DINNER 179: Wednesday, June 28, 2006

Tonight’s meal was at TACO CASA at the mall. Wendy had Bourbon Chicken from one of the Asian places therein. We went to pick up TITAN QUEST, a game Wendy has been looking forward to. She’s playing it now, thoroughly addicted. I’m spending time installing DREAMFALL and SHADOWGROUNDS, though DREAMFALL […]

DINNER 180: Thursday, June 29, 2006

I had Chef Boy Ar Dee Ravioli for dinner this evening, just a very simple dinner because I forgot to eat before our Salsa class. That’s right… A SALSA CLASS. In Wendy’s continuing quest to kill me by overworking me, she’s signed us up for a 5-session, once-a-week Salsa class that […]

DINNER 181: Friday, June 30, 2006

A fun, different kind of dinner this evening. We joined our friends, Dave & Robin, at the campsite where they are spending the weekend in Winton Woods Park. We grilled burgers and hot dogs over an open campfire (a few extras were cooked on their portable propane grill), ate fruit […]

DINNER 185: Tuesday, July 4, 2006

Wendy & I were flexible today. That was the word for it… We’d originally discussed going to a movie with Paul today, but he didn’t answer his phone, so we invited Dave & Robin to come along. A late lunch was at Pappadeaux (yummy Lobster Bisque and a Shrimp PoBoy […]

DINNER 186: Wednesday, July 5, 2006

When I got home this evening, I suggested to Wendy that we go to the Iron Horse Inn to sample their new Grill Menu, which we both thought sounded pretty good. We had to wait to make sure a couple of Wendy’s clients who were returning from vacation could pick up their dogs from boarding. […]

DINNER 187: Thursday, July 6, 2006

Our second week of SALSA CLASS was cancelled at the last minute, so Wendy & I had an unexpected evening off tonight. We ran to Kroger’s to do some shopping (Wendy’s office is cooking out for lunch tomorrow and she had to pick up a few things) and we came […]

DINNER 188: Friday, July 7, 2006

This evening, Angel, Wendy, and I went to the Iron Horse Inn, this time to really try their new grill menu (unlike Wednesday when we were …derailed in our effort). We sat in the red room (downstairs), though the weather was certainly mild enough to sit outside. We liked the […]

DINNER 189: Saturday, July 8, 2006

We had a fun evening out with our friends Bob & Sharon tonight. When we ran into Paul Sturkey at the Iron Horse Inn‘s most recent wine dinner, he invited us out to his restaurant, Sturkey’s, for a tasting menu. We took the restaurant up on the offer this evening, […]

DINNER 190: Sunday, July 9, 2006

Tonight we decided to stay home and attempt to eat sensibly. Well, sort of. One of my recipes is being published in a local newspaper (more on that later) and the photographer is coming tomorrow evening so I was preparing the recipe this evening. We ate some of my recipe (being […]

DINNER 191: Monday, July 10, 2006

Tonight, we went to dinner with our friend Paul to commemorate a significant event in his life. We dined at TAJ MAHAL, somewhere we haven’t been in months, and it was really good. I had the Chicken Taj Special, which is chunks of chicken, cheese, and hard-boiled egg in a […]

DINNER 192: Tuesday, July 11, 2006

This evening was spent at Great American Ball Park in downtown Cincinnati. I was there because some of my students asked if I wanted to participate in fundraising for student groups in my college, which of course I did. They make money by staffing concession booths at baseball games. Sounded […]

DINNER 193: Wednesday, July 12, 2006

This evening, I joined Wendy’s family (Mom, Dad, and Ted) as they welcomed Frederick and Michael. Fred and Wendy’s mother have been friends since they were in school — a long, long time. Fred and Michael were in town and spent the evening catching up and sharing stories about their […]

DINNER 194: Thursday, July 13, 2006

I had a flurry of activity before me this evening when I got home from work. I had to do laundry, take care of the animals, be interviewed over the telephone for an article (to be published next week), cook my dinner (nothing special — just a Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza), get changed and get […]

Life on the Road

I asked my friend Karin, lead singer for the band Over the Rhine, how their recent tour was. I specifically said, “How is the road?”, and she replied as follows…  the road is:long, bumpy, sometimes smooth and straight, but every now and then a slow curve is welcome. it is lonely and yet […]

Reading: The Nasty Bits

I’ve started reading THE NASTY BITS by Anthony Bourdain. I particularly enjoy reading his writing not only because he’s got a great take on food-related subjects and a conversational tone, but because his writing has progressed tremendously since his obnoxious, over-testosteroned memoir called KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL. I’ve only just started THE NASTY […]

DINNER 195: Friday, July 14, 2006

We joined Dave & Robin at the Old Spaghetti Factory this evening for a quiet dinner. Wendy & I had been out most of the nights this week, and were anxious for some downtime. Dinner and conversation was just what the doctor ordered! I had the Manager’s Special — pasta […]
