[2018] 219/365: Kim’s Convenience
Guys, I brought up this show on my last post and I cannot believe how much I like the show. They only have two seasons but my fingers are crossed for more.
Although I’m not Korean it’s a great feeling to see Asians on my screen, not as a crazy sidekick or a joke but as the main cast.
The show is funny and heartwarming and I wish for more shows like this. If anyone has any recommendations please share because I’m low on shows to watch.
Work was a clustereff. How one person can confuse so many is beyond me. It’s like the worst special talent ever. I was so busy that I ended up forgetting to eat lunch until past one.
After work I went to my doctor appointment that kept me there until forever just to tell me they can’t really do anything for me until I get blood work.
[2018] 218/365: Creamy Goodness
Since Scruffy lives near the hospital I was at I stopped by for dinner. Dinner took a while so we watched half an episode of Shameless before enjoying a delicious carb filled meal.
P.S. If you have Netflix, watch Kim’s Convenience. Simple and a bit funny.
Scruffy and I woke up in search of delicious raw goodness and landed in Square Root Poke. It’s in the new Asian area in Katy!
We shared a small poke bowl and the place has a pot of miso soup, complimentary! We drank two mini bowls worth. I’m not a super big lover of miso but this one was actually pretty tasty.
The poke bowl didn’t have enough sauce. They did say we could go back up and ask for more but there were customers and we weren’t about to stand and wait I’m line.
We drove slow around the area to see what new stores were going to pop up and found Gong Cha. We shared a Taro Milk Tea with tapioca. We should have said less sugar because we were in a sugar rush after.
[2018] 217/365: Whole Foods Date
We walked around World Market and Whole Foods before grabbing a chicken noodle soup and a slice of pepperoni pizza from the self-serve bar. We then pay for everything and sat down at the bar they had in the middle of the store and he ordered a beer, I got a rose and we ate our foods.
I’ve always wanted to do a Whole Foods date so I was glad we crossed it off the list. Can we have more my love?
We went back to my house where we watched Shamless and fell asleep. We woke up in time for Korean BBQ with the family before he called it a night. This boy loves Bulgogi and I love that he eats so much because he’s a small eater.
Tomorrow, it’s back to reality. Sigh … I need a vacation.
[2018] 216/365: Food Coma
Scruffy and I checked out Joy Love Foods. He’s been told they have amazing burgers and we were both feeling for a burger so it was a no brainier.
I went a little crazy and ordered other things like the Cajun wings and chili cheese curly fries. Those weren’t worth the money. We had regular curly fries and a burger togo because we were too full.
Scruffy is down to come back for burgers and I’m down to try the tots!
Afterward we went to Hmart to pick up groceries for tomorrow’s dinner with the family before heading home for a break before heading out again for Katie’s birthday dinner.
We just now got back and he’s waiting for me to play some games before we call it a night I’ll catch yall up tomorrow!
Scruffy came over with Luna after I got off work. We decided to hit up our first Houston Restaurant Week place tonight but since our reservation was not until eight pm we decided on a light snack at James Coney Island. This is the first time that I’ve been here and I was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it be.
Afterwords we chilled at home for a bit before heading to The Melting Pot.
He started off with a flat tire while I went for a wine flight. The one flying consisted of four different wines to pair with our four courses. For the cheese, a Meiomi, Pinot Noir, California. For the salad, a Starborough, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand. For the entree, a Portillo, Malbec, Valle de Uco, Argentina. For the chocolate, a Luccio, Moscato d’ Asti, Italy.
My favourite wine was the salad wine while Scruffy enjoyed the entree one. Overall it was a great experience because I’ve never had a different one pair for every course before.
Her first entrée was the loaded baked potato cheddar cheese fondue which comes with cheddar cheese blend potatoes, garlic and wine seasoning, bacon, green goddess, and scallions. It came with bread, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers and apples.
Look at that cheese pull!
Our second course was a type of salad. I went with the melting pot house which came with romaine iceberg mix, cheddar, eggs, tomatoes, croutons, with a white balsamic dressing. Scruffy opted for the Caesar salad. Both, we felt was just a filler but nice to have since there wasn’t much vegetable overall.
We were starting to get full but we pushed through to the third course. We decided on the mojo broth, a Caribbean seasoned bouillon with distinctive garlic and citrus flair which was super limey in our opinion when the broccoli and mushrooms came out. We both got the classic entrée which came with certified Angus beef sirloin, shrimp, Memphis style dry rub pork, herb crusted chicken breast, and teriyaki marinated sirloin. The told us how long to cook everything and it all tasted fantastic.
We were stuffed to the brim and didn’t actually finish every single meal that we had on our dish. But we knew that we had to try the flaming turtle chocolate fondue which is a combination of milk chocolate, caramel and candied pecans flambeed table side. The strawberries and chocolate covered marshmallows were my favorite.
[2018] 215/365: Date Night with My Mustache Boo
I’m glad we finally had a romantic night out and we both got to experience a new way of eating together. Scruffy said he’d come back for the cheese course whereas, I am okay never coming back. It was delicious but definitely not worth the money.
Now it’s time to snuggle up for some Shameless. Night everyone.
