just another week in the CLE

February 27, 2010 – 9:51 am

Most miserable city? I beg to differ.
My week started by spending an evening with a bunch of really witty and engaging  Cleveland bloggers by way of a shopping spree at NEXT in Beachwood Place (I didn’t shop, sigh. Instead, I played the part of social media maven and organized this soiree. I sometimes do some [...]

dining out with little ones

February 21, 2010 – 8:22 pm

I’ve seen the looks. I’ve heard the comments. We’ve felt the tension as we walk past your table and our party of three is seated next to you. You’re out for a nice evening and the last thing you want is some screaming kid about to ruin your night out. Or worse, we are seated in your [...]

clevelanders love their veggies (as in veggie u)

February 14, 2010 – 8:42 pm

Like you, I believe in giving back. Whether it’s volunteering my time or the various organizations my husband and I  support, I think it’s important to help others because you never know when you could be the one that needs a helping hand. But I never put this blog to good use, and it’s been [...]

funny how things change

February 12, 2010 – 12:32 pm

I don’t like spice. I love spices, but anything that adds heat – I’ll pass. This includes pepper – barely use it (yes, I know what you’re thinking). I love all types of food and will try just about anything but am a serious wuss when it comes to any bit of hotness on my [...]

for auld lang syne…

December 21, 2009 – 6:14 pm

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind… Those lyrics to this day still stir up mixed emotions for me of sadness, hopefulness and joy.
It’s somewhat difficult to accept that a new decade is upon us. It seems we were all just ringing in the Millennium (and freaking out about Y2K). And yet, here we are [...]

blog it forward (happy hour benefit @ greenhouse tavern)

November 23, 2009 – 10:33 am

I don’t know Anissa Mayhew. And until last week, I never even heard her name. That was until Amelia e-mailed several local bloggers asking for help. None of us know her. But she’s a fellow blogger. She’s a mom. She’s roughly my age. And she’s fighting for her life. And if God forbid something were to [...]

q&a with jonathan sin-jin satayathum

October 29, 2009 – 8:05 am

There’s a joke in here somewhere about how many Jonathons does it take to open a restaurant… Well in the case of The Greenhouse Tavern - three. Jonathon Sawyer, of course, and Johnathan Seeholzer and Jonathan Sin-jin Satayathum.
I first met Sin-Jin last year at the  Brooklyn Beer Dinner with chef Sawyer. And since we’ve had a [...]
