In addition to some candy, my friends’ kids get a container full of colored pencils in their Easter basket.
This is a treat I could dig. (Especially after all these cupcakes and ice cream).
Also going down on the farm? Spring chicks have arrived.
One casualty so far, but the others seem to be holding up well.
I didn’t want to show up to a dinner empty handed so I bought a box full of these cupcakes from Yum on the east side. Also, I felt like turning this into a dessert blog.
The cupcakes were devoured quickly and I believe there was some tension when the last chocolate one was gone.
A few more photos from the cupcake factoryI’m (gladly) resurrecting the category for posts called, “This is why I’m fat.”
I’ve lived in Ohio for 40 years and never stepped foot in Aglamesis Brothers. This is a horrible shame and the error has now been corrected.
I know of no other place that makes plain banana ice cream. No chunks of chocolate or nuts mixed in, just plain. This is my favorite variety, and it’s really hard to find.
And their version at Aglamesis? Delicious.
Breakfast-mate Meredith stands in front of the West End Loan I felt compelled to snap because the signage hits all the right notes.
Taste of Belgium Bistro in Over the Rhine has these waffles with Nutella and fruit that cap off breakfast quite nicely. Highly recommended any day of the week.
Breakfast in Kentucky.
Thanks to Maya, I’m participating in the next show at Visionaries + Voices called “Autocomplete.”
In a nutshell, the studio/art space is pairing creative folks with V+V artists for collaborative works.
Black and white drawings are the foundation and the outside artists and designers color them in.
At first I was intimidated by the prospect, but Tom mentioned an approach over lunch and I ran with it.
There are apparently tons of pieces, I can’t wait to see what everyone did.
The show opens on May 10th at Visionaries + Voices in Northside.
I stopped and asked, “Can I take a picture of your ferret?”
And his walking attendant said yes, but as you can see above, the answer is actually no.
Caught Jiro Dreams of Sushi and it was mouth watering.
Best summed up by Naz’s thoughts: Shokunin.
We’ve been getting some doozy storms of late.
Sounds nice on the metal roof of the studio.
And though it might appear that we’ve been lazy of late with no new things on our site,
we’ve been pretty busy behind the scenes. Things are percolating.

My studiomates have a son, and he is now seven years old.
Soon? He will be able to beat me at videogames and I will officially be very, very old.
I’m optimistic for the world he is finding.
Not just because they’ve mixed Legos and Star Wars.
Because of most everything else*.
* Save for politics, “news”, disease, famine, litterbugs, traffic jams, and some other things.
Read over on Yewknee (a favorite place on the internet) that Yee-Haw Industries letterpress studio was closing up shop.
This news was and is sad.
We tried to make a studio trip down before the doors closed but the news came too fast.
We couldn’t make it, so I bought the print above instead: Mary Huff’s Do As I Say Control Hairspray.
Not quite the same as seeing them continue, but my hope is that what was once there continues with those
that made it into new and wonderful things.
Bad Veins release party for their new (and very solid) album The Mess We’ve Made.
I could tell you how awesome these guys are, but I shall defer to Zan who writes lots better about the matter: Support Your Local Poet.
(She also has better photos and does it all classic with real film.)
