Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
It’s another busy night for Team Phipps.  Mina was at choir practice with Oma and Grandpoo and I had to be at the hospital by seven.  Mina would be home around that time, so the Ogre, Benji and I needed to eat early and get moving.  We discussed earlier today that we would go [...]

The experience
It’s Halloween today and this is a BIG deal at Casa Phipps.  Knowing that we’d be making dinner at home created a do or die situation for breakfast or lunch.  Seeing how I would be rounding this morning, I was out for breakfast for sure, so we decided to try and do lunch with Benji.  Fortunately, I was able to round [...]

The experience
We stayed at The Woodlands overnight before we would head to the Texas Renaissance Festival. Not wanting to feel rushed about needing to head to a reviewable restaurant for dinner today, we decided to go somewhere for breakfast to write about.  Ogre did some online research before we left and found the Black Walnut Cafe, [...]

The experience
Obviously, this was Mina’s weekend.  There are three places that Mina ever wants to go to for breakfast: the “Pancake House” (Original Pancake House), the “waffle place” (Waffle House), and the “Guava Cheese Bread place” (that’s where we went today: La Duni).  It was easy enough enough since we’d be spending the day at [...]

The experience
Ogre and I decided to effectively communicate so we didn’t have a breakfast fiasco like yesterday.  I told him I would get home from rounding and we could eat breakfast.  There was a slight wrench in the plans because I’d have to go to the hospital after brunch.  We planned to stay close to [...]

The experience
Dusty suggested going to Poor Richard’s Cafe for breakfast yesterday and when I asked him if it was good and did he liked it, he shrugged and said “It’s not that great.” Uh, okay. Why would we go there then? Instead of responding with that smart remark, Ogre suggested we try [...]

The experience
Today we were taking a day trip to Hillsboro to experience Middlefaire.  We thought we’d stop for breakfast somewhere that was right off the highway and on our way.  Cafe Brazil would fit the bill perfectly.  We were concerned that it would be packed because it was a Saturday morning at peak brunch hours, [...]

The experience
Tonight I’m working again!  We thought we’d hit a brunch spot so I can participate in our daily grind.  We decide to go to Alo, a place we discovered last Mother’s Day.  On Mother’s Day, we wanted to go to La Duni (my absolute FAVORITE brunch spot), but realized that it was reservation only and that they only had [...]

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 winging [...]

The experience
I’m working again tonight, and not wanting to miss a Phipps Fiasco meal, we head out for brunch.  Mina’s favorite place is The Original Pancake House.  I don’t actually know where the original The Original Pancake House is, I know it’s not the one in Plano, but it’s really close to where we live, [...]
