Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
So it was another evening solo with the kids for dinner.  The wife would be eating prime steak at Three Forks.  I figured we’d stay close and make it quick.  We are rapidly running out of those kind of choices.  The last few months of this are going to be difficult.  In any event, [...]

The experience
Today both Ogre and I were home this morning with Benji, I asked Ogre if wanted to get something to eat. Now, when I say that I want something to eat anytime before noon, it usually means I want breakfast.  Options are limited if we’re going to fulfill childsplate requirements, but I thought that a [...]

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
It’s Day 2 of our “Great Wolf Adventure.”  Mina woke up at around 7am.  Benji did not wake up until, oh, 9am.  So, she and Papa went to get a breakfast snack.  Once, all of Team Phipps was up and at ‘em, we headed to the breakfast  buffet at the Loose Moose Cottage.  We [...]

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
I forgot that Ogre and Mina just had Mediterranean food last night and suggested Ali Baba, a restaurant Ogre has been wanting to try for months now.  Apparently, Ogre forgot also as he happily agreed.  Our other child, Benji, was still at Lala’s house.  Last night, he fell asleep before Ogre picked him up [...]

The experience
So obviously today would be a crazy busy day.  Dr. Mom was working I need to bake cookies and finish up last minute errands with the kids.  There was a chance that Grace would be able to meet us for lunch. That was the plan as Oma and Grandpoo were coming over later to [...]

The experience
Grace was working late again this morning, so she advised I take the kids to breakfast if we were to do anything today.  So, one I got the kids ready we headed out with no place in mind.  I’m not really a breakfast fan so my knowledge of breakfast restaurants is limited.  Mina wanted [...]

The experience
Perhaps we should name this the “Is Benji going to fall asleep on the way to the restaurant blog.”  Today, the answer was yes, again.  Ogre and I chose to go to Akbar Indian Restaurant in Plano so that we could use our recently purchased Entertainment Passbook -afterall, I forgot to use it yesterday [...]

The experience
It’s another night working at the hospital for me, so we had to hit a restaurant in West Plano.  Mina was not with us tonight as she had a prior committment tonight -music class with Oma and Grandpoo.  After some discussion adhead of time, we chose Roti Grill.  Benjamin and I drove together from [...]
