Feast of the Assumption

I got another night to feel at home.  I took Ronnie down to Little Italy for the Feast of the Assumption.  Having lived down there 20 years ago, it does feel like home when I go down.  Ronnie and I walked around on the street and he got some clams.  


We then went back to my friends bar.  We got to hang out with old friends who live right next door to the bar.  Ironically, the one guy is dating Ronnie's step cousin.  Small world!  These are guys I knew over 20 years ago.  Then as we were at the bar I got to see the guys in the band who I knew from over 20 years ago.  It was so great to see Philly and her family.  I got to spend time talking to John and catch up with him.  The meatballs and pizza were just as good as I remember from the past.  Ronnie was happy as anything as he got his Tripe (yuck from me).  Listening to Top Dog play brought me back over 20 years and I got to enjoy the music and company.  As we were leaving, one of the best parts was seeing an old friend who just moved back into the apartments there.  

Being down in Little Italy at Lou's was like being at an old friends house.  Sharing it with Ronnie just makes it even better.  Every time I get to share these parts of my life with it it just brings me so much joy.

Bologna Day3- day trip to Modena

 We started off the day sort of late.  Decided to do a day trip to Modena, round trip was under 17 euros total for us both.  We walked to the train station which is literally like 5 minutes from our hotel grabbed a cappuccino water and apricot filled croissant and off we went.  We arrive in Modena less than a half hour later.   look at the pretty streets of Modena Another day another piazza! But we were in Modena and I was in search of balsamic...a tasting a something.  The first store I went in to had very, very high end balsamic you could do a tasting for a price and the cheapest bottle started at 60 Euro.  This was not our balsamic market.  This was a little above where we wanted to buy and we have tasted the really expensive stuff before.  But then we found a reasonable store.  Giuseppe Giusti offers free tastings of their balsamic at all different levels and their vermouth.  It was all fantastic.  We decided on some i...

YY Time with Y-town Friends

This new place is Asian town was a fantastic experience with some wonderful friends.  Ronnie and I got a call dear old friends John, Dave and Dana- from Youngstown and now living in Cleveland- to meet for lunch at a new place called YY Time.  This restaurant is a cool new concept in Asia Town.  You sit and order through a QR code.  Each seat has its own code.  They have street food, skewers, Asian soups, bubble teas and milks so many great choices.  We each ordered an then shared as we love to do.  I cannot wait to return!  Here are the great items we tried that day.   Salty crispy chicken and a fruit bubble tea Rice Noodle soup with braised brisket and one of the specialty crossing the bridge soups.  The noodle soup was amazing.  The flavor of all the broths were just amazing.  My husband and I split ours and It is definitely big enough to split.  And then we all tried a little bit of each others to just have a taste...

GIrls Trip- Alaska

I know know, this blog is all about the fun stuff I do with my husband, but this one blog post is going to be about an adventure I had with the one person I have known the longest in my life- my sister! The trip started with Angela texting one day asking if I wanted to see the Aurora Borealis....I thought sure why not.  And then we booked a trip and here we are. As we were planning I remembered an old friend from my semester at American lives in Fairbanks so I reached out to him for suggestions.  He offered some great ideas on places to go, things to do, and places to eat. Sadly we will not be able to see him and his wife, because they leave for vacation right after we got in town.   So the adventure for me started with a 7:50 text that my flight changed and a rerouting.  I left Cleveland at 1:40 pm and met up with my sister in Seattle at around 7 pacific time for a quick dinner before we parted ways for our flights to Fairbanks (different airlines).  ...
