Each year when October rolls around, I marvel at the number of birthdays that fall during the month. And then I do a little math, count back 9 months, and it all makes sense to what people were doing a lot of the previous February. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo understands that couples like…
Christmas came early for Cleveland food-and-drink lovers at last week’s Emerging Chefs Naughty Claus. Going in, I knew if there was anyone who could break up the monotony of holiday meals, it would be the Emerging Chefs team. And I was not disappointed as they teamed with Chef Adam Lambert…
Bit o’ Blogkeeping: You have until 11:59pm on Monday, Dec. 24 to enter my Damn Right I’m From Cleveland giveaway. I’ll announce the winner on Christmas Day! As I’ve blogged before, my lack of cooking skills is a bit notorious. In fact the last (and only) time I ever baked something…
Did you know a clandestine society makes its home on the shores of Lake Erie? The 12 and 12 believe that the Grimms’ tragic 12 Dancing Princesses wasn’t just a fairytale and work to reunite the princesses and their suitors. Oh yeah, and they throw really great parties. Earlier this week, Scott…
This Thanksgiving, there were many things to be thankful for. I’m lucky to have a pretty swell husband (understatement), fantastic parents and sister, friends and even in-laws (congrats Laura and Max on your engagement!). From work to home and in between, there’s not much to complain about. And even better, I get…
This year one of Cleveland’s landmark institutions is celebrating its 90th birthday. As the country’s largest performing arts center outside of New York, PlayhouseSquare engages our community and attracts over one million guests each year to 1,000+ annual events. But that wasn’t always the case. Although PlayhouseSquare was downtown Cleveland’s cinematic and entertainment destination for many years, the post-WWII flight […]
Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway for Fabulous Food Show tickets. It was nice to see I’m not the only one whose favorite holiday (or anytime) dish is stuffing. And many many thanks to everyone who linked to or posted a recipe for me – I’m going to have to try out a few of them when […]
Although Hurricane Sandy put a delay on a lot of the Halloween festivities, I think it’s safe to safe the holiday season is finally upon us. And with the arrival of HallowThanksMas, my brain turns to food. That’s kind of a lie. My brain is usually turned to food, but more so over the next two months. As I prepare for Scott’s […]
Sadly the bulk of Cleveland Beer Week falls during one of work’s busiest times of year so I haven’t really had a chance to enjoy much of the festivities. However, when I saw on Monday that Tremont Taphouse was showing Monty Python and the Holy Grail on their patio and serving up ale in Grail goblets you […]
With family and friends scattered up and down the East Coast, I love any excuse for them to travel west and pay a visit to Cleveland. Whether they come to check out the local sights so they can shut me up or just because they miss Scott and me, I will never…
