyline.
Since I got home, I’ve been cleaning getting ready for Wilson and Mei Mei’s arrival. They’ve actually landed last night but I won’t be seeing them until tomorrow night. They’ll be staying over and then we’ll be heading to the caves! Eeeep! I’m super excited!
Now to relax and have dinner … maybe a Red Baron? Mmmm …
