Goettafest- Aug 4, 2009

Since Kim's mom denies goetta's German origins, it must really just be a Cincinnati product. Someone said 95% of the world's goetta is consumed in Cincinnati, USA. Ha! So in honor of this random patty of random meat and oats, the yearly Goettafest attracts throngs of Cincinnatians.

Cincinnati in All It's Glory- Aug 2, 2009

It'd been over 2 years since I'd last walked over the purple people bridge and it was a fantastic, sunny day to do so. Missy, Patty, and I marveled at how nice the river looked on this particular day and enjoyed some al fresco dining in Newport.

Asian People Biking- Aug 1, 2009

BIking fever is taking over Asians in Cincinnati. Everyone's buying a bike. After not riding since middle school, Patty jumped in and Marian soon followed. The Loveland Trail calls.

Grillin' Out for my birthday- July 11, 2009

I love a good bbq and having people over to just hang out and eat some meat. While it was a little rainy outside, we still had a good time at the house. Kim out-did herself with homemade gazpacho and some other tasty delights. I contributed with some "Pungria," a cross between punch and sangria. Yummy.

Nectar and my birthday- July 11, 2009

Cincinnati is actually a great place for good local restaurants and Nectar is a good example. Its changing menu features local foods and produce and it has a cute ambiance. Of course, it's also nice to have a great group of friends to try different places with.

Jungle Jim's Fun- July 10, 2009

Jungle Jim's is what I like to call the Disneyland of grocery stores. You can get almost anything you want there from international delights to fresh vegetables. Good times.

Pre-4th of July Celebration- July 3, 2009

We finally made it out to Knotty Pine on the Bayou and it was a fun culinary adventure. Crawfish, frog legs, etouffee. After, Cathy, Patty, Heather, and her husband headed to bed and Missy, Ndidi and I met up with some of the medicine boys in Northside for the Northside Rocks pre-4th of July celebration. While they weren't the bands we expected, the "fire people" were oddly entertaining.
