Christmas Nest: Photo #213

Shopping for this year’s tree, we saw this one and realized that it had an old bird’s nest hiding in the inner branches.  We thought that was a good sign and almost picked it as our tree.  But then we remembered the cats.  And decided that maybe it wouldn’t be such a good thing to [...]

Venice on Vine: Photo #175

Thursdays we work in a school downtown, so today we decided to try out a pizza place for lunch called Venice on Vine.  After passing it on my way to and from school every Thursday for a month and seeing their sign that says “Good Food for a Good Cause”, I got curious and looked them  up online.  [...]

One Hump or Two?: Photo#163

Look what we found at Findlay Market!  I wonder how they would taste with those hyena burgers we have in the freezer…

Emanu: Photo #142

We finally made it to the Ethiopian restaurant, Emanu.  Verdict: much better than the Korean food we had (but I promise I am reserving my judgement on all Korean food until I’ve tried other dishes).  It didn’t taste like anyone’s basement, for starters.   We shared a ”meat sampler” plate which included shredded beef in a tomato based [...]

Weinerfest: Photo #141

One reason Cincinnati is cool: the mascot for our yearly Oktoberfest (the nation’s largest – we won’t let you forget) is a Weiner Dog and the festivities are kicked off  each year by Weiner Dog races at lunchtime on Fountain Square.  Zipper was not invited because she tends to be a little highly strung and Randy [...]

Your Grandma’s Basement: Photo #120

Randy and I are easily bored by chain restaurants and “american” food, so we try to seek out new restaurant experiences when we can.  That lead us to Riverside Korean restaurant in Covington.  Randy has dabbled in Korean food but I was a complete novice, so we figured we could sample some new and exciting [...]

Clifton is HOT HOT HOT: Photo #117

All kinds of excitment today during lunch next door to the restaurant.  We never found out what happened, but whatever it was it took four fire trucks.

Steps: Photo #115

Thanks to Randy’s herculean efforts yesterday and today, we have steps.  And a handrail to go along with them.  One good thing on this limbo day when I feel so dismal.  I’m still taking the pregnancy supporting hormones that go along with a frozen cycle and they are really doing a number on me today.  [...]

Magnolia Bakery State of Mind: Photo #110

We began our epic journey home this morning by taking a walk to the NBC store to pick up some last minute goodies.  Then we: trudged to the subway with our luggage, rode the subway to Penn Station, walked what must equal a mile through Penn Station to the New Jersey Transit, rode the hour-long [...]
