May The Stars Light Your Way
This evening, Angel, one of the castmembers of the show I’m directing (DINNER WITH FRIENDS for Falcon Theater), and I met for a dinner of Indian food at AMBAR INDIA in Clifton, very near where we both work and close to our rehearsal space. We enjoyed…
Tonight, Wendy & I used a couple gift certificates (thanks Bill!) for TGI Friday’s restaurant. Wendy enjoyed her “Baked Potato Soup” and “Double Stacked Quesadillas”, stuffed with chicken, cheeses, onions & peppers. I took part in Friday’s $13 for three courses deal and had pot-stickers…
On Sunday evening, we ate with Paul & Julie at a local sushi place — KABUTO. It’s a festive place — when you walk in the door, the first thing you see is a wall full of photographs of people who have celebrated at the restaurant, everything from birthdays to anniversaries.

On Saturday night, Wendy & I went to see Falcon Theater‘s production of KEELY & DU at the Monmouth Theater in Newport Kentucky. We drove down to Newport a little early to eat at LaRosa’s, a Cincinnati-based Italian restaurant. Wendy enjoyed her JoJo’s Salad — a…
Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t journaling my food for this year. As a ‘foodie’ and trained culinarian, I feel that there is the expectation that each meal (well, dinner at least) that Wendy & I eat should be dramatic. Glamorous, even. Here’s the harsh reality,…
Wendy is feeling better from her recent trip to Dr. Toothy, so we finished up the leftovers (Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Caramelized Shallots & Red Wine and Parslied Potato Puree) from the other night. It was almost as good as the first time!
Wendy wasn’t feeling great after a visit to her dentist (Blue calls his “Dr. Toothy“), so our original plan of eating the left-over beef tenderloin was scrapped in favor of hot, comforting soups and noodle dishes from Lulu’s, a local noodle shop. Wendy liked her…
