chewy chocolate chunk-cherry cookies
As you are reading today’s post, I am in a car with three of my favorite people (ok, I really like you too, but there wasn’t enough room in the car for anyone else) traveling through America’s heartland from Akron, Ohio to St. Louis, Missouri. No road trip is complete with out a great selection…
july in random photos
Show of hands, who was getting tired of logging onto made by mike, and being greeted by the smiling tomatoes? It was kinda cute the first time, right? Well, it’s the first of August. And I pledge to blog a bit a more regularly. Even if that just means throwing up a random photo from…
tomatoes make me smile
A happy assortment of some of the first heirloom tomatoes of the season from my garden. From top to bottom, we have Nayagous, Speckled Roman and Sun Gold. We’ve tasted them all, on salads, except for the speckled. I’m probably going to slice that one for a sandwich. The Sun Golds are amazing. They are…

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…
a birthday
My good friend Michele’s birthday is today. Last night a group of us celebrated the occasion at the new O’Charley’s. Food was good, service was a tad lacking. It was still a great chance to all be together to celebrate Michele’s special day. After dinner we headed back to our place for red velvet cupcakes….
chili for a chilly day
It’s been downright cold since this new year began. To warm our selves up a little bit, I decided that Sunday was the perfect time to make a batch of chili. On Saturday we headed up north with our friends David and Marc to do a little shopping in the Beachwood area. We stopped at…
