Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
Wow!  The weather out there is pretty bad. My initial plans for some tasty beverages on my only night off in two weeks went quickly out the window into this freezing wintery night.  Instead, Ogre informed me we would be doing Chinese BBQ…with Grandpoo and Oma.  Hmmmm.  Chinese BBQ?  We can’t eat at First [...]

The experience
We were at Grace’s parents visiting with family when we decided we would make another attempt at eating fondue which I suggested the other day.  It was already 6:00 PM so we got moving lest we get home at midnight.  We opted to go the The Melting Pot in Addison.  We’d been here once before [...]

The experience
Ugh!  I’m a day behind on these blog posts; hopefully, I’ll get caught up today!  Last night, I thought I’d be going back up to the hospital for an admission, so we wanted to stay close and NOT do fondue like Ogre wanted to do.  Italian sounded good and we’d talked for some time [...]

The experience
On my way home today, I noticed the sign by Pappasito’s that said Fajita’s for Two for 16.95.  Wednesday.  After 5pm.  Hey! That’s tonight!!  I LOVE the beef fajitas at Pappasito’s and since I had not very good fajitas last night, I was now CRAVING beef fajitas.  I was sure Ogre would have no problems [...]

The experience
The day started off very early for the Phipps household.  Normally, on the weekends, Mina might get up around 8:30 and Benji will sleep unti at least 9 o’clock.  I had to round this morning, but since I didn’t have to fight traffic, I thought I would sleep a few minutes later than normal.  [...]

The experience
So I’ve been seeing this place off the highway since as long as I can remember. My parents really never ate Indian food, so there was good reason we never went as a kid. I can’t say why I haven’t tried it since then. But since we started this, I’ve been talking [...]

The experience
I know, I know, this week we’ve been a little late on our posts.  This time it was for good reason, we were taking a let’s beat the winter blues vacation given to us by Santa Claus!  We were…Goin’ to the Lodge…Great Wolf Lodge…Okay, enough cheesiness (I think I’m about to embark on some [...]

The experience
I had to drive to Duncanville mid afternoon so I would be hitting downtown right a 5.  Seeing as I would be stuck in traffic for some time we opted to meet halfway.  After several phone calls we decided we would try to go to The Clay Pit on Beltline in Addison.  As it [...]

The experience
We headed out with no destination again tonight.  I am working downtown this week, which means I leave for work at 6:15, which means I like to get to bed early, which means we have to eat dinner early or quickly, preferably both.  Well, we didn’t head out of the house until 6:30 and [...]

The experience
Tonight, Dr. Mom would be working and some good friends were up from Austin for New Years.  They had made plans to go to Cafe Izmir at 8PM.  I figured I would try to make it but wasn’t sure how Benji would do. We tossed around some ideas and decided I would take Mina and leave [...]
