Around the World from Home: Date Night at Nach-Yo Ordinary Tequila Tasting

Butterflies, I recently attended a tequila tasting for date night and it was so much fun. Tequila is a product of Mexico and is one of the world’s most recognized and favored spirits.

Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy my tequila drinks here in Texas.

Visiting Texas: America's Incredible Pizza Company - Texas

This is a sponsored post.

Butterflies, if you're planning to be in the San Antonio, Texas area anytime soon this post might be of great interest to you. Plan to have an incredible time mixing Fun, Food and Family while making memories that will last a lifetime at America's Incredible Pizza Company. Incredible Pizza delivers high energy and a quality experience for the entire family. After enjoying their freshly homemade buffet; enter their world famous Fair Grounds and play over 100 arcade and carnival style games. Race to the finish line while driving go-karts, get lost in a friendly game of laser tag, get a hole-in-one while playing glow golf, and spin away on the bumper cars and more! 

As you can probably tell from the pictures below, the last time we were in the San Antonio area was during the holiday season and although there was so much to see and do around town we made sure to stop by the Incredible Pizza Company for their amazing buffet and cool games. We had so much fun and even saw a photo of the 1942 Nighthawks oil on canvas painting by Edward Hopper that was featured on an episode of one of my favorite tv shows when I was in high school, That 70’s Show.

Visiting Texas: Luby's New Kid Menu

Hey Butterflies! Me and the kiddo had the opportunity to take a behind the counter tour of the kitchen at Luby's yesterday and it was a pretty cool experience. I've been a customer of Luby's for as far back as I can remember, so learning about the history of Luby's and how the food is prepared was very interesting. The fact that the food at Luby's is made from scratch fresh every day is exciting to know. 

Studio Movie Grill Launches Fight Against Hunger Campaign

  

Hey Butterflies! Studio Movie Grill is teaming up with local food banks to support the Fight Against Hunger in anticipation of the final chapter of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and I think we should all try to be a part of this. Their goal is to give 100% of the ticket proceeds to surrounding local food banks October 19 – 22. During this time all of their movies will be $5. You can find the SMG nearest to you by going to www.studiomoviegrill.com and following the locate prompts at the bottom of the screen.

There's more....in addition, they're donating 10% of the proceeds from all Hunger Games themed digital e-Gift Cards that are purchased from October 23- November 25 at www.studiomoviegrill.com. Also 

This is a advertisement post, I maybe compensated for my time/services either monetarily or in products/goods.

Visiting Texas: Houston Restaurant Weeks Benefiting the Houston Food Bank: Del Frisco's Grille

Happy Sunday Butterflies! It's Restaurant Weeks in Houston and today I had the pleasure of dining at Del Frisco's Grille for Sunday Brunch and....it was AMAZING! A well prepared three course meal for only $25? I mean who wouldn't enjoy that?

The menu consisted of three options per course to choose from. I tried the Philly Cheese-Steak Egg Rolls for my starter, Red Velvet Waffles for my entree and Peanut Butter & Toffee Mousse for dessert. Sounds yummy right? Lol, It so was! Beverages are not included in the meal price so prepare to pay a little extra to try one or two of the tasty drinks at Del Frisco. I tried the Screwdriver (because it's one of my favorite drinks) and it was pretty awesome, and by "pretty awesome" I mean the alcohol to ice ratio was on point. lol

Visiting Texas: 11Below Brewing Company + I Ate From a Food Truck for the First Time

Hey Butterflies! I spontaneously decided to go on an adventure after work today and ended up in northwest Houston, Texas at 11 Below Brewing Company. I was invited by a meetup group that I'm apart of which is a cool/casual way for me to experience so many different places that I probably wouldn't on my own and I had a great time. This brewery uses the chip/token system in which you pre-pay for your drinks.

Movie: I Went to Studio Movie Grill and Got Inspired Financially

Butteries, I wrote a post a few months back expressing my desire to check out Studio Movie Grill...yea that didn't happen until yesterday (lol I've been busy). Anyway, it was a really cool experience! The best part about SMG is being able to pick your own seats...I freaking love that! Not having to go on a scavenger hut for seats in a pitch black theater is an amazing feeling. The seats are very comfy and the food and drinks at SMG are great and well worth the price. The only thing I wish SMG did differently is open a few more locations and add a few more movie choices. On a different note I really enjoyed the movie (The Gambler) and not just because Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite actors but because it had a really positive real life message. Without giving away the movie I must say the most intriguing part of the Gambler to me is when Frank played by John Goodman shared some wisdom with Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) about life, finances and being self efficient. If you know me, I mean truly know me you know I'm hardly ever the one to depend on anyone so you can understand why that part of the movie really stuck out to me. So with that being said, as you read this I'm working on a master plan to one day have "Fuck You Money". If you've already seen the movie you know what I mean and if you haven't GO SEE IT!
