So Father’s Day is actually next Sunday, but Mariko will be in Europe, Bay will be in Los Angeles, and I am taking Koa up to Baylor for Band Camp. Which means I’ll be alone that evening so… we decided to celebrate Father’s Day today. And of course, that means I get to choose the dinner (or brunch). 😀

So after much thinking (I am so indecisive), I decided on a local casual restaurant, CR Surf & Turf. This place is neither fancy, nor expensive, but it’s popular and they have some delicious seafood. It’s a lot of Southern-style food, which means plenty of fried goodies, but what Koa and I like to get is the surf & turf: a meat choice and a seafood choice. I opted for the flat-iron steak and grilled scallops, while Koa got the steak kabobs and bacon-wrapped shrimp. Meanwhile, Bay decided on the shrimp brochette. Mariko didn’t order anything but shared what we had. In addition to the entrees, we ordered a basket of fried oysters, six oysters on the half-shell, and jalapeño shrimp. It was all delicious, but so much fried food leaves you feeling a little uncomfortable later.

I really like CR Surf & Turf and so do lots of other people. We arrived shortly after they opened at 4:30 pm and the place was already half filled up! The prices are reasonable, the food is good, and the service is solid. Plus it’s close to our house so it’s very convenient. If you’re in the mood for some Southern-style seafood like crawfish, po-boys, oysters, and even frog legs, give CR Surf & Turf a try.

こんばんは

This evening after dinner I decided to use my MoviePass to see Solo: A Star Wars Story again. I liked it even better the second time! It’s such a fun movie – I was grinning ear-to-ear almost the whole movie. Although I like all the characters, I think that Woody Harrelson’s Beckett was particularly outstanding. He was so cool in the standoff at Dryden Vos’ ship at the end of the movie. And he had the funniest line in the film (“I hurt my thumbs!”)

The benefit of the second screening is that you get to see all the cool Star Wars references and easter eggs. I loved the crystal skulls, and also hearing the Imperial theme at the recruiting area. Fun movie.

I hope you had a nice Monday!
