Fish Fry Fail

If I don't make dinner, we will typically find a seafood restaurant to try for dinner on Friday's during Lent.  We think back to the days in Pittsburgh and remember the Economy Fire Hall fish fry's.  There has to be something like that here in Texas right?   Usually we don't know or see any places hosting a fish fry, but this past week we found a church here in Katy that advertised one.

Why not try it out?

Amanda arrived home from work and we did what any normal young couple in their 30's would do on a Friday night... we headed to the church fish fry for a 5:30 dinner!

Tapas on the Trails

We love indulging in restaurants on random weekends and prefer to stay clear of places on Valentine's Day due to the crowds and sometimes subpar service and inflated prices.

Of course, I am quite a sap therefore I couldn't just ignore a holiday designed to celebrate LOVE!  I found that the Houston Arboretum was offering a special event called "Tapas on the Trails."  It included a stroll through the woods with 5 different stops; each with a unique course and wine pairing.

While living in Chicago, one of our favorite things to do was to try new restaurants.  We really enjoyed the "food scene" in the area and learned a lot about different types of food, preparation and style.  We followed chef's as they opened new places and also attended food events such as BaconFest.  This was one of our favorite things to do.  When we decided to leave Chicago for Houston, we knew it would be a big change in our dining options.  

Barnaby's

While Amanda and I were sitting around the house the other day we realized the house was very quiet.  We talked about how our lives boring and in need of some excitement.  We talked about getting a pet and decided to make our way out to look for a furry friend.  We ended up here...
