Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
Well, it’s another night for me at the hospital so Team Phipps had to plan accordingly.  I picked up Mina from school and Ogre drove to the restaurant with Benji.  We decided on Snuffers, which would be a short drive to work for me after dinner.  Mina asked me what type of food we [...]

The experience
It’s another crazy day for the Phipps family.  We had Mina’s birthday party this afternoon.  When it came time for dinner, Dusty wanted to join us and recommended Mexican food.  We listed some off that we could eat at, but decided that we would do Gloria’s even though it is really El Salvadorian food.  Mina had [...]

The experience
5 years ago today, the sweetest and cutest little girl was born into the Phipps family, we named her Mina.  We celebrated this day by trying to make it as special as possible…without making a trip to Chuck E. Cheese.  That meant starting the day at the Original Pancake House (where service was not that bad, [...]

The experience
Yesterday, prior to our trip to Jasmine, Mina said she wanted to go to Sushi Awaji.  Seeing how that it is against the rules to go back a second time we had to say no.  She was devestated so we promised we would go this evening. Sometime this morning, Grace had apparently waken me [...]

The experience
First off, that’s their catch phrase, not mine.  I thought it was a little weird, but I think it’s true.  In a good way.  You’ll see.  But back to the task at hand.  We decided that it had been awhile since we’ve had Chinese Food.  We decided to use another coupon from the “Best [...]

The experience
Sometimes I don’t even know what day it is!  For most of the day I thought it was Wednesday, when Mina goes to Music Class with her grandparents.  In my head, I was considering dinner based on that and the fact that I’d be working tonight.  Late enough, though, that I could still go [...]

The experience
Mommy, M.D. was working an overnight shift at the hospital again and I had a Tom Petty concert to attend so, dinner was early this evening  (Oma and Grandpoo were babysitting) .  That also meant staying in the area.  Grace suggested Pho Que Huong before she left for work.  Sounds like a plan.

We arrived and the [...]

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 have to [...]

The experience
Benjamin did not wake up until 11 am this morning!  So much for a true breakfast.  Mina’s favorite “going out” meal is breakfast.  Brunch is the non-early-riser’s breakfast or for the family that can’t decide on going out for lunch or breakfast, in my unwanted opinion.  On our way to “brunch,” Ogre mentioned that he [...]
