Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience The weather today was absolutely gorgeous.  I did not wake up until noon today (hey! I left work at 7am this morning) and was looking forward to enjoying the cool temperatures.  I googled patio restaurants dallas and happened upon Ozona Bar and Grill.  When I asked Ogre about it he kept saying that [...]

The experience Team Phipps ate together for lunch today since Mina didn’t have school.  We were a little worried about how we would swing the family meal today since Ogre and I have a date tonight with the Gipsy Kings.  Luckily, Mina is out of school today.  We decide on Chaat Cafe, a restaurant recommended [...]

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 [...]

The Experience We were actually off to dinner early today so we thought we’d head down to Ogre’s old stomping grounds.  As a bachelor he lived about a block off Greenville Avenue near the M streets.  I suggested either Simply Fondue or Terilli’s.  We went back and forth about this all the way down there.  [...]

The experience Today we planned to have dinner with one of my best friends and her family.  Unfortunately, one of them was sick, so we had to change plans.  I did not want to go to the restaurant we planned to go with them, so I looked on-line to find something for this evening.  I [...]

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 [...]

The experience The plan was perfect. Grace was working overnight at the hospital and we were trying to get more restaurants from Dallas into the mix. So not only would I add another Dallas restaurant, I would get some husband brownie points for delivery dinner to my overworked wife. So, first, me and the kids [...]

The experience I want to make dinner at home.  Yes, this going out business wears on me.  So, today we went out for lunch.  We may doing breakfast or lunch every weekend so that we can have dinner at home!  We give Mina the choice of burgers or Indian food.  She chooses burgers.  She tells [...]

The experience Mina chose pizza as the cuisine tonight.  We decided on Campisi’s, and while we typically go to the location in Plano, we drove to the original location in Dallas for the full experience.  Campisi’s Egyptian Restaurant still sits where it’s been since 1946.  The Egyptian Restaurant part of its name came from the restaurant that sat [...]

The experience I mentioned Razoo’s yesterday and I guess Ogre has been thinking about since because he brings it up at 5 o’clock.  Unfortunately, Benji is down for a nap.  He doesn’t wake up until 7pm.  We try to book it out the door and here comes Mina all decked out for dinner.     [...]
