Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
Well, I guess we haven’t been to every restaurant along the I-75 corridor yet.  Ogre picked the kids and me up from my parents house where we were camped out all afternoon and we headed out, again, without a plan.  I’d actually suggested we go to Roma’s as we’d planned to yesterday.  But somehow [...]

The experience
Today we needed to go out to eat and go to Wal-Mart for groceries.  Our plan was to eat at Roma’s (I was in the mood for pizza).  As has happened so many times in the past when we actually have a game plan for dinner, we arrived at the restaurant to find it [...]

The experience
We were in the car and driving down the road before we even had an inkling of where to eat dinner tonight.  This whole bit is getting tougher by the day and now with New Year’s Resolutions of healthy eating and dieting, we’ve made things even more difficult.  I threw out a couple of [...]

The experience
Grace was working late this evening, so I went to pick up Mina from school.  It was already getting late and Grace said she’d be a the hospital for another hour.  So I was going to head out with the kids alone.  After having nixed a few ideas of Mina’s due to the rules, [...]

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
Tonight Mina was going to be part of Las Posadas at church.  She was going to be playing the bells and singing Joy To The World.  She’d be going to church with Oma and Grandpoo for some time practicing. We panned to eat somewhere all together after.  Mina and Oma did an excellent job. [...]

The experience
On one of my few mornings off with much to do the rest of the day, Ogre and I decided to go on a breakfast date…with Benji.  Aren’t I a lucky lady??!  Unfortunately, these last minute decisions are difficult with time running thin so we decided to head to a new Panera we saw when [...]

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
Mina’s cooking classes are coming to an end and we have been slowly working our way through the restaurants at Lakeside Market Center.  We have had some great experiences here and we looked forward to another good meal.  Tonight it would be Sea Breeze Fish Market and Grill.  Mina and I headed over there [...]

The experience
Team Phipps waited for me to get in the game after a morning of rounding a the hospital, which meant we’d be having a slightly late lunch.  We also needed to get some Christmas shopping in so we decided to stay in Plano and eat at Ojeda’s.  Oma and Grandpoo are over tonight for [...]
