Long Time No ‘V’ . . .
With another puppy-sitting gig on the schedule for this weekend, Jan and I were out the door by 11am, heading up to Brandi’s in Katy, about 90 minutes away. Brandi, Lowell, and Landon are spending the weekend with friends out in Colorado so we’re on dog-duty again, just like last weekend.
When we got there we let the dogs out and then brought all our stuff inside. Then with the dogs back in, we headed back out to have lunch at a long-time local favorite of ours, Little V’s Vietnamese Bistro.
We’ve been eating here for years since Brandi and Lowell introduced it to us. It doesn’t hurt that it’s only about 5 minutes away from both their old and their new houses.
The last time we ate here was back in October, and the time before that was the previous March, right before we left on our big out West trip. In between those two times, Tuen, the original owner had sold the place so we were anxious to check it out.
And as we left we all agreed that although it was really delicious, it wasn’t quite up to Tuen’s ownership. So Jan and I were interested in seeing what had happened in the last 6 months.
And things had changed, but for the good. They seemed to have taken the same dishes and improved them by putting their own spin on them. We started out with an order of the Pork Spring Rolls.
Last time we didn’t that the wrapper was a lot chewy than before. But now the wrapper was perfect, and they had more of the crispy pork strips in them.
Jan went with her favorite Curry Chicken, which she said was as good as ever.
I of course got my usual Shaking Beef Vermicelli Bowl (still don’t know why the beef is shaking tho.).
Last time, the beef, which was normally melt-in-your-mouth tender, was pretty chewy. But the tenderness is back, and even better, it’s got bigger pieces of beef, and more of them.
And we always a dish of their homemade Soy Ginger Sauce. Really amazing flavor.
Neither one of us could finish our entrée’s, so we both had take-home containers. And because of that, we decided to bypass ordering our normal Crème Brûlée Spoons. But as it turned out, we didn’t have a choice.
When the young lady brought our check she also brought an order of two Crème Brûlée spoons. It seems they now include them with the meal, since we saw other tables getting them too. So it wasn’t just that we were special.
Tomorrow we’ll lounge around until about 6, then head home. Thinking about having dinner at the Plucker’s Chicken place down in Webster, but we’ll see.
Thought for the Day:

I’ll Have a #6 . . .

Today at work was spent stomping out a series of small buy irritating problems, some new, and some that had been hanging around for a while.
Heading back out to dinner, we once again passed this tree trunk carving so I thought I’d get a photo of it.
Very nicely done.
And right next door to this a new small RV park is going in, with about 10 sites. They’ve still got one or more pads to lay so we’ll see how it goes.
Getting to Floyd’s a little before 5pm, we both ordered our usual. In fact it’s so ‘usual’ for us they should just make a menu item just for us. That way we could just order a ‘#6’.
And ordering a #6 would get us a dozen raw oysters for us both,
2 Grilled Catfish Fillets with a side of Grilled Steamed Veggies for Jan,
and a bowl of Shrimp Gumbo, and also a side of the Grilled Steamed Veggies for me too.
Coming home we detoured by the nearby Krogers to get some Mega Millions and PowerBall lottery tickets. Tonight’s MM is at $243 Million, and tomorrow’s night PB is at $321 Million.
Worth risking a few bucks. You can’t win if you don’t play.
By the time we got back to Santa Fe tonight it was dark enough to see how well my new LED headlights work. I really like the ‘white’ light they put out. Really lights things up.
Tomorrow morning sometime we’re heading up to Brandi’s to pet-sit once again, but this time only for Saturday and Sunday.
Thought for the Day:
Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
