If you grew up in Nashville you probably have fond memories of the Opryland USA theme park. It closed in 1997 and is now the site of a Mills mall. My favorite ride was Chaos, an indoor roller coaster, a hot destination on the warm summer days. Opryland wasn’t the best or biggest theme park, [...]
For Shaun’s birthday this past Friday, we went to Cleveland for the weekend. That may seem weird, but, trust me, if you go and eat at Michael Symon’s Lola, it will seem a lot less weird. Cleveland has a great art museum, baseball, basketball, football… And the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
Last weekend, I ran a half marathon. Sometime in January, I (arguably stupidly) decided that training for one would be a good idea. At that time, the local ING half marathon was too close, so I decided on the Country Music half marathon in Nashville. I’ll cut right to the chase and say that I [...]
With Valentine’s Day falling on a Sunday this year, yesterday, Friday, would seem to be the day to bring in a love-inspired baked good for my coworkers. Oh, and I always let Shaun try whatever I make. I am a sucker for cookie cutters, but I have gotten increasingly lazy about rolling out dough. Since [...]

I don’t eat out that often. Well, I take that back. I bet I eat out more often than average, but if Foursquare is to be believed, I eat out less than other people/foodies my age. Often when I do eat out a blank is drawn on where to go, so I thought I’d compile [...]
We love Christmas over here. I am so full, and I actually can’t wait to get back to normal eating habits. Cheers!
I have a little Christmas tree. But it’s cute.
I saved the best Thanksgiving treat for second-to-last. I have another one I will tell you about tomorrow. For the past few years, my family has done a deep-fried turkey for Thanksgiving. For some reason, it never occurred to us until this year to use the already hot oil to deep fry other things. Enter [...]
I am thankful for FOOD. I am lucky to have access to and can afford good food, and I’m lucky I like to cook and can make my own. I have been to a great many restaurants and made a great many recipes at home. I love food!
