When my husband, Bobby and I traveled to New York City in July, we had the opportunity to try plenty of places to eat. Some we had planned to go--like Serendipity 3. We also had an idea of what we wanted to get in New York - - like New York style pizza, "real" bagels and something from a street vendor. (FYI regarding the street vendors, they cost too much - - or at least they do outside of the American Museum of Natural History.) But most of the time, we were just going with the flow. … [Read more...]
Happy B-Lated B-day, Burger!
It wasn't until late Thursday night, July 28, that I found out I missed the birthday of the hamburger. That is the date when Louis Lassen in 1900 served the first hamburger sandwich. (It was out of Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut.) Turns out that we were there on July 27, 2011--but I didn't know it was the birthday then, either. I felt kind of like I did when I realized I had missed National Ice Cream day (July 17). Not exactly sad, but a little disappointed in myself that I hadn't … [Read more...]
Experiencing Serendipity in New York City
In the movie Serendipity, Sara, the female lead said she liked the word Serendipity because it means "fortunate accident." Dictionary.com gives one definition for the word as an "aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident."

Well I guess I shouldn't say that our trip to New York City was an accident, because we … [Read more...]

So, you can probably guess how exciting it is for me to consider this anniversary. July marks a year since I began Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot. I can't believe it has been a year! I have had a great time and I hope you have, too. But in case you are new to me or perhaps don't remember, I want to … [Read more...]
Jerry’s Cafe: Are These the Best Burgers in Orrville?
Back in April, when Bobby and I attended the Inaugural Cupcake Tour, we decided to end our adventure by grabbing a late lunch (or early dinner) at a restaurant in Orrville, Ohio. We really enjoy Ming Hing's lunch buffet, but it was too late for lunch. Our friend, Jessica Robinson, had told us about Jerry's Cafe. She said that they have really good burgers. The truth is that they advertise their burgers as the "best in town." Given my propensity for red meat, especially for burgers, I had to give … [Read more...]
