Are there any non americanized Chinese restaurants north of 610?

I live up near the Woodlands and cannot seem to find any Chinese restaurants comparable to those in China Town. All I found was menus with stuff like general tso chicken and lo mein. That’s fine if you’re in the mood but I want to find places with stuff like xiao long bao and dan dan noodles. I’m happy to support the small businesses in China Town especially now but it took me over an hour to get back home when I got take out last week while I was in the area for a doctor appointment.

There’s plenty of sushi, ramen, japanese, vietnamese, etc restaurants that are good. I just couldn’t find any Chinese restaurants. Thanks guys 🙂

Houston Gnats Help!

Ok, I admit I am not a fan of Houston. I moved here to support my husband being close to his family.
That said, I made changes. I exercise in before sunrise and after sunset between April and October.
I avoid the highway and purchased a lot of flood insurance.

Yet here we are. The gnats this year are killing me. I look like I have a disease and no matter how much we clean the house, avoid standing water in the backyard I get bitten.

I’ve tried the home remedies with the vinegar and soap to “catch” them. I’ve used bug repellant on myself. I’ve read everything I can find online with how to deal with them. So help me, here are my questions:

  1. Is this seasonal? Meaning will these things go away at some point?
  2. Have you found anything that works for you or your family as a repellant or catcher?

One more side note, I’m white, really, really white, as in irish white and my spouse is Hispanic. He doesn’t get bites at all.
