From Cincinnati Locavore: Why is a salad more than a Big Mac?
Because no one is advocating for salad in Washington.
Review: Essencha Tea House
I love tea. I have issues with tea. Terry will attest that I buy too much of it– favorites include fruit teas from Europe, Red Label, and I can’t seem to walk out of Teavana without spending large amounts of money. It’s like the teenage […]
Cocktail Hour: The Negroni
A couple of days late, but Cocktail Hour can be on Sundays, right? I say yes. Once spring hits, I start craving gin and rum cocktails. Whiskey just seems so fall/wintery to me; gin and rum, on the other hand, taste like Springtime. And, if […]
Taft with a Twist tonight– don’t forget
Don’t forget that tonight is Taft with a Twist, where I’ll lead you through a chocolate and port tasting, along with Dojo Gelato! It’s free for members, $10 for non-members and starts at 6:30 and runs through 9 PM.

I neglected to post about St. Patrick’s Day..
….first, we headed to O’Nati’s pub on Fountain Square, where a big bunch of fabulous folks were gathered to listen to Naked Karate Girls and a U2 cover band, but mostly drink beer. Then, Kate, The Boyfriend and I went over to Arnold‘s– where we […]
