Milk Cow Houston | Katy, Texas

Whataburger with Joel

After work I volunteered to take Joel home since it looked as if it was going to rain. We stopped by Whataburger since I haven’t eaten and he talked about his relationship woes before I dropped him off.

[2018] 348/365: Milk Cow Houston

Mum’s coworker’s son opened up Milk Cow Houston in Katy and we decided to stop by. I was surprised at how light and fluffy it was! And it was nice to talk to the son and the family.

Fish City Grill with Mum

Since I hadn’t had dinner Mum joined me at Fish City Grill before going home. We overdosed on oysters. I was a but sad that the bluepoints were not fatty enough.

It’s been a long week and I’m glad I have a weekend of chill. Here’s to sleeping in all day and night!

EID Mubarak!!

End of Ramadan | Eid Mubarak

Today marks the end of Ramadan or as they would say, EID Mubarak! We celebrated by going to Camilla’s house for some light snacks. Jamie made a tomato sauce with egg type thing that you dip with bread. The other crazy looking thing is like a funnel cake but much oilier. They love their carbs! haha

Jarro Cafe Tacos

We then went to the Jarro Cafe. It’s been forever and we were bummed when we found out they were all out of pastor. We ended up getting three tacos total, one for each of us and sharing the last one. Yum. I wish they were closer to my house!

2018 | 166/365 | Cravin' Cajun Date with Scruffy

[2018] 166/365:

We went back to my place, lazed around and headed to 99 Ranch Market before eating dinner at Cravin’ Cajun. I was shocked when Scruffy said he craved it so I agreed to it without hesitation. We ended up order four pounds of crawfish, one pound of shrimp, two corns, and A LOT of potatoes.

It’s been a great day. I really do miss having every other Friday off. It really puts into perspective how much I actually got done not having to work those two Fridays a month. Now to relax for the rest of the weekend.

2018 Scruffy’s Birthday

Breakfast at the Beach House

After eating breakfast, the birthday boy opened all his presents.

Galveston Beaches

We then got ready and headed to the beach for a couple of hours before heading back to the beach house to clean up.

2018 | 153/365 | Scruffy's Birthday

[2018] 153/365: Happy Birthday, Scruffy!

Scruffy and I all clean and ready to head to The Strand where there are shops and restaurants and where you can drink on the streets.

Lapalapa | Galveston, Texas | Peach Bellini

I opted for a Peach Bellini from Lapalapa. I chugged it fast because the next place we wanted to go to doesn’t let outside drinks.

Murphy's Irish Pub | Galveston, Texas | Cheese Pizza

When we got to Murphy’s Irish Pub Jamie ordered a cheese pizza and Scruffy ordered a beer and a couple Irish Car Bombs for him and Rami.

Chugging the Bellini wasn’t a smart idea because I started to feel sick. Thank goodness for that tiny slice of pizza that made me feel better. I am bold enough to say that this is one of the best pizzas I’ve had.

Black Pearl Oyster Bar & Grill | Galveston, Texas

Soon later we all headed to the Black Pearl for Scruffy’s birthday dinner.

Black Pearl Oyster Bar & Grill | Galveston, Texas | Food

This is all the different foods I tried. We ordered way too much and am we packed the leftovers to go. This place isn’t bad. The gumbo is one of the best I’ve had. They give so much seafood! The etouffee could have been better. I would come back for the gumbo and oysters!

Now we are heading back to the beach house. I cannot wait to change out of these clothes and relax with a board game.

Early Birthday and Mother’s Day Feasts

Cravin Cajun | Katy, Texas

Cravin Cajun for the win. Sissy and BIL treated the parents, Scruffy, and I to yet another early birthday meal of delicious crawfish and etouffee.

2018 | 132/365 | Mother's Day Dinner

[2018] 132/365: Mother’s Day Dinner

We played board games and such before heading to Gordon’s for an early Mother’s Day dinner with the family.

Birthday Card from Mallory and John

Came home to a lovely, cute birthday card from Mallory and John.

Now everyone is sitting around playing games so I’m going to sign off. Night y’all!

Stuffing Our Faces

85°C Bakery Cafe | Sugar Land, Texas

I was running around like a headless chicken finding a place that notarizes I-9 forms for work. After a few attempts and getting back so many nos, I headed over to Scruffy’s where we hung out for a bit before heading to lunch. We stopped by 85 Degree Bakery since the restaurant wasn’t opened yet and grabbed a handfuls of goodies, mostly for my parents … if Ashy doesn’t eat it all.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar | Sugar Land, Texas

Once Kura Revolving Sushi opened we started to feast. Fifteen plates later, we got our little gift (sushi washi tape) and Scruffy scarfed another one before we called it quits.

2018 | 123/365 | Venice Nails & Spa | Sugar Land, Texas | Pedicure

After eating, I dropped Scruffy off at his house and stopped by the new job’s company to sign the I-9 form in front of them since I couldn’t find a place to notarize. After that I went and got my nails done at Venice Nail & Spa since Jamie and Ashy got me a gift card at Christmas time.

The Rouxpour | Sugar Land, Texas

I went back to Scruffy’s, hung out a bit and after a few hours of trying to decide where to go for dinner. Scruffy wanted to treat me to celebrate finding a job and we ended up at The Rouxpour for a drink and some delicious oysters. The one with spinach, crab, and hollandaise oyster was our clear winner as well as the original with nothing on it. As Scruffy describes it, super buttery and easy to go down.

The Sugar Refinery | Sugar Land, Texas

Few doors down was the The Sugar Refinery where we grabbed some Saloon Door Tasty AF, calamari, and an old fashioned.

HEB Seafood Stuffed Salmon and Frozen Brussels Sprouts

Since a lot of places were closing, we went to HEB and picked up things for our main entree meal. I went for the seafood stuffed salmon and frozen Brussels sprouts while Scruffy opted to fry fries, corn dogs, and whatever else he could get his hands on since Mum gifted him a fryer.

I am now tired and ready to just lay down and relax.
