Musik Mundi: Shivaree

This is a really old song. But it was new to me when I watched Kill Bill, Vol.2. The song was featured somewhere in there and I used to listen to it all the time. Listening to it now makes me want to get up and do an awkward tango with big poppa. You should see our awkward and unsmooth moves on the dance floor.

Restaurant: Cheese Berry

9888 Bellaire Boulevard #102
Houston, TX 77036

One very cold and very rainy, night, I invited a few friends to meet big poppa and I up to try out that new Korean-pizza fusion restaurant. It was a horrible night to be meeting up but I had already cancelled the week before and I was determined to make this happen because I hate to be the seller outer. Plus. I LOVE pizza. And Cheese Berry mos def did not disappoint. The pizza crust was abso perfect. Not too thick, not too thin and with a nice crunch to it with every bite. YUMS! Mrs. Cheese Berry, the owner was such a sweet lady. It was almost like going to eat at your grandma's house and having her take care of you. The pace of things wasn't exactly fast as our order for everything took a bit of time to arrive but that's not such a big issue with me. I can be pretty patient most of the times. The only negative thing about the restaurant would have to be their boba drinks. Milk tea no good. It tasted like they used jasmine tea or something for the tea. And I don't think anyone else liked the drinks that they ordered. But you don't come here for boba drinks. You come here for the pizzas and that's mos def where they excel. The best way to do it is to go with a lot of people so that you can try a bunch of different pizzas. The daughter of Mrs. Cheese Berry, Jeannette, was just as sweet as her mom. At least I think it was her mom. She came by our table and introduced herself and asked us our names. Before we left, she tested her memory of our names once more and passed! She so nice! I can't wait to go back.

We started off with some appetizers. Teriyaki and sweet and spicy chicken wings. Good!

Blue cheese chicken poppers. Good! But they had jalapenos in them that gave them quite the kick. I kinda could do without the jalapenos.

The most popular pizza would probably be the spicy kimchi bulgogi. We ordered two of these. One with the kimchi and one without. We had a couple of people who weren't kimchi fans, including myself. It was so gut! Had myself two slices of this one.

Green curry chicken. Good! I love me some coconut milk. And this is what this pizza had. But maybe it was just a bit much cos the pizza just didn't hold up as well and things were slipping and sliding everywhere. And there was also too many bamboo shoots.

Shrimp amore. Good! However, I thought that the shrimp was a little too shrimpy for my taste and so I ended up picking out all the shrimp. It tasted a lot better to me after that. I would like to stress that only I felt that way cos if you know me, I am constantly being labeled as a picky eater. I'm slowly attempting to change that perception of me.

Black pepper beef. The boys really liked this one. What is it with boys and beef? Anyways, I didn't try this one. Obviously.

Peanut butter banana pizza pie. This was okay. It was also the only slice of pizza that I did not finish. I think it was because there was just too much peanut butter. A lot of repeated smacking going on. I was also not a fan of the bananas. I don't like cooked bananas. Maybe I just prefer my pizzas savory and not dessert-like. Or MAYBE it's cos I already had FOUR slices of pizza as well as some appetizers. I'm such a pig.

Birthday: Fish Boi

Fish Boi invited me to his little berfday shindig and even though big poppa and I were super tired and not looking forward to making the long drive out to his brother's house, I decided in the end that it was important to go since it was for his berfday. I hadn't seen/talk with fish boi as well as some other folks that would be there for a looooong time. And I really missed them. So I told big poppa, we have to go. And I'm glad I did! These were the people that Antsymama and I would go clubbing with about four frackin' times a week, back in the day. Man. Good times! I sometimes wonder how I had so much energy back then to go out all the time. So I got some schmoozing in and I promised them that we would mos def see each other more. Fish boi's gf got him a cake more fitting of a bachelorette party. Hilarity!

Musik Mundi: Tegan and Sara

Tegan and Sara are identical twins from Canada. Very fitting seeing that big poppa and I have been watching the winter Olympics non-stop since opening ceremony. Now that it's over, what else am I gonna watch all night long? But, they're from Calgary, not Vancouver. It's kinda cool watching all this snowboarding stuff taking place at Cypress. I was snowboarding there just last year! Cypress will always have a special place in my heart cos it was where I had a turning point in my snowboarding career. Connecting heel to toe and back to heel! Ok. Wutevs. Back to music. Oy. I've got nothing else to add about the music. I'm in need of some blog inspiration.
