Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
We asked the kids what kind of food they’d like to eat tonight and, of course, it was pizza.  Ogre lamented how childsplate made it so that we could not eat a “good” pizza place because we’d eaten at all the good ones.  I countered that wasn’t it the point to try other pizza [...]

The experience
We’ve tried to eat at Roma’s a few times and it always seems to be on a Sunday, when they are closed.  Today when we were trying to decide where to eat, I thought, let’s go to Roma’s and get that out of the way!  Ogre picked me and the kids up from Lolo [...]

The experience
I think that initially Dusty was going to join us for dinner, which rules out anything ethnic or out of the ordinary.  Typically, dinner with Dusty means burgers, Mexican or Pizza.  Ogre was already researching a Pizza joint when Dusty decided he wouldn’t join us for dinner after all.  We decided to go to [...]

The experience
 Ogre and one of my best friend’s husbands have been working together and although we’d hope it would mean that my friend and I would also get to spend more time together, it hasn’t really worked out that way.  While chatting on the phone with her (while my husband was at their house and [...]

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
Did you notice that it’s freezing outside??  We decided we’d better stay close and avoid the highway for dinner tonight.  I had Ogre pick up the kids and me from Lala’s house where we were camped out for the afternoon because I did not want to have to load them up by myself in [...]

The experience
Ogre was complaining to me that he was hungry at 4:45 when we were checking out at Wal-Mart.  At 4:45 we headed to dinner, but first we had to pick up Mina at school, then we had to get the camera from home, and next it was to Lolo’s house to pick up Benji.  We [...]

The experience
I had another early evening admission tonight which meant a late dinner for the family.  I came home and immediately suggested Grimaldi’s so we could get moving.  Earlier today, Mina wanted to eat at California Pizza Kitchen, but we nixed that because we did not want to interact with the Black Friday Shoppers.  Dusty decided [...]

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
Well, Ogre actually wanted to try Brio’stoday in Allen, but after looking at the website (are you proud?  we actually did some research!) I was a little scared off by the prices for a regular old Wednesday night.  I suggested Carrabba’s instead.  I did not see that Ogre had switched over to the Carrabba’s [...]
