Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience Today we headed out for lunch and I gave Ogre three options, he headed to Jason’s Deli, which was actually the last restaurant of choice, but would still do.  We walked in and, once again, were lucky to beat the rush and ordered straight away.  Benji was happy to stand with us as [...]

The experience Last night’s storm made for a later morning for me this morning and, thus, later getting home from rounding.  I suggested we get a quick bite for lunch somewhere and Ogre did not want to waste a meal out so he turned it into our childsplate adventure for the day.  We decided on [...]

The experience It was a beautiful day so I thought we’d drive out to the lake for dinner tonight.  I’ve seen a billboard (see, they really do work!) on my drive up and down I-30 for Primo’s boasting their deck off the lake and offered up this choice for dinner, which was met with a [...]

The experience Today we decided to eat Indian food.  I know, JC’s Burger’s House does not sound like and Indian restaurant.  That’s because it’s not.  The restaurant we planned to go to was closed.  We find it random, but they are closed every Wednesday.  We asked Mina if she’d rather have burgers or pizza and [...]

The experience Well, Mina was accepted to the private school we applied for so we thought we’d reward her endurance of the testing and interviewing (sheesh!) with a special day.  We’d be going to a movie and then eating at the restaurant of her choice.  Of course she’s not going to choose a restaurant 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 [...]

The experience It was a beautiful day and a beautiful night so Ogre wanted to eat out by the lake in Rockwall.  Sounded like a plan.  We knew there were several restaurants out there, so we just headed out there with reckless abandon.  We ended up going to Agave, one of the first places we [...]

The experience Today is a busy day for Mina.  About the time I picked her up from her after school activity, Ogre called to say that he was on his way home from Irving right at rush hour.  His initial plan was to meet us somewhere.  I told him that when I left Lala’s house, [...]

The experience It is becoming a regular occurrence for me to have evening admissions.  I did not want the kids out too late or the family eating late, so I had them come out to meet me in Rowlett.  We decided we’d eat at the ever elusive Fritzl’s.  We have tried to eat here at [...]

SORRY THIS RESTAURANT IS NOW CLOSED!!   The experience Today was a busy day for us.  Ogre and I were going to an engagement party for our dear friends, Carolyn and Brian.  Oma and Grandpoo were coming over to babysit the kids while we had some fun interacting with kids our own age.  We would be [...]
