Greetings one and all! I am so incredibly thrilled to begin this post by saying “Happy end of August! We are now in the final third of 2020!” It has been rough. Realistically, a lot of what has been tough about this year isn’t the kind of thing that will just disappear, so remember to…
Here we are, rounding the corner of July and heading into August. That means it’s time for my favorite kind of post: an allergy friendly review. With the pandemic keeping me inside, there hasn’t been a ton of opportunity for eating out. There are really only a handful a places I’ve been supporting throughout quarantine.…
I know I’m not alone when I say the last weeks have been tough. Life in the state of Ohio is constantly in flux with new safety regulations. Luckily, I’m still in a position where my workplace is creating opportunities for me to come in and make money. Other businesses don’t have that luxury. With…
I grew up in the Cleveland area. Columbus is amazing and I feel at home here, but a part of me will always belong to the CLE. Melt Bar & Grilled is first and foremost a grilled cheese place. I remember going to the original Melt in Lakewood and appreciating the aesthetic. With assorted holiday…
Well friends, we’ve made it almost an entire month into 2020! How’s it going? I’ve been overwhelmed by both stressors and blessings so far this year, but either way I’m looking forward to the change I hope is coming. One of the best distractions from all of that has been this blog. I’m grateful for…
Christmas ended yesterday and I went back to work today. With 2020 settling in, I’m now looking forward to the next big thing. In my life, that’s Ohayocon 2020. Ohayocon is a three-day anime convention in downtown Columbus and it’s this weekend! I’m so excited to once again be surrounded by thousands of nerds and…
With the holidays still in full swing, travel is almost certainly a given. I had one Christmas party in Maumee yesterday, followed by another in Cleveland last night! It’s been pretty crazy. As much as we all love the beautiful home-cooked meals that flood our Instagram feeds this time of year, sometimes you just need…
Last month, I wrote to you all about my amazing experience at Pierogi Mountain in German Village (a month already!?). That means it’s time for yet another restaurant review! Lemongrass is an Asian fusion bistro found in the heart of the Short North. Located on the corner of Russell and High, it blends in quietly…
Growing up, pierogis were a staple. With a Polish grandmother, it was almost a given. I have so many fond memories of sitting around the table with my family eating pierogis. One in particular is a time my dad challenged me to fit a whole one in my mouth and, much to my mother’s dismay,…
When I found out about my egg allergy, going out to eat was the most intimidating concept in the world. I didn’t even know where to begin. When I finally found the courage to give it try, it was almost more overwhelming than I feared. It turns out that there are a surprising number of…
