Feng Ling

We were returning the speakers that we bought at Fry's. We stopped off to eat at Feng Ling. This is another favorite place to eat. We have a small delivery version nearby. We ordered General Joe's chicken and Mongolian Beef. They have a nice lunch special. A bowl of soup, egg roll and the main dish. Very tasty.

Drove around west Houston on Saturday to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Rita. Found this "building" overturned at the corner of Memorial and Hwy 6 behind the new Starbucks. It was only after I returned home that I began to worry that perhaps someone could be trapped in the building.

Paul's Seafood and Oyster Bar

We had been hunkered down because of Hurricane Rita. Decided we had to get out and survey the storm damage. If we were stopped by police we would show John's Press ID.

This was the only place we could find open. We had always talked about eating here. I guess it is the allure of eating in a building shaped like a boat. We ordered a bowl of gumbo, stuffed shrimp, and fries. The gumbo was too hot (spicy) for me. The stuffed shrimp tasted like they used stove top stuffing and the order of fries were small.

The place was packed with people. I think everyone had the same need to just get out. It is more a bar then a restaurant.

Ready for the hurricane! Since we could not evacuate, we have prepared a supply of water just in case.

Mikki's Cafe
We were at Fry's and noticed this restuarant across the street. John had been told it was a great place to get oxtails. I ordered the beef plate with cabbage and green beans. John ordered Oxtails with macaroni/cheese and greens. Very generous helpings and tasty.
