I’ve had one of the best weekends ever. A weekend where we had no obligations. Just had two days of do-whatever-we-want. Yesterday, I made homemade chicken noodle soup. Today, I made a new granola recipe. It was ok. Not as good as my favorite, the maple-nut granola. Also today, I ventured into candy making. Last…

beef bourguignon: the results
I’ve wanted to make this since seeing Julie & Julia. A pretty easy version was recently featured on the PBS series Everyday Food and then in the most recent edition of Everyday Food’s magazine. If you don’t subscribe, you need to. You really do. Go. Subscribe now. There’s no time to waste. It’s seriously one…
so much snow, more on the way
This is the view that Greg got when he opened the back door to venture out to knock the snow off the satellite dish. He had to shovel a path to get to it.
fake summer on a cold winter day
Greg was in some need of a warm summer day. Well it’s January in northeast Ohio and that’s a pretty tall order. Unless, that is, you have a membership at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. We trekked up to Cleveland with Michele and enjoyed a nice fake summer afternoon in the refreshingly warm Glass House. It’s…
school days
My delightfully wonderful partner reminded me today that it’s been some time since I updated the old blog. So here goes. I’ve been intrigued by the demolition of one of the elementary schools in Tallmadge. It’s right off the Tallmadge Circle. As a kid, I remember seeing the tiled mural on the front as my…
how we rang in 2010
This was the first year, in many, that I didn’t have to stay at work and run the First Night Akron events in our building. I worked during the day to make sure that everything was set, and then quietly walked out the door to my car at 5:05 pm. Confident that everything was in…

christmas vacation!
We’re finally to the point in our Christmas vacation that we don’t have to be anywhere at any particular time. We’re just taking the days, hours and minutes as they come. That’s not to say that the busy flurry of the holidays at the front end of our vacation weren’t wonderful. They were fantastic, filled…
a decorated tree and fireplace
Greg was pretty awesome and assembled the Christmas tree and brought in all of the boxes of decorations while I was at work on Saturday. I spent the evening decorating the tree, a little differently this year, and decking the fireplace. Once again, there is glitter everywhere. Back to work this afternoon. When I return…
