Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
Well, my initial plans to go to Nordstrom’s N Bistro were quickly thwarted when Mina decided she wanted, yet again, First Chinese BBQ.  Not obvious to her, we could not eat there.  I’d already planned to take the childsplate meal on my shoulders, so I told her we could eat at PF Chang’s instead.  [...]

The experience
Today is Mina’s music class and she eats dinner with Grandpoo and Oma.  That left the rest of Team Phipps to fend for dinner our own.  We discussed some options, but wanted to stay close so that we could meet Mina at home when class was over. Ogre joked about Mr. Wok Asian Bistro, which [...]

The experience
We had family picture night at Mina’s school so we headed off in search of a new fiasco right afterwards. Mommy was suffering a migraine once more so I was looking for somewhere close.  Mina asked about Pizza then changed her mind to Chinese.  I was suggesting one nearby when Grace recalled we had [...]

The experience
Ahh, another night at the hospital for me tonight, which meant that we’d have to eat dinner early so I could eat dinner with my little family.  I gave Ogre the choice of BBQ or Asian food, he chose Asian Food.  He picked a restaurant close to our house so that we could all [...]

The experience
We tried to eat at this restaurant a few weeks ago, but it is closed on Monday and Tuesday evenings.  That day, we ended up at Canton Chinese restaurant across the way.  Tonight, Mina would missing because of her music class at Grandpoo and Oma’s church, so we thought we head out to Jeng [...]

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
Well, my original plans for Chinese went out the window when we drove up to Jeng Chi and found it closed for the evening.  I knew it was closed one day of the week and of course it had to be this one.  There are plenty of other choices for Asian food, and particularly, [...]

The experience
Ogre has some good memories of a little Chinese restaurant where he got Mushi Pork as a kid.  He decided this would be fun for us to eat at for dinner tonight.  Mina had music class with Oma and Grandpoo and honestly had already eaten at McDonald’s.  We considered eating without her, but thought she [...]

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 [...]
