Rizzo Sleeping On Me

Today has been a whirl. Rizzo has been sticking by me non-stop, even during nap time, afraid that I’ll leave without him. He’s been watching me pack and wanting to jump into my purse or bag, wherever he can fit. So freaking adorable.

Jin Korean BBQ | Plano, Texas

We made our way to Dallas for Emmy’s 1st birthday party this weekend and had dinner at Jin Korean BBQ. YUM!!

2018 | 060/365 | Jin Korean BBQ | Plano, Texas

[2018] 061/365: Korean BBQ

We usually do this at home so getting to do it, all-you-can-eat, is pretty great! We were so stuffed.

Right now, I’m watching Z Storm with the parents and June, along with Rizzo, Pluto, and Krypto while Sissy, BIL, Brudda, and Scruffy are downstairs with Rocky, Bruno, and Kato playing games.

I cannot wait to see little Emmy. We got here too late so we missed saying good night to her.

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.

2018 | 060/365 | Wingstop | Houston, Texas | Garlic Parmesan and Fries and Kindle

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!

Roll Me Into Bed For A Food Coma

by Leave a Comment

Jarro Cafe | Houston, Texas | Pastor Tacos

Scruffy came over with Luna this morning and after a few ball throws and work on the laptop, we headed to Jarro Cafe for the beloved tacos we’ve missed so much.

Freedom & Company | Houston, Texas

Afterwards, we headed over to Freedom & Company for a haircut. Go check her out! She’s pretty great and listens to your opinons.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas

Since Himalaya Restaruant was close by, we had to try it out – mainly because everyone says it’s the best!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Lamb Biryani

Lamb Biryani [tender pieces of lamb cooked in a magical blend of dry whole spices and then layered with fragrant Basmati rice. This is the Indo-Pakistani version of the Spanish Paella] | $12.92

This wasn’t up my alley. Scruffy liked it but I wasn’t a big fan.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Side Dishes

This side dish with a dipping sauce that Scruffy says is chutney was free. We didn’t really touch it.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Garlic Nan

Garlic Nan | $2.99

This is bomb. I wish it was as fluffy as the tandoori nan but it was still amazing mostly because of the garlic. YUM!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Pre-Set Lunch Special

Pre-Set Lunch Special Combo [delicious platter that changes daily: incles all of the following – tender boneless chicken curry, boneless lamb curry, grilled or dry appetizer, dal or vegetable (their choice), steamed basmati rice, and a fresh tandoori nan] | $13.75

This was my favourite. I liked the lamb curry, vegetable curry, rice and the nan. Other than that, I was meh about it.

I think Bombay Grill is still probably my favourite Indian food.

Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas

After being home for a while, we headed out to Kirby Ice House for Saleh’s early birthday celebration.

2018 | 054/365 | Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas | Frosted Rose and Beer

[2018] 054/365: Out After 9 PM

Scruffy and I are never out late anymore. Not too sure if it’s because we live in the suburbs or if we’re just both lazy and over it but I thought we should commemorate this. This frozen rose drink was bomb. I loved it but not so much the price.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas

They had two food trucks there but we ended up picking The Waffle Bus.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas | Chicken Thunder Fries

Chicken Thunder Fries [buttermilk fried chicken bites on top of seasoned waffle fries with spicy mayo and ancho chile honey butter] | $10

We got our usual and scarfed it down.

It was nice to see and meet other people, hang out and talk with them about things that mean nothing but we soon bid farewell since we still had to drive back and the pups were waiting for us.

Please roll me into bed now. I’m ready to be in a food coma after today’s foods.

So Much Food All The Time

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

Nadeen’s Baby Shower

by Leave a Comment

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.
