The Dills’ Delightful Visit
Posted on October 5, 2011 by Ching under Food and Drink.
The Dills were in town over the weekend. They came over on Monday night for dinner and drinks. Brian made this “Dilly Delight” dip in their honor. We thought it was fitting. Anyway, we sent some home with them.
We got dinner started late so we munched on some cheese, crackers and dip while we waited. Brian made chicken and rice pilaf. It was yummy. I ate way too much.
I mixed some pineapple juice and 90 proof coconut rum in a pitcher. Jay, Becca and I drank pretty much all of it. Jay drank some beer too. I think eating way too much at dinner and the pineapple concoction almost made me pass out. I propped my feet up on the hassock when we were hanging outside on the patio, though. The weather was perfect. They were drinking and smoking cigars. I was mostly just trying to keep from falling into a food coma. LOL.
Thanks for the visit, Jay and Becca! We really enjoyed catching up! Can’t wait until you guys are back for good. We miss you!

Brian and I buy suka like we buy wine: several bottles at a time. Brian absolutely loves Datu Puti. A bottle doesn’t last very long in our household.

Brian at Beau Monde
Posted on May 1, 2011 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian took me to my waxing appointment at Beau Monde the other day. It worked out because then we were able to eat lunch at Five Guys.
They’ve had the location at Comotara for a while now. We’ve never been until recently because Brian and I don’t really go out of our way to eat burgers. Well, unless Brian decides that he has a Freddy’s craving which I will cave into on occasion. So it worked out that Five Guys is conveniently located next to Beau Monde. We got to try it finally.
I have to say, this was better than the burger we had at the Five Guys at the Galleria Mall in Dallas. I’m not sure if we thought it was better because we were starving or they just don’t make good food at malls. LOL.
The staff at this Five Guys are the best, too. I think the highlight of the day was when they let me video tape them singing along to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Except, I’m a dingbat and didn’t get it saved. I thought I hit the button, but it didn’t register my touch so the whole performance didn’t get recorded. It’s a shame because I think it would have gone viral, too. LOL. I guess we’ll just have to try again next time.

Family Dinner at Carrabba’s
Posted on December 5, 2010 by Ching under Family, Food and Drink.
You already saw the food photos at FOODIES, but now here are the people photos. The first one is of Donna and David, followed by Kim’s parents Kathy and Ken. Then Chris Feifel who picked up the dinner tab that night. 🙂
Kathy’s Cannelloni got burnt so they had to remake it. Brian gave our server a hard time by telling him that Ken and Kathy came call the way from Canada to eat at Carrabba’s and we didn’t want their first Carrabba’s experience to be less than stellar. Of course, Ken and Kathy came to be with family. Dinner at Carrabba’s was just a bonus.
Not only did they comp the Cannelloni, but they also gave us a couple of things of the delicious apple dessert to share. I just love, love, love Carrabba’s! The food is always great and they always take care of you.
P.S. My phone was out of battery so we had to take photos using David’s Blackberry. Thank you so much for taking photos and sending them to me!
P.P.S. Carrabba’s blackberry sangria is probably the only sangria that’s better than mine. You’ll have to try it next time you’re there, if you haven’t tried it already. It’s simply delicious!
