I have made it a personal goal to try every taco truck in the city. That, along with my sister’s wedding shower, will be my culinary project for the summer. I have no idea if I’ll succeed. But it certainly makes finding cheap, tasty and quick meals a lot more fun. I inadvertently started this [...]

La Popular Taco Truck
Some days, good things just randomly happen. Today was one of those days. Since finding out that Columbus is home to several taco trucks, I have been obsessed with finding and eating at them. Last fall, my husband, two friends and I spent an entire afternoon driving around Columbus looking for the things. I had [...]
It’s Been a Lovely Cruise
Tuesday morning in Key West came too soon. The last day of vacation always does. After a final breakfast at Duval Inn, a taxi took us to the tiny Key West Airport to pick up the rental car. The taxi driver had a lot of suggestions about our drive north on U.S. 1. Chief among [...]
The Place Down the Block, the One With No Clock
The whole time I was in Key West, I had been craving Mexican food. Who am I kidding? I’m nearly always craving Mexican food. While I knew I wouldn’t find the most authentic fare in that part of Florida, I still wanted to try at least one Mexican place. After watching the sunset, we walked [...]
Yes, I am a Pirate
Sunny Key West continued to bless me with rain on Monday. Fortunately, the island offers a plethora of indoor activities in the form of Tourist Traps. I have mixed feelings about such places. I have no problem being a shameless tourist, especially when visiting entertaining and/or tropical locales. At the same time, I don’t want [...]
Barefoot Children in the Rain
Sunday morning, we woke up to warm weather and sunshine – perfect for a day at the beach. Key West has several public beaches; but everyone says the beach at Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park is the best. So we packed our towels and books and walked a pleasant few blocks from our B&B to [...]
Here We Are
Yay! I have a functional computer again, and a zillion and one things I’d like to blog about. So let’s get back to Key West. Our trip down U.S. 1 ended at the Key West airport where we dropped off the rental car. Here’s my second Key West travel tip: stay on the west side [...]
Headed Down U.S. 1
Here’s my first Key West travel tip: Don’t fly to Key West. Seriously. Flights to Key West are stupidly expensive; and the drive down U.S. 1 onto the island is one of the best parts of the trip. You don’t want to miss it. Friday afternoon, we left work and got on a plane. By [...]
Banana Bean Cafe
Tonight, we decided to go out to dinner. I was in the mood for something other than my usual Mexican or Asian dinner picks. Last month, I went to the Banana Bean Cafe with a couple girlfriends. I had a great fish burrito and a blue pineapple-coconut cocktail with a name I can’t recall. Both [...]
The French Loaf
One of the best things about moving to a new city is discovering fun new restaurants and shops. Yesterday, I found one. The French Loaf is located in downtown Grandview Heights in the same shopping plaza as Acorn Books. I’d driven past it several times and thought it was a deli or sandwich place. Yesterday, [...]
