To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

by Leave a Comment

Square Root Poke | Katy, Texas | Lotus Root Chip

Square Root Poke with Scruffy as our first meal of the day. We shared a large and had two small bowls of miso to go with it. This is a very filling and somewhat healthy choice. I really want to try their alternative carb choices. One day! Maybe when we are both starving enough to order our own.

We walked around Target, Office Max, and Home Goods before heading home. Scruffy played video games while I napped and I even watched To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. I’ve read the book so I was excited to see it on screen.

2018 | 230/365 | Korean BBQ with Scruffy and June

[2018] 230/365: Korean BBQ Goodness

Since the parents are away, Scruffy, June and I went and feasted. We bought meat and veggies for our own Korean BBQ and it was delicious. Without my parents there we already bought less and still couldn’t finish.

Work hard, play hard. Or in my case, eat hard. Scruffy picked me up for lunch and we went to Ono Poke.

Ono Poke | Houston, Texas | Prep

I wonder how long the fish has been sitting out in their bar. It’s kind of cool to see them prep our bowls though.

[2018] 142/365: Lunch Date with Scruffy

I got the Classic Ahi (adding seaweed salad, masago, and avocado) and Scruffy got the Spicy Salmon and Tuna. It was very delicious but we got sick of eating the same flavour and was happy we had each other’s to pick at. It would be pretty cool if they had a split bowl like boba places have split cups. Can I patent that?

Belated Birthday Dinner

by Leave a Comment

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

We’re obsessed with Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. Okay, maybe I’m obsessed and he just comes with me. I just really love the revolving bar and throwing those plates in! And since it’s so close to 85 Bakery, I’m always able to grab some goodies to go.

Dulce Tapioca | Taro Milk Tea

We went and returned my things from Loft and stopped and picked up a Taro Milk Tea from Dulce Tapioca, Scruffy’s favourite bubble tea place.

World of Beer | Black and Tan and Blueberry Beer

We went home and were lazy couch potatoes before heading out to grab drinks at World of Beer.

2018 | 139/365 | Grimaldi's Pizza

[2018] 139/365: Grimaldi’s Belated Birthday Celebration

We then met up with Mallory, JJ, and John for a belated birthday dinner of Grimaldi’s. It was delicious but way overpriced. I still believe Blaze has the best pizzas and you get to put as many toppings as you like for the same price.

Nothing Bundt Cake | Confetti

At the end of the meal, I shared my free Nothing Bundt Cake and JJ was in love. He scarfed it all down! I gave the rest to them to take home and Mallory told me John ate it all right after they got home. haha

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar | Sugar Land, Texas

Scruffy and I had lunch at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar | Sugar Land, Texas | Conveyor Belt

They are so high tech. Touchscreens, conveyor belts, dish counting, etc. The germaphobe in me wonders if anyone touches but doesn’t grab the dish but the germaphobe in me is also happy that they are all covered.

Some of the dishes we got. The black dish was not on the conveyer belt. Special ordered. Also, if you wanted any green plate ones made just for you, you could order on the touchscreen as well.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar | Sugar Land, Texas | Prize After Fifteen Dishes

After fifteen green dishes went into the dish counting system, the touchscreen contraption sounded and out popped a prize.

What a great idea! Especially for little kids. I got little sushi stickers which are super adorable. I’m going to use this in my planner to commemorate this day. Best. Date. Ever.

Rizzo At The Dog Park

Afterward, we went home and grabbed all three pups, Rizzo, Luna, and Miles. I made Rizzo have a fast photoshoot. How adorable is he?!

[2018] 083/365: Rizzo Attacks At The Dog Park

Maybe not so adorable after seeing this picture. I promise, no one got hurt! This is how he plays, teeth and all. I love how the little pit bull pup looks. Kinda like, “Um, hey, you’re overreacting.”

Squirrel Waiting On The Driveway

When we got back, we saw this squirrel sitting like this for a good two minutes in the driveway staring back at us.

Pizza Hut Delivery with Scruffy and Andrew

After bathing all the dogs, and taking showers ourselves, Scruffy relaxed with some video games and I relaxed with some online Python classes. Then Andrew came over, we ordered Pizza Hut delivery, and have been sitting on the couch watching telly since.

We lead an interesting life, I know. I’m ready for bed, but first, more Python learning/telly watching.

Sushi and Fried Foods

Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca | Sugar Land, Texas | Nigiris and Handroll

Scruffy and I woke up and went strolling at the mall before we went to Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca for a light snack. Just a handful of nigiri with a handroll. YUM! Scruffy rarely says, let’s get sushi because it’s so expensive so I jumped at the opportunity when he brought it up.

2018 | 041/365 | Clancy's Public House | Richmond, Texas | Chicken Fried Steak and Fish and Chips

Chicken Fried Steak [10 oz Angus beef, chicken fried & topped with cream and gravy served with mashed potatoes and green beans] | $16 • Fish and Chips [Guiness-battered cod golden fried & crispy served with fries, tarter sauce and malt vinegar] | $12

[2018] 041/365: Fried Foods and Green Beans

We went home for a bit so that he could throw the ball for Luna and I can have some downtime with my Chinese Soaps before we headed for drinks and early dinner at Clancy’s Public House. We both got fried foods but I felt a bit better getting a side of green beans. hehe

This upcoming week is Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. Eeeep, I’m excited!
