All You Can Eat At JPot San Antonio

If you tell me a restaurant is All You Can Eat, I'm game.

In this economy, I need to get my money's worth and I feel I can do that when I can keep ordering the food. 

JPOT is a spot like this.

And even better, on select days, kids eat free. I think kids to them are 10 and under. If Natalie looked younger, I'd have been all, "You're 10 today." I'm kidding. It's best to be honest. (*Shifty eyes*)

Anyhow, Natalie picked this spot to celebrate her birthday. You create Hot Pots. And for $5 more, you can grill meats and seafood in the center of the table. 

Oh, and it's lovely inside.

We liked the Cherry Blossom decor. I hope to see them live in Washington one day. I know the real things are gorgeous!

Here is one side of the menu. If you want to see the full menu, check it out here with current prices. This is the grill side, and look at all the choices. And yes, they are NEVERENDING.

Plus there's even more choices on the line. Like nuggets and fries for the picky kids, plus other selections.

Plus we found veggies, spices, and ice cream bars. Also all you can eat.

And a bunch of sauces for the Hot Pot and meats and seafood. Yup, there's seafood as well. Natalie tried the octopus and said it was good. Warning: it does arrive with the tentacles. We should have sang Poor Unfortunate Souls with it. Next time, I guess.

I'm not joking when I saw there is A LOT of food. We were surrounded by it. We joked that this was how Henry VIII dined. Every area of the table had some sort of meat on it. 

And how did the hot pot come out? I picked a spicy broth, and I liked it. Natalie tried the miso and said it was tasty. I put chicken, pork belly, and veggies in there. Plus other sauces and spices. I can't recall. I felt like a witch making a potion. It was fun.

Would we go back? Yes! We can't afford to go ALL the time, but on special occasions, yes. Because as I mentioned, you will get your money's worth. And yes, they do military discount as well.

Have you ever been to a restaurant like this?

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to be excited to have both my kids home for Easter weekend. Yes, the Easter Bunny still visits. 

......to have enjoyed Project Hail Mary. I mentioned I was seeing it last week with my Mom, and we highly recommend the film. I want to read the book now.

.......to still have a giveaway for a $20 Amazon eGift card here. It ends on Friday!

.......to have picked up this Strawberry Sando at H-E-B. They make sandwiches like these in Japan and have become popular over here. So what did I think? I was a fan. The strawberries tasted fresh, the whipped cream was delish, and the milk bread finished it all off perfectly. I'd get this again!

Easter Gift Ideas For Twenty-Somethings

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I still do Easter baskets for my kids. And they aren't exactly kids anymore. My son is 24 and my daughter is 19. But I enjoy putting baskets together for them and they appreciate the baskets--so I might keep doing it until I'm bedridden. 

Oh gosh, I hope I'm never bedridden.

Dang.

ANYHOW. 

If you're like me and also do baskets for older people, I have suggestions. And this doesn't include candy, because different candy is a given. Unless you're one of those households who do not do candy. I cannot relate though. We cannot go without Cadbury Cream Eggs.

Onto the basket goodies.

Natalie plays guitar, so I had to get this guitar Bum Bumz. It's from the show Friends, which she also appreciates. Bum Bumz has many adorable options for under $10. 

Okay, yes, maybe a face mask is odd, but the flu is going around and I just read that there could be another Covid variant, so yes, I will still wear masks sometimes. Makana Masks are incredibly comfortable and hey, I haven't gotten sick *knocks on wood* 

I found these at Target, and I thought they were adorable. Life can be crazy, and these would be cute to have displayed nearby. Who doesn't love chocolate?

Hand sanitizers from Bath & Body Works are an affordable choice. As I mentioned above, there are germs going around, so these are nice to have. 

Fugglers are popular, and now you can get a Baby Fuggler, PLUS a car seat that attaches to a car vent. My daughter has him (he's named Gus) in her vehicle and he's an adorable companion. 

Okay, so this Gilmore Girls sunshade is bigger than a basket, but it can go beside it. It's perfect for Gilmore Girls fans and under $20 at Boxlunch.

Apparently Nee-Doh is all the rage these days thanks to social media. We always had a few in the house--they are fun to squeeze and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. If you're stressed, grab the Nee-Doh. If you're mad, chuck the Nee-Doh. Kidding. (Kinda.) But I was lucky to find the egg after they were put on the shelf. If you manage to find one, you might be a hero. I just grabbed one by the way. All the resellers, I hope both sides of your pillow are forever warm. Shame on you. 

I hope you were able to find some ideas and if not, well, just stick to the chocolate bunny I guess. I can never say no to a chocolate bunny. (Or, as mentioned before, a Cadbury Cream Egg. Or PEEPS.)
