Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Cowhaus Creamery — Now Downtown Wooster has Artisan Ice Cream

By

Bobby, my husband, and I took a trip to Oberlin this past spring to try Cowhaus Creamery. (You can read about that trip here.)We did so because we had heard the owners, Joe  Bomback and Debby Krejsa, were opening a location in downtown Wooster, Ohio. Unfortunately, they didn't open as quickly as anyone hoped -- them or us. But don't worry, they are open now! Bobby and I had the chance to try them out in their opening day, Friday, September 30th. Before we even stepped inside the … [Read more...]

Downtown Wooster Transforming into Foodie Destination

By

Wendi and I had a chance to visit two new downtown Wooster eateries on Friday: One an Asian-fusion restaurant, and the other an artisan ice cream and sorbet company.

The restaurant, an anchor store in the Merchant Block development, is beautiful inside, and the dishes were beautiful and delicious. The artisan ice cream shop? None other than Cowhaus Creamery, which … [Read more...]

Geneva On The Lake, which is a short drive from the state park, has no shortage of options to … [Read more...]

Osaka: Where Playing with Food is Acceptable 

By

We probably have all been told at least once in our lives to stop playing with our food. I think parents get this phrase passed down from generation to generation. However, the old adage does not apply when your food becomes part of the entertainment. This would be the case if you visit Osaka Asian Restaurant. My husband, Bobby, and I went to the restaurant one Sunday after church this past summer. We met my sister, Randi, and her husband, Shaun there. We were joined by another family of … [Read more...]

End of Summer Reflections 

By

Today, September 6, might be considered the unofficial end of Summer 2016 -- or beginning of Fall depending on if you think of Labor day as the end of Summer. Phew! I don't know about you, but for me and my husband, Bobby, it has been a whirlwind of a season. I thought I might reflect on things a little, partly because I am tired from the weekend, but mostly because I had such a great summer, I kind of want to re-live it. The Beginning of Summer in May -- It started out quiet enough with … [Read more...]
