Colsen Loves Spring Rolls

March 15, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I met up for lunch with Ann and Colsen at Pho Saigon. Yummy eggrolls and vermicelli.

[2018] 074/365: I Love Spring Rolls!

Colsen has grown SO much! He is a chunk. He seems to be in the grabbing phase and really tried hard to grab that spring roll. I cannot wait to see him when he’s more animated.

I stopped by Pet Supplies Plus to see what they have. They just opened and it was huge! I loved that they have some baked goodies where you can buy as much as you want (or as little). Scruffy came over with Luna so her along with Rizzo and Rocky seem to love everything so far!!

We got a to-go order from Thai Cottage. The usual wings were shared with the others. The curry noodles, on the other hand, will be a couple more meals until I’ll be able to finish. I love having leftovers!

Now, it’s Chinese soap operas and then early bedtime. Bye!

Saigon Pho and Grill Vietnamese Noodle House | Sugar Land, Texas | Crawfish

Crawfish | $8.99

Crawfish at Saigon Pho and Grill Vietnamese Noodle House while Scruffy got pho for lunch. It was cooked to perfection, flavour was great, but the size wasn’t amazing, especially for that price. Sigh, sucks. I am excited about crawfish season. Cheap, big, and DELICIOUS!

Since one pound wasn’t anything, we went to OG Tea for some Hazelnut Milk Tea and Strawberry Banana Smoothie. YUM! The smoothie surpassed my expectations.

I especially loved the covers on the drinks. Scruffy calls me a Panda and it was so cute that on mine, there’s a panda and a pup = RIzzo and I!

And Scruffy had a panda and a boy hugging it = Scruffy hugging me. hehe

Scruffy ordered some bahn mis for Ashy and Korman and I went for popcorn chicken and fries with ranch. Everything was a bit too sweet but fried to perfection. I’m not too certain if I’d get this again. Maybe when I’m extremely hungry and it’s the only thing.

Korman cooked us all dinner and Rami and Caitlin came over with Peyton. The dinner was delicious and it was great to finally see the little baby since the end of December. It has been a long while. She’s grown so much!

Nadeen’s Baby Shower

February 18, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

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

My Chinese New Year loot! I haven’t opened them yet though.

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.

Scruffy went home while I took a nap with Luna and Rizzo before following suit and went over to his house with the pups.

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.

Eating Out Alone

[2018] 043/365: Eating Out Alone

Guys, I did it again! I went out and ate at a restaurant all by myself. The first time I did it was a La Madeline which I actually blogged about!It was two years ago and I still remember that experience.

I was busy running errands all day and decided to grab some food before my appointment at the Subaru Dealership. I chose Pho Tau Bay Vietnamese Restaurant. It was a completely different experience than La Madeline. Here, I didn’t hide behind a book. People were not on their laptops or studying. Here, everyone was eating and talking with their mates.

I was a little weary when I walked in but I persevered and actually enjoyed my meal by myself, without distractions. I saw a guy from Acura eating by his lonesome as well and we exchanged awkward glances. haha

I will say that this isn’t the best pho place, the broth was good but the meat was not up to par nor was the eggrolls. The price was too high for the amount of food and there was a lot of miscommunications.

I was happy to get through four and a half of my chapters before my car was ready to go. Is it weird that I actually like waiting at the dealership so that I can read? Ever since I got a Kindle, life has been great being able to pull it out whenever I want. #thanksboyfriend

Parents, Dogs, And Always Food

2018 | 013/365 | Pho Saigon | Katy, Texas | Vermicelli with Beef and Egg Roll

Vermicelli with char-grilled lemon grass sliced beef & fried egg roll | $7.95

[2018] 013/265: Time with Parents

I had lunch with just my parents today. Pho, my choice! I got vermicelli though. Equally delicious.

Scruffy’s grandparents were going over to his house for dinner. When I showed up I was excited to see that it was kabobs! Mmmm … yum! I was so excited when Ashy said I could take some home. Lunch for tomorrow! Eeeep!

I agreed to babysit Luna. She’s been a handful so far since there are a total of five dogs in the house but I handed her this gingerbread toy of Rizzo’s and she fell in love.

I had to hide it so that she’d stop squeaking the toy and that she’ll go to bed. She’s gone to sleep now. Sweet girl. They are so cute together.
