There are restaurants in this lovely town of ours that we sometimes overlook. It's not because we forget they're there, or that we don't care for them, it's simply tht sometimes, we get in our rut. We are friends with the chef and Coq Au Vin make me giggle? We go to La Coop. Brunch? We go to ...
Beet Agnolotti
Ah, 502 Restaurant Week... Dinner at Rye proved to be amazing. While we didn't stick to ordering the three course prix fixe menu they had available, we still ended up with some pretty tasty dishes. We split their fries- one of Bryan's favorites, thick cut and served with a garlic aioli- and a spicy ...
Christmas in Cleveland
As odd as it was being away from my parents over the holiday, I have to admit, I had a great Christmas!
I've always bugged Bryan about what he looked like when he was younger. I've never had the chance to see photos of him when he was a kid, but while reading on Monday night, I spotted a photo ...
New Christmas Traditions

Living to the Point of Tears
I saw something the other day that struck me straight into my soul. A simple little phrase, a pick-you-up that should be viewed only as something sweet to remind you to live well.
** ... to the point of tears **
I have tried my hardest every day of my thirty years to not be a person ...
Birthday Wishes
Good Lord, in less than 3 hours, I'll be 30.
I always thought that I would dread beginning this decade. Of course, I always thought I would be married, possibly a mommy as well. I have to say, I'm entering my 30s with great expectations as well as a pretty awesome 6 months behind me. I met my ...
Always keep a Bottle of Champagne in the Fridge for Special Occasions
Because sometimes, you discover that a lifelong friend has been reading your blog by receiving an unexpected package...
** well, I'll be **
With such a sweet note attached, who wouldn't want to bust open a bottle?! Thanks, Tommy! ...
Cheers!
I always have a bottle of Champagne in the fridge. This is due partly to never knowing when a girlfriend will pop in and announce her engagement, or surprising myself with new client, but mostly, it's because of this sweet reminder:
** smart words **
It's surprising, really, how often I've found ...
