Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
You know I had that idea to go to Steak and Shake for a quick dinner yesterday and ended up 30 miles away from home.  I suggested it again today.  Actually, let me back track.  As you know, Mina spends Wednesday evenings with her grandparents, who usually pick her up from school.  Benji started [...]

The experience
We headed out to dinner tonight without a good plan so I threw out some suggestions to Ogre as we drove off.  I could not tell which restaurant he was headed to until we were in West Plano and he clued me in, mainly because he was lost.  I told him we were on [...]

The experience
Today is Lala and Lolo’s anniversary and I managed to invite myself to their going out to dinner plans.  Mom kept saying we were eating at Best Buy.  They could not remember the name of the restaurant, but I was able to figure out what they were talking about and able to relay it [...]

The experience
After Ogre came back empty handed after going to pick up Mina, we remembered that it was Wednesday, which is the evening she spends with Grandpoo and Oma.  Now, we need to rush a little bit to get dinner in before she got home.  Ogre wanted to get a sandwich.  I normally do not [...]

The experience
Today I had a day off with no commitments, appointments or anything else that I had to do, so I thought we should go out to breakfast.  Unfortunately, pickings are getting VERY slim for breakfast choices that we haven’t eaten at already this year!  The only restaurant that I could think of that serves [...]

The experience
Another day, another restaurant.  I actually suggested eating at the Pho restaurant on Spring Creek tonight.  Well, turns out there is no Pho restaurant in Spring Creek (near 75).  Old sign, I guess.  Our back up plan was go to TGI Friday’s.  I was actually thinking about the one in Firewheel, but then remembered [...]

The experience
Ogre and I decided to go out to lunch with Benji today.  My parents were unavailable to babysit him today and I returned from rounding in time to grab lunch with the boys. I can’t go too far, and the pickings are getting slim in the Plano area, but we recalled that we had [...]

The experience
Benji and Mina spent the day with Lala and Lolo since we didn’t want to make Mina go to school after arriving so late last night.  They ended up going to the mall and when they got back, Benji had fallen asleep so I took Mina and picked up Ogre for dinner.  We were [...]

The experience
Again, this is being written about a week out, so I cannot remember details about dinner.  I do know that we decided to eat at Greek Islesin pursuit of the lemon soup, which escaped us when we ate at Mediterranean Cafe and Bakery.  We were seated right away and the restaurant was not 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 seem [...]
