We always topped ours with potato chips, you know, cause this isn’t salty enough already.

Most important thing I ever learned with making Ravioli, whether homemade or store bought is to back off the temperature on the boiling water a touch. You don’t want the witch cauldron rolling boil you use for dried spaghetti for fresh pasta, it’ll destroy it, and you’ll get flat ravioli. Gently boiling water gets…

My popcorn popper is my microwave and a brown paper bag that came in a pack of 50 for $1. :)

Honestly I think Italian-American is one of the better cuisines for chain restaurants. I mean, sometimes you just want a little red sauce and a pile of pasta, and when you do you don’t want it fooled around with too much. And while the meat dishes at Maggiano’s are definitely pricey, the two for one pasta dish thing…

I still remember the day I ate my best sandwich ever. I was working stage crew for a community theatre production of Annie in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Given that I was only doing this because they were short a crew member and needed someone to cover I wanted to treat myself to a good lunch. So I walked into this place for…

Simple. Buy this knife block.

As soon as I get my order I’ll report back.

This is completely bonkers. I’m ordering some.

Drinks are really my go to thing when I’m sick, as I am at the moment. Every cold I get usually makes me want to chug as many hot beverages as I can because my theatre days made me hate laryngitis. As with all comfort food situations my tastes skew as nostalgic as possible. Which means I reach for this:

Don’t think the image loaded for some reason. This cider here.

I appreciate the way these guys steer into the sweet cider skid

I mean, I understand hating what Tapas are in America... I remember when they weren’t popular they were pretty close to the Spanish idea cheap delicious food to keep you drinking. Now though, in Ohio of all places you can find people charging you upwards of $14 for a “small plate” this from a food tradition that…

I may have hallucinated, and I certainly didn’t trust myself with the deli slicer by the end of the day. Also I can’t listen to that song anymore without having flashbacks.

I’ve had worse. One day at the grocery store I worked at the music got stuck all day in a five minute loop that included only Tina Turner’s Private Dancer and the intro, but not the words to, Sweet Caroline.

If we’re showing our favorite Red Army Choir videos, this is mine

Ugh. Apologies from a Clevelander folks, most Indians fans are really nice people. These are the same people who probably voted to allow those factories to dump runoff into our river. These people are the real mistakes on the lake. There’s no excuse for that awful logo. The name however, has a fairly good reason for…

You know who that reminds me of.

I’m...honestly so relieved it’s fine to think Sean Penn’s a jerk again. Hooo... it’s been awhile. I mean, he’s been a self absorbed nutbag this whole time but he was doing charity work so I had to shut up. Sooo glad Robin Wright dropped his ass.

Though so, thank you for this, having spent a few years working a deli/seafood job in my post collegiate ennui phase, it brought back some nice memories.

Since I had to go to the Yelp page after reading this... is this your menu?
