Reunions, Birthdays, and Friendsgivings

November 23, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

This morning was all about online shopping. Sissy and I used Google Hangout to shop together since buying more usually meant free shipping. We spent over and hour shopping at Ulta. Then I got changed and awaited Rosanna’s arrival.

We went to Shake Shack for a late lunch which is one of the best fast food place I’ve been to. I would definitely come back again.

We walked around and went to Sephora and the Starbucks Reserves. We didn’t order anything but went to a regular Starbucks for the buy one get one free deal.

We stopped by Sugarfina hoping to get some gifts for the interns but the price wasn’t worth it. Instead, we had a picture opportunity in front of the pretty wall. It was great seeing her again and hearing about her adventures and wedding plans.

We we’re soon home, chilling and shopping. Rizzo loves the media room and tends to fall asleep on the blankets.

We ordered some Thai food for Brudda’s birthday dinner.

And enjoyed a Berry Chantilly cake.

The kids all got ready and headed out to Peter’s Friendsgiving. I was expecting all Asians but was surprised to find many different ethnicities. We are still here and it is so crazy it reminds me of college parties. Luckily we had some chill catch up times and I’m able to get this post up before the night is over.

It’s been a crazy day but much appreciated. I cannot believe the weekend is here and then it’s back to work again. Whomp.

[2018] 293/365: Eureka Heights Brewery

I’m so happy and grateful to spend time with Emmy before we left to Scruffy’s with the pups. We went to Sissy and BIL’s to pick them up to Eureka Heights Brewery. We played a couple rounds of Grizzled board game and chilled for a bit.

After drinking we dropped off the car by the house and walked to Rodeo Goat for a late lunch. Scruffy and I headed back to the house aiming to have dinner with his family but I am so full that I am still not able to eat anything!

We watched Game Night which is actually a pretty funny and thought out movie. I really liked the end during the credits. Now to relax before bed.

Celebrating Rizzo’s Birthday with Floor Seats to the Rockets Game

First things first, Happy birthday, Rizzo! He is my little protector so I got him this security shirt a while back. The muscles make it even funnier. Also, Pet Supplies Plus gave him a free toy for his birthday!

To celebrate his birthday I went to the Rockets game. But not just any Rockets game. I was offered floor seats and I couldn’t pass them up!

Prisila and I started at the Truck Yard for a drink. They have some nice decor here and I’ll definitely want to come back. Jesse stopped by right as we were leaving but he came along with us.

We got hungry and knew it was smart to eat now than later at the stadium so we went next door to Rodeo Goat for some burgers and fries and some nice conversation.

Jesse was nice enough to drop us off while he went to park the trukt which we later found his wife had to pick him up due to truck issues. He missed the game. Such bummer. I’m glad he’s okay though.

We had a nice view smack in the middle of the court. I joked that I could smell their sweat and see the definition on their calves and biceps.

It was a dream sitting so close and brought me back to when I used to play. Those were the days. This group of gal and guys made it even better. Just a whole lot of silliness.

When’s the next one?

Joy Love Burgers | Katy, Texas

[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!

2018 Houston Restaurant Week | The Melting Pot | Houston, Texas

August 3, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

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.
