After drooling over pictures of Skyline Chili on Friday, I decided to go ahead and give this recipe on About.com a try.

Fran and I have the 3-day to Cincinnati locked down for the second week of September.  Hee!  Creation Museum lolz!  Don't worry, it won't be all fundies all the time; we're going to check out Cincinnati too.

And I'm drooling all over myself at the sight of this Skyline Chili restaurant chain!  Good christ, the CHEESE!  Even if the thought of chili ( Read more... )

Cornish game hens, perfectly proportioned for one or two people.  And who doesn't like handling what resembles a freakishly small raw chicken?

I tried a Gweneth Paltrow GOOP recipe on the first hen.  Go ahead, verbally abuse me for even knowing her trite little newsletter exists, I deserve it.  Recipe was still good, even if my kitchen doesn't ( Read more... )

Last Friday Boyfriend and I enjoyed a leisurely day in the city, celebrating our 3 year anniversary.  The camera battery ran out, so no pictures for you!

Like a good Boyfriend, he let me plan the entire agenda which included an early dinner at Monk's Cafe on 16th and Spruce.  I'd been to their sister establishment and loved it.  But The Belgian Cafe ( Read more... )

Wednesday morning and I have one thought and one thought only: Cinnabon with carmel and pecans.

I dodged a drunken homeless guy who was actively ignoring personal space boundaries on my way to Chinatown last night.  Shopping for produce is surprisingly simple in a major metro - even if it is a filthy metro.  But the problem with getting your veggies in Chinatown is that the stands are all labeled in Chinese.  So you better know what you're ( Read more... )

Here's a rundown of Chifa's chef tasting menu from my birthday.  I am so glad we tried this and I cannot wait to have a similar experience again.  Well worth the money.  Oh my, yes.  The restaurant was very dark and trendy with modernist Asian design.  I recommend requesting a booth as the tables toward the front of the place are cramped quite ( Read more... )

No, really.  Whoever made this coffee should be fired.

"Class" started last night with a swamp of work.  Both instructors appear to be pithy and good humored.  I'm enjoying the Research course material, but the SPSS tutorial still scares the crap out of me.

In other news, I George Forman'd lamb chops last night and the result wasn't too bad.  Might ( Read more... )
