Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience So, I’m still not feeling 100% and really only wanting to eat things like soup or mild stuff like that.  We had to wait on Mina to come from choir class, which always makes Wednesdays a late night out eating.  I decided that I’d go for some Tom Kha and since we needed [...]

The experience I wasn’t really in the mood to go out to eat this evening an Grace was just well enough to tag along.  It was already getting late and we still had to pick up Benji who still wasn’t eating.  We opted to grab something nearby and I had just the place in mind; [...]

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 [...]

The experience This morning, Mina took some standardized test as a prerequisite for a school we’re considering putting her in for the next school year, for her effort and for being good at school last week, the plan was to take her to Chuck E. Cheese tonight.  I think I once vowed on here that [...]

The experience The Benji tales just don’t stop.  This morning we ended up in the Emergency Room because he was having such severe abdominal pain, and, I, being a pediatrician had to make sure he didn’t have a telescoping intestinal problem.  Turns out he didn’t, but he was still really out of it the whole [...]

The experience Since Ogre and I ate lunch ridiculously late today, we were not really in the mood to eat until later in the evening.  We also had to wait for Mina to come home from church.  That put us out at nearly 8 o’clock for dinner.  We decided that something light and quick would be in order [...]

The experience Ogre and I actually planned ahead today for dinner since we had a limited amount of time between the end of Mina’s class and an open house we needed to be at.  We decided it would be easiest to drive in one car, which meant I’d have to pick up Ogre from the [...]

The experience For some reason I was craving Chinese today.  Too bad we’ve already hit all my favorite Chinese restaurants.  I’d have to be more adventuresome today, but hey, isn’t that the point of the blog??!  I googled “Best Chinese restaurant Plano.”  I came up with some web review site that pointed me to Rice [...]

The experience Tonight I had an overnight at the hospital so like every other time this happens, we have to eat early so that I can get to my shift on time.  I left my parents’ house at 5:30 realizing that it’s 5:30 and that there’s traffic.  I called Ogre, at his request, when we [...]

The experience As Mina and I were headed home to pick up Ogre for dinner, I got paged by the hospital.  Looked like I’d be doing another admission tonight.  Unfortunately, that meant a quicker, closer dinner than what I had planned.  I gave Ogre some choices and we headed in that direction.  As we neared [...]
