Phipps Feeding Fiasco

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.
 
 
 
 

We arrive and get [...]

The experience
When we left my parents’ house with the kids, I heard those words that make me nervous, “No nap, today.”  I had hoped to go to the Big D to eat dinner, but we decided that this is not the best decision in light of the possibilites of crankiness at the dinner table.  Instead, [...]

The experience
I have been looking for a Caribbean restaurant since we moved here from Nashville, but have not been to a single one since we moved here. Ogre remembered that there was one called Taste of the Islands in Plano so we thought this would be a great adventure for us.

The Experience
Solo night 3. I think we’re nearing 50% sans wife. Just when I think we can’t get any later a start than yesterday. No Dusty this time so, its just the three of us. Considering the time, I decide on two places very close to home. Pho Que Huong or Napoli’s. I let Mina decide. She sways [...]

The kids are 25% German and it must be in their blood to love sausage…
The experience
I had to smile a lot at lunch earlier today.  For some reason, this can give me quite the headache later in the day.   Unfortunately for me, or perhaps, the husband and kids, the headache started right as we pulled [...]

I’m a very excited to share with you one of our favorite restaruants in Plano.  It’ll be awhile before we return because of this whole blogging thing so I savored every moment…
The experience
There is one thing that Mina does not let us forget when we go to Sushi Awaji.  Her bento box.  This toy is [...]

The Experience
Day two and I was already going solo to dinner with the kids. The wife was working overnight so it fell to me to keep the “dream” alive. So my first thoughts were, “Since we won’t be going back for a year, where can I go that won’t irritate the wife?”
That made the choice [...]
