Phipps Feeding Fiasco

…or so it seemed having had such bland, unimpressive food for days on end. We had to eat breakfast at the buffet at the resort and after a grueling trip to the airport from our resort, we settled into the food court at the Punta Cana airport.  My initial plan was to eat at an [...]

Las Olas: “Beach Snack Bar” This is where we ate lunch at EVERY DAY.  It is also a buffet.  During off hours, it’s the only place to get food.  They claim to be open from 10am – 6pm.  Of course, when we ate here on Sunday, they didn’t put hot food out until 12pm, so [...]

For the next few posts, I’m going to flush the format a little.  We vacationed and attended a wedding in the Dominican Republic from May 13-18th.  We stayed at the Gran Bahia Prinicipe Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Bouganvilla: “Restaurant International Buffet” We ate here for dinner the first night because we arrived too [...]

The experience I’m writing this over a week after actually going there, so my recollection of the experience is not going to go so well.  I know that Ogre and Mina love this place and in the past, I’ve been a little bit “iffy” about reviewing it for childsplate.  Afterall, it’s Hooters.  That just doesn’t [...]

The experience Our initial plan was to head to Greek Isle so Ogre could redeem himself somewhat for the Mediterranean Cafe and Bakery fiasco the other day.  His other idea was to have sushi.  When we arrived at the restaurant, he was surprised to find that Nakamoto was right next door, a sushi joint he [...]

The experience We we looking for a quick meal this day and I had a sudden craving for a hot dog.  I suggested Wienerschnitzel.  Grace had already eaten but she could have ice cream.  The kids approved of the choice, so off we went.  We pulled up and noticed the Zoo Cuts next door.  Grace [...]

The experience Today, the plan was for Ogre and I to drive separately to dinner as Grandpoo and Oma would be joining us to celebrate Grandpoo’s birthday and then everyone except Benji and me were going to see the new Star Trek movie at the IMAX theater in Mesquite.  Well, Benji was out as he [...]

The experience Well, I told Ogre I wanted Greek food because I was kind of craving a soup one of our readers has mentioned (I think it’s like  a lemon chicken soup).  I did not necessarily tell Ogre why I wanted Greek food.  Anyway, yesterday, he saw a new Mediterranean place in the Shire and [...]

The experience Today we headed out for lunch and I gave Ogre three options, he headed to Jason’s Deli, which was actually the last restaurant of choice, but would still do.  We walked in and, once again, were lucky to beat the rush and ordered straight away.  Benji was happy to stand with us as [...]

The experience Reading a few threads on the mommy forum I’m part of made me want Mexican food for dinner tonight.  We’ve actually been to Casa Milagro once before with a group of friends, I remembered that it wasn’t bad, so we thought we’d head there tonight for dinnner.  We picked up Benji from Lala’s [...]
