We've been busy in the past few weeks adjusting to the new schedule. I started my job last week and so far everything has been great. The company I work for has a strict social networking policy. I'm not allowed to mention the company name, my job position, the location of the company or who I work with on any blog, website or online social network. I can only mention that I work for a computing company in the oil and gas industry. A lot of the tech jobs in Houston are either in the oil/gas industry or in a medical field.
Lyneth is still in the process of finding a job, but she's been getting a lot of interviews lately. It's only a matter of time before she gets and offer.

We've been going out to eat a lot in Houston and one of our common activities is to visit late night food trucks. Lyneth, Bo, Lux and I have been driving all over Houston in search of these elusive mobile restaurants. One that we liked below is only open from 9pm to 3am. It also has an erratic schedule, so the first time we tried to go it was in a different area.
One that we went to recently was called "Oh my gogi" and they serve Korean/Mexican fusion food that was really good. I liked the bulgogi tacos and Lyneth liked the kimchi quesadillas. There are a lot of food trucks that serve fusion food like this in Houston. I wasn't sure about this combination, but it turned out to be delicious. Lux says that he wants to open a Cambodian/Hawaiian fusion food truck after he graduates from college.

Another activity that has been taking up our time has been building a garden. When we arrived, Bo decided that he wanted to redo his garden and add lots of new plants. We planted peppers, flowers, lime trees, pineapples, mint, basil, and more. The four of us did a lot of digging in the hot Texas sun. It's in the low 90s Fahrenheit right now, so it only takes a few minutes to work up a good sweat in the garden. We are working on adding some stepping stones to the backyard and we already planted 3 different kinds of lime trees there. Hopefully they won't be killed by the intense heat.

So, I went to Ikea the other day to find the 50 cent hotdogs you posted, but found them too late. I didn't realize they had a dining area AND a costco-style food area. Tragedy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a job! Let us know when the heat makes you want to come home.
I think I originally wanted posts on to post pictures of us playing board games with your head badly photoshopped in.
IKEA also has a huge playground area for kids. You could spend a whole day in there and not buy any furniture. I wouldn't be surprised if IKEA also became a hotel so you could stay overnight if all that shopping made you tired.
ReplyDeleteI played Agricola with a couple of guys who knew Josh (Joyce's brother). They were very nice and also pretty good at playing games. I will practice a lot with them, so when I visit Hawaii I can show you first hand (test) my enhanced board game skills.
Glad to see you working in the garden!! Love the day lilies--hope they can withstand the heat. Dad misses his leaf-picker. Oh My Gogi is my kind of food truck, but curious to see what Lux might serve up as Cambodian-Hawaiian fusion dishes! Will check out IKEA in bay area, but doubt that hotdogs are that cheap there.
ReplyDeleteThe backyard garden is currently on hold as Bo is thinking of hiring a professional to design it. Pupe just arrived yesterday as well so I'll probably post some pictures in my next post. We just went back to IKEA to get her a bed, desk and chair.
