Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience It was an easy choice today since we’d be right around the corner.  We decide on the very-well-known-to-be-kid-friendly The Purple Cow.  Benji and Ogre would be meeting us there.  Mina immediately commented on the train above and the decor behind the counter.  She also noticed the jukebox in the corner, but said she [...]

The experience Mina was starting Young Chef’s Academy today and I had to pick her up at 5 so it would be an early dinner. I would be out at Preston and Spring Creek, so I figured I’d find something there.  I didn’t bother to look before I left.  The kids and I would be [...]

The experience Ogre wanted to eat somewhere decidely more healthy than our usual fare.  He remembers about Cafe Express at Mockingbird Station.  We haven’t eaten here in years!  Sounds great to me so we pack up the kids and head down.  When we walk up, I’m excited to see that there are tons of families [...]

The experience I mentioned Razoo’s yesterday and I guess Ogre has been thinking about since because he brings it up at 5 o’clock.  Unfortunately, Benji is down for a nap.  He doesn’t wake up until 7pm.  We try to book it out the door and here comes Mina all decked out for dinner.     [...]

The experience After an exhausting afternoon taking an advantage of Texas Tax Free Holiday, we were off to dinner.  We decided on an old friend, May Dragon.  Dubbed the only Four Star Chinese Restaurant in Dallas.  They seated us promptly.  We are always concerned that one day this wonderful secret will be unearthed and we’ll [...]

I’m a very excited to share with you one of our favorite restaruants in Plano.  It’ll be awhile before we return because of this whole blogging thing so I savored every moment… The experience There is one thing that Mina does not let us forget when we go to Sushi Awaji.  Her bento box.  This [...]
