2018 | 050/365 | Cheddar's with Scruffy and Andrew

[2018] 050/365: Honey Butter Croissant Goodness

I used to hate honey, butter, or croissant. Something in my snapped and now I’m a lover of it. Or maybe it’s the fact that once they’re all mixed as one, it’s the BEST thing ever created.

Anyway, Scruffy and I met up with Andrew to Cheddar’s for lunch before heading to HEB for some goodies then home to do absolutely nothing.

Kebabs and Ice Cream with Cake

Ashy and Jamie had people over today for dinner and we enjoyed a DELICIOUS kebab dinner. The guests brought over chocolate chip ice cream and cake. What a duo!

Scruffy and I are now debating on playing a game or watching an episode of Games of Thrones. We’re secretly both trying hard to not finish it all since we know we’d have to wait for Season 8.

I’ve noticed my every day posting of a picture a day has been foods all day erryday. I need to go out and move around more cuz this isn’t a great look on me if you know what I mean. haha

New Pho Katy | Katy, Texas | Beef Vermicelli

Headed to New Pho Katy today before Brudda, SIL, and Emmy went back up to Dallas. We are not sure how much longer this place can keep afloat since we’ve been hear a few times, mostly because Sissy is a vegetarian, and it’s usually just us and no other customer.

2018 | 049/365 | Red Envelopes

[2018] 049/365: Red Envelopes

My Chinese New Year loot! I haven’t opened them yet though.

Nadeen's Baby Shower

Nadeen’s baby shower was later today and we enjoyed some homemade finger foods, played some cute games, watched her opened presents before everyone started to leave.

Luna and Rizzo Sleeping

Scruffy went home while I took a nap with Luna and Rizzo before following suit and went over to his house with the pups.

Vegetarian Dinner at Scruffy's

Ashy’s best friend, Komron, is visiting from California and made us a lovely vegetarian dinner. It was quite delicious and for Scruffy being a big meat eater, he ate more than I thought he would!

We’re now contemplating what to do before calling it a good night.

2018 Chinese New Year Weekend

by Leave a Comment

We went to Grandma’s to wish her a new year then Scruffy and I went to his house for a bit before heading back home to spend it with little Emmy and games.

2018 | 048/365 | Chinese Family Dinner

[2018] 048/365: Chinese Family Dinner

We all met up tonight for dinner at Katie’s, celebrating the new year and Timothy’s birthday, and had a crazy conversation about when Wilson and Mei Mei comes to visit.

Game Night

Now we are sitting around the table for more gaming before bed.

Dog Park with Soncco

Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the Dog. It just made sense to go to the dog park, right? We met up with Paola and Soncco this morning after I grabbed an iced coffee from Starbucks because I was T.I.R.E.D.

Luna and Rizzo Sleeping

After the dog park, I gave the pups a bath and here they are taking a mid-day nap. So freaking adorable.

Las Tarascas | Katy, Texas | Tacos

While they napped and I worked on my computer, Scruffy went to pick up some tacos for our late breakfast/lunch, from Las Tarascas. I used to go here a lot with Tony when we were at our old job. They are still delicious, but El Jarro Cafe still beats them by a lot.

Thai Cottage | Katy, Texas | Wings of Paradise and Curry Noodles

Later that night, we all went to Thai Cottage to celebrate the new year. I got the delicious Curry Noodles and shared two plates of Wings of Paradise.

Texas Mesquite Grill | Katy, Texas | Crawfish

Scruffy and I went to Texas Mesquite Grill so that he can have some beers. I saw crawfish on the menu and had to get, especially since I didn’t eat all my foods. Although this place isn’t seafood boil type of place, it was still delicious so much so that we I ordered another pound!

2018 | 047/365 | Scrabble in Scrabble

[2018] 047/365: Scrabble in Scrabble

We’re back home now, playing Scrabble and OH MY GOODNESS I cannot believe it! I finally got to use all my letters on a turn which means it’s a Scrabble which means I automatically get 50 points on top of whatever the original score is! I never knew that was a thing until I played Scrabble with Scruffy and his family.

He keeps telling me that the game is over after every turn we have but I want to see how high my score can really be since this NEVER happens to me!!

2018 Chinese New Year’s Eve

Laikh House Gourmet Cafe | Houston, Texas

Scruffy and I went to Laikh House Gourmet Cafe for lunch since there were such great ratings.

Laikh House Gourmet Cafe | Houston, Texas | All American Burger with Parmesan Fries

All American Burger [beef, American cheese, mayo, mustard, pickle, tomato, onions, lettuce] | $5.99 • Parmesan Fries | $3.99

We shared the burger and fries and were quite surprised to find that it wasn’t bad. I was even more surprised when Scruffy said he’d come back.

Laikh House Gourmet Cafe | Houston, Texas | Honeymoon Latte

Honeymoon Latte | $3.50 • Almond Milk | $0.50

The guy did forget to serve me my coffee but when I walked to the counter, he remembered before I had to say anything and had it out soon after. It was actually not bad but not sweet enough for my taste.

The only complaints I have is mostly that the floors were sticky and there were sewer-ish smells when you walk in. Not enough to deter us though.

2018 | 046/365 | Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

[2018] 046/365: Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner

Now that my Dad’s retired, he wants to go all out and be more traditional so ten dishes for five people. Everyone helped out in making this dinner happen. We have SO much leftover. It was delicious though and I was so happy to see that Scruffy ate more than he usually does.

We’re going to watch Megan Leavey together after the adults get home from buying flowers. haha

It’s been a great day.
