Flatiron
The cigar specials at the Flatiron Everyone was out of the office for the most part up in Columbus. I’d no reason to be there, but it afforded me the ability to focus on the mounting tasks at hand. I strolled down the street to the Flatiron for a Black and Bleu salad— pretty much…

Dishing
The egg dish I’m not big on fancy wares for the table, tending to go for simple white with no ornamentation whatsoever. But I’ve always been drawn to this dish — the palette for eggs. It has resurfaced for Easter as long as I can remember. I also recall perhaps wanting to use the thing…

Dinner Club: Slims (The First)
The second course, or was it the third… Twelve friends gathered at Slims for the first of what we hope is a successful run of meeting up at area restaurants to play catch up and enjoy food without the pressure of hosting, cooking or cleaning. I don’t often marvel at the composition of the folks…

Coulrophobia
Coulrophobia refers to an abnormal and persistent fear of clowns Saturday, March 27th — So I made it over to Don Pablos for a pre-birthday bash dinner with friends. I hadn’t eaten at this chain mexican restaurant in years. Now I remember why. The food is forgettable and the portions are too large. I’ll say…

Cookies
I like these There’s an awkward feeling of conformity when I fork over the 3 bucks for Girl Scout Cookies. With every bite I wonder if I’m going to become… …Conservative. I have no idea why that is, but if I did more research, I’m sure there’s potential to frighten me with the Girl Scout…

Sci-fi wasabi
I got no reset for this game I’m at the studio downtown. It’s gorgeously blue skied outside. I went to the sushi joint for lunch by my lonesome, but I did find myself eating everything on my tray. Even the surprise potato I usually skip. It’s either because I was savoring without conversation, I really…

The clean plate club
And the wine was delicious After a full day of work, it was off to the outskirts of town for dinner at GW and Gabi’s. Brad charged up the battery on his truck and it got us up the snowy drive as neighborhood dogs, dumb as bricks, brought up the rear. I hadn’t seen these…

Slims
Green pea soup, garlic, herbs “A restaurant with no telephone, no credit cards and communal tables” – That’s how Slim’s (in Northside – a community of Cincinnati) is described. The door says, “5:30pm ’til the food’s gone”. I met Wendy and Tom outside not knowing what to expect, other than Kate said we’d like it.…

Waffle House
cigarettes and chocolate milk and grease The town roughly between Cincinnati and Columbus has turned into one of those Outlet Mall destinations and it seems to actually not be failing. This used to be the exit for the Lion’s Den adult book store, a truckstop, a gas station, a 60’s motel, and of course, a…

Pancakes, train stations, dream stars and UNO®
This image makes no sense Sunday, January 4 – It began with the smell of breakfast at the 3 bears house. TheMonkeyBear was in the kitchen, up before anyone else, making pancakes, sausage and eggs. We sat at the new fangled dining room table and sat down to the vittles, complete with parsley and fresh…
