Phipps Feeding Fiasco

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 planned an excursion today at Fair Park, so we were deciding to either go to La Duni or to Dream Cafe.  We have some friends in town (you met them at Cafe Izmir the other night) and there was a chance that they might meet us for brunch -except that when we called [...]

The experience
I have a thing against eating sandwiches at any time other than at lunch.  So, if we are ever going to blog about a sandwich joint, we’d have to do it at lunch.  Today was that day.  Actually, we had a few other choices we considered including Freebirds, which I suspect Ogre was secretly [...]

The experience
Did you notice that it’s freezing outside??  We decided we’d better stay close and avoid the highway for dinner tonight.  I had Ogre pick up the kids and me from Lala’s house where we were camped out for the afternoon because I did not want to have to load them up by myself in [...]

The experience
Ogre was complaining to me that he was hungry at 4:45 when we were checking out at Wal-Mart.  At 4:45 we headed to dinner, but first we had to pick up Mina at school, then we had to get the camera from home, and next it was to Lolo’s house to pick up Benji.  We [...]

The experience
After I rounded this morning, Ogre called me to ask about lunch with the kids.  I was actually on my way to see my business partner to drop off Ogre’s gift to her husband.  We decided it’d be best to meet for lunch in Dallas so I’d have time to visit while they drove [...]

The experience
So today was Thanksgiving, and I did a bit of research yesterday and only found some high end non-chain restaurants open.  I did see Humperdink’s was open but didn’t settle on anything.  We thought we might be able to pull of breakfast, but Dr. Mom was working and the kids woke up late so [...]

The experience
Dr. Mom was very busy at work today so didn’t get in until late.  Mina and I had already baked and delivered the rest of her Sweet Mina pies which I am sure made Grace happy.  If you read the Paesano’s fiasco, you’ll see the time the pies have eaten up.  Benji was still [...]

The experience
Today I got a flyer with a coupon in the mail for Christina’s Mexican Restaurant.  Hmmm, after spending two nights in a row at the hospital and having had a well-deserved massage today, I thought margaritas sounded like a great plan to accompany dinner.  I made sure to tell Ogre of my dinner intent [...]

The experience
Tonight Mina was at choir practice with Oma and Grace had come down with a headache, so when Benji awoke from his nap we quickly packed up without a plan to go eat before we had to be back to meet Oma and Grandpoo back at the house.  Grace made a few suggestions nearby [...]
