Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
Today we decided we’d eat Asian food.  It was either a Korean place we hadn’t eaten at before or sushi place we hadn’t eaten at before.  Mina picked sushi.  I knew she would.  We went to Avocado California Roll and Sushi.  Before we left, we had to pack up the sushi playset and Mina [...]

The experience
So tonight, Team Phipps was not very coordinated.  Everyone was here or there and I could not get in touch with Ogre to develop a dinner plan.  I ended up getting called for an admission at a hospital and since I couldn’t get a hold of Ogre, I dragged Mina with me to the [...]

The experience
Dr. Mom was very busy at work today so didn’t get in until late.  Mina and I had already baked and delivered the rest of her Sweet Mina pies which I am sure made Grace happy.  If you read the Paesano’s fiasco, you’ll see the time the pies have eaten up.  Benji was still [...]

The experience
We decided to try and knock out dinner early tonight.  I wanted to eat pie at home for dessert tonight.  So when Grace got home we researched a few places nearby that might be healthy.  We looked around Firewheel and found Houlihan’s.  We decided it was a bit pricey for the evening so we [...]

The experience
Ogre had a business meeting on the other side of town and called me to suggest that we meet up in Addison for an early dinner.  Sounded great to me.  Of course, as I was leaving, I was paged about an admission, which delayed me about 20 minutes.  No problem, Ogre said he’d be [...]

The experience
Today I got a flyer with a coupon in the mail for Christina’s Mexican Restaurant.  Hmmm, after spending two nights in a row at the hospital and having had a well-deserved massage today, I thought margaritas sounded like a great plan to accompany dinner.  I made sure to tell Ogre of my dinner intent [...]

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
Today was a bit of a rough day for me and I didn’t have time for lunch.  By the time I was headed home it was already 3 o’clock, so against any sane judgment, I decided to just wait until dinner to eat anything at all.  Of course, Ogre was not as game.  He [...]

The experience
Dr. Mom was away again this evening, so after a late nap for Benji, it was off to dinner. Dusty was joining us and he was in luck; we were going for burgers at Scotty P’s at Firewheel. Grace mentioned we should try a low-key burger joint or two so now was as good [...]

The experience
If any of you have children who are into Dora the Explorer, then you will know about “El Dia Especial.”  Well, today is Mina’s El Dia Especial; she had a great week at school, ate her veggies well all week, and she’s been doing a great job practicing her reading.  We planned to surprise her [...]
