the kind of blackberry you save for last
Breakfast at the National Exemplar, Mariemont We had my favorite hostess on Sunday. It wasn’t a coincidence. She starts with a big ol hug and then serves a bloody mary and mimosa with a twinkle. I got above average bacon and eggs with bluegerm (blueberry + wheatgerm?) pancakes. But dang I wish I had gotten…

vanilla frosty
One of these days I will make a new journal category: junk food Is it possible to be better than the regular (chocolate) frosty? The answer is no. Unless you like the taste of ice milk.

corn
sweet I was reticent to post this picture because it seemed so much like the third one down on this page from 2004. But it’s not every day the supermarket had sweet white corn in the husk. I think I’ve finally learned how to cook it properly. For some reason I thought it took a…

mint cake
Looks close to Frisch’s hot fudge cake, but oh so much better The Brown made a birthday cake: Two layers of cake surrounded a mint chocolate ice-cream middle, the whole thing glazed with a layer of thick chocolate. It was dag good.

Dinner Club: Frischs

Always tasty I thought today was Monday. I don’t have enough things checked on my to-do list. In lieu of content, I’m posting picture of food. Related to photo and currently in my bathroom: Everything I Ate: A Year in the Life of My Mouth By Tucker Shaw

almost too pretty to eat
Handmade confections A good friend sent me a box of Marie Belle chocolates for the holidays, and I marveled at them. I’m not sure how or what they’re “printed” with, but I can say they taste as good as they look. I posted a picture of these up on Flickr and it generated a bit…

at the Cincinnati Art Museum
Eve Disconsolate (more about sculpture) Today was fantastic. The weather was spring-like, but don’t think I’m not against a snow day. Went to the museum to catch Borrowed Time: The Photograph as Music Album Cover. And while it was great to see true prints of some excellent work, I was a little miffed by the…
