My husband, Bobby, and I really enjoy the Food Network's show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Mostly because it gives us a look at out-of-the-ordinary types of food and because the restaurants are unique and well loved by the locals. Probably because we like to try new places, we jumped at the chance to join our friends, Ron and Jan Maxwell, in trying Bella Sera Pizzeria and Ristorante in Massillon, Ohio. The Maxwell's had not been to the restaurant either. They had heard about the pizzeria … [Read more...]
I Ran My First 5K and Lived to Tell About It
On Saturday, Wendi (my wife and founder of this blog) and I ran the Ashland YMCA Fritter 5K. While I have run the distance before in high school (not as part of a sanctioned race) and have walked a couple 5Ks, this was my first time running a 5K, if you can call it that. I think you can because, as my brother-in-law Shaun Vahl says, "If you have two feet in the air, you are running." So, how did I get there? My new physician encouraged me. My primary care physician had moved his practice … [Read more...]
Simply Having a Wonderful Wooster Time
When the city editor at The Daily Record, Jarred Opatz, went on vacation, I put in a lot of hours trying to fill his shoes. The job seemingly never ends, and I had a lot of overtime when he was gone. So, with Jarred back, I decided to take Friday off, and Wendi was able to get the day off, too. I wanted to go to Raising Cane's in Columbus (a place that specializes in hand-breaded, deep-fried chicken tenders), but Wendi preferred staying close to home. So, we compromised: We stayed close to … [Read more...]
Music, Food, Fun & Friends at Fiore’s
My husband, Bobby and I have driven by Fiore's in Wooster for years on our way to RKO. We've even gone by when they have had bands playing on the patio, but we've never stopped. That is until Friday, July 28, when a Pat Benatar tribute band was playing. The name of the band is Invincible: A Tribute to Pat Benatar and the '80s. Bobby loves to listen to live music. I love '80s music. The weather was great, even a little cool for a July evening. The band was awesome. Bobby had such a good time … [Read more...]
Bomba Tacos & Rum Brings Caribbean Flavors to Northeast Ohio
When my husband, Bobby, and I went to Fairlawn, Ohio a couple of weeks ago, we were trying to decide where to eat lunch. We ended up at The Melt Bar and Grilled, which you can read about here, but had tossed around the idea of going to Bomba Tacos & Rum. We had never been there, but it sounded interesting. So when my niece, Ashley, and I were in Fairlawn the next week, Bobby suggested we try Bomba's without him. While I rely on Bobby to get pictures, I agreed to do my best. After we … [Read more...]
