claire and me: January 2009
http://claireandme.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2009. He Knew We Could. I’ve never heard so many people express the same sentiment before: that they never thought they would see the day come. Not in their lifetimes would it come. The day when a black person would be President of the United States. The day blacks and whites, Natives and Asians would unite behind him, as one, in joy and hope. But I didn’t share that sentiment. I didn’t think the day would never. I know that I sound more than just a little bit naïve when I say.

claire and me: Unwrapping My New Look
http://claireandme.blogspot.com/2009/01/unwrapping-my-new-look.html
Thursday, January 15, 2009. Unwrapping My New Look. I finally revamped my plain-Rainne (as in Wilson. 8212;why should Janes always have to take that rap? The standard blue text/white background number the template gave me reflected my personal. More than my personal. While I don’t dare even dream of possessing the amazingly mad Photoshop skilz that my girl Melanie over at Beanpaste. It’s not like I’m in charge of dropping bombs on the Gaza Strip or anything. One cup of plain popcorn. I think it's darling!

claire and me: November 2008
http://claireandme.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. Where Do We Go From Here? Last week, I received my newsletter from our Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. I scanned it for whatever tidbits of information I thought would still pertain to me—the fallen member who hasn’t attended a service in almost three years. (Being a fallen Catholic has its own issues, but a fallen UU? Perish the thought.) As usual, I noticed the title of Sunday’s sermon: “Where Do We Go From Here? I’d like to know that. For, oh, about eight years now. A...

Exploring Food My Way: Satisfying the Craving: Extra Helpings: Taco Happiness At Taqueria La Loma
http://exploringfoodmyway.blogspot.com/2010/01/extra-helpings-taco-happiness-at.html
Recipes / Other Stuff. The To Eat List. Thursday, January 7, 2010. Extra Helpings: Taco Happiness At Taqueria La Loma. My curiosity was finally piqued and I knew it was time. I already knew that I was going over to my grandmother's today to take care of a few odds and ends. Being that I left right before noon, I decided that I would stop at La Loma and grab lunch to go. After pulling into the parking lot in front of La Loma Supermarket, I snapped a few pictures to start out my adventure. Along with my st...

Exploring Food My Way: Satisfying the Craving: The Market Gourmet At Montrose
http://exploringfoodmyway.blogspot.com/2010/09/market-gourmet-at-montrose.html
Recipes / Other Stuff. The To Eat List. Wednesday, September 1, 2010. The Market Gourmet At Montrose. I was sitting at my desk at work around lunchtime when my cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Joe Harvey, community manager for Local Food Service. I quickly accepted his call. Joe doesn't tend to call just to shoot the breeze, so I figured something must be up. Hey," he quipped. "You've got to check out this new place in Montrose called The Market Gourmet. Joe, where the hell is this place? What I notic...

Exploring Food My Way: Satisfying the Craving: When It Goes From Bad To Worse
http://exploringfoodmyway.blogspot.com/2014/06/when-it-goes-from-bad-to-worse.html
Recipes / Other Stuff. The To Eat List. Monday, June 16, 2014. When It Goes From Bad To Worse. Greetings, gentle readers. The more astute among you may have noticed that the amount of time since my last post has been right around a year. I've posted in the past the reason for the long gaps and what was true then remains true now: I just don't have the luxury of the time required to write this blog on a consistent basis. So what brings me (temporarily) out of retirement today? And Boca Loca Burrito Factory.

BeanPaste: The Pigs, They Are Flying
http://beanpaste.blogspot.com/2010/06/pigs-they-are-flying.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. The Pigs, They Are Flying. So, I'm updating my blog and, given the lame rarity of that event, I'm illustrating it with a flying pig, a flying pig lovingly crafted by Ellie as my Mother's Day gift. She actually just walked past and exclaimed, " Oooooh. Click on my pig! You really LOVE it don't you? But still: I really love this porker, right down to his one pink foot. You know what else I love? At any rate, on to summer! I really hope youre back.). June 14, 2010 at 9:24 AM. Im so gl...

Exploring Food My Way: Satisfying the Craving: An Outrageous Meal At Ken Stewart's Lodge?
http://exploringfoodmyway.blogspot.com/2010/07/outrageous-meal-at-ken-stewarts-lodge.html
Recipes / Other Stuff. The To Eat List. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. An Outrageous Meal At Ken Stewart's Lodge? In a rather bold move, I decided to take on the second of three Ken Stewart restaurants tonight. As with my visit to Tre Belle. As I walked into the front door of Ken Stewart's Lodge. The sun was lingering behind some clouds, the temperature was in the mid-70's and really the only annoyance for the evening was the occasional fly swarming in to see what looked tasty. One of the criticisms I had hea...

Exploring Food My Way: Satisfying the Craving: Restaurants I've Reviewed
http://exploringfoodmyway.blogspot.com/p/restaurants-ive-reviewed.html
Recipes / Other Stuff. The To Eat List. Having now published several hundred reviews of restaurants local to northeast Ohio as well as from my travels, I've had several requests to list them all for easy access. While this would make my Home. Page long and messy, with this new page designated for just such a purpose, it now completely makes sense. Line through their name. If you know of a restaurant that has closed but does not have a line through its name in the list below, please email me. Cleveland, O...

Exploring Food My Way: Satisfying the Craving: Cocktail Nirvana at the Velvet Tango Room
http://exploringfoodmyway.blogspot.com/2009/06/cocktail-nirvana-at-velvet-tango-room.html
Recipes / Other Stuff. The To Eat List. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Cocktail Nirvana at the Velvet Tango Room. If someone had ever told me that my favorite cocktail would be a gin drink, I'd have called them insane. Growing up, I watched my grandfather make gin martinis at home and order them as a pre-dinner cocktail when going out. I would try them from time to time and could never understand why on earth anyone would subject themselves to the pine and juniper berry horror that those drinks offered. One o...
