Crawfish Season Is Here!

by Leave a Comment

Dumplings & Sauce

Had dumplings for lunch while watching Three, a Hong Kong movie. So many things wrong with the movie but we love Louis Koo so we didn’t care.

2018 | 064/365 | Big Easy Crawfish & PoBoys | Katy, Texas

For dinner, we went and got some delicious crawfish from Big Easy Crawfish & PoBoy. This used to be Captain Crawfish but I guess they sold the place and now they’re new owners.

Big Easy Crawfish & PoBoys | Katy, Texas | Crawfish, Corn, Potatoes, Sausage

Crawfish | $7/lb OR $20/3lbs • Corn | 2 for $1.50 • Potatoes | 2 for $1.00 • Sausage Link | $2/link

We picked up a to-go order of 9 lbs of crawfish, potato, corn, and sausage so that we could watch another Hong Kong movie, Wild Nights. The crawfish had great spice and it was definitely way bigger than anywhere that I’ve had the past few weeks! I guess crawfish season is officially here! We both agreed we’ll come back.

Dead, Mangled Crawfish, Anyone?

Car Wash Galaxy

I started out the day with a relaxing carwash. I use to be afraid to go into one of these myself but now, it’s my quiet soothing time.

After shopping at World Market, I headed over to Wingstop for some reading and eating time. Also my quiet soothing time. HA This location is a hoot. Though their food came out better than many other Wingstops, this one had smaller chicken pieces and the staff — at least the cash register lady — she needs to be let go. Talk too much, work too little. The cook in the back tried to tell her to stop talking and that she had a customer waiting and she just kept going on and on. Thankfully the food was seasoned perfectly at this location though.

The Crawfish Man's Boiling Point | Missouri City, Texas

Later, I went over to Scruffy’s. He promised me crawfish tomorrow but since our plans had changed, we decided to go tonight instead. After reading reviews, he took me to The Crawfish Man’s Boiling Point.

The Crawfish Man's Boiling Point | Missouri City, Texas | Crawfish and Shrimp

3 lbs Crawfish | $23.97 • 1 lb Shrimp | $10.99 • Garlic Butter | $0.50 each • Corn | $0.50 each • Potatoes | $0.50 each

Everything cost extra in this place. The flavours weren’t bad, a bit on the salty side but I can live with that since it was delicious. The only complaint about the shrimp was that it was undercooked. As for the corn, they’re usually half a cob. This looked as if it was 1/4 of a cob each. I guess the potatoes made up for it though. They were both flavourless, boiled in unflavoured water. Thank goodness for garlic butter.

The Crawfish Man's Boiling Point | Missouri City, Texas | Dead Crawfish

We were throwing away the mangled/dead crawfish until we realized just how much was going to waste. The total was about 3/4 of a pound. You’d think a place that sells crawfish will do a better job of serving crawfish. They need to go through and pick these dead/mangled ones out.

Tornado Burger | Stafford, Texas

Since Scruffy wasn’t full due to the death of crawfish, we stopped by Tornado Burger so he could grab one.

Tornado Burger | Stafford, Texas | Spicy Burger with Chili Cheese Fries

He ordered the spicy burger and chili cheese fries. Everything was pretty good but I was too full to enjoy it. Scruffy said he’d come back so that should mean something.

Emmy’s 1st birthday party is coming up and I cannot wait to see that little girl’s gorgeous, laughing face. Until then, goodnight!

China Bear | Stafford, Texas | Crawfish

I started out the day with some crawfish with Scruffy at China Bear. It wasn’t the best so it was disappointing. Overcooked but I guess it’s what you’d expect from a buffet. I did fill up with some veggies, shrimps, and lo mein.

99 Ranch Market | Sugar Land, Texas | Coconut Bread

Afterward, we headed over to 99 Ranch Market to get his GMama some green onion crackers. We stopped by the bakery in there for some coconut bread to take back to my family. Look at all that bread!! My goodness!

[2018] 057/365: Happy Derpy Luna

Luna kept wanting us to throw the ball for her. This girl never stops with the ball. This is her face when I said “NO MORE!”

Luna | Tongue Out Waiting for the Ball

Later we went out where I helped his dad broom some of the leaves/dirt. Here’s Luna with her tongue out, waiting for me to throw the ball. Sigh … at least Daisy lives on.

Tahdig with Vegetables and Ground Meat

Ashy made us some delicious tahdig with some veggies and ground beef mixed in. We slathered on some Harissa Hot Sauce for some flavour since his GMama can’t have sodium.

Now I’m back at my own house, while Rocky and Rizzo sleep in my bed.

I Finally Got Scrabble in Scrabble!!!!!!

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!!

Too Much Food

99 Ranch | Katy, Texas | Milk Tea and Portuguese Egg Tart

Scruffy came over today. I made him Kimchi Soup Noodles and we headed to 99 Ranch so that he could pick some things up. I picked up a little snack for myself while we were there. Yum!

2018 | 033/365 | Cravin' Cajun | Katy, Texas | Crawfish and Shrimp with Potatoes and Corn

[2018] 033/365: Best Meal

Always a lover of crawfish and shrimp boils, we headed to Cravin’ Cajun mostly for me to get my fill. This place seems to be going downhill. Maybe it’s because it’s not in season but even the shrimp was overcooked. The flavour is still spot on though.

Texas Mesquite Grill | Katy, Texas | Original Burger with a side of Green Beans and Tasty AF Beer

Since Scruffy didn’t eat much, we went to Texas Mesquite Grill for him to get his burger. We told the server we were sharing but … we didn’t. I ate a few bites here and there but Scruffy polished it off as we both enjoyed one of our favourite beers, Saloon Door Tasty AF. Yum!

We seriously eat too much food lately. We want to go on a cruise but we both feel we need to lose weight beforehand. haha We’re not on the right track.
