Cleveland

Fourth of July :)

Every year since we've been in Cleveland we've gone to a little resort town right on Lake Erie - Geneva-on-the-Lake, you get the name LOL - on the 4th of July. It's kind of middle America meets bikers; and it's one street crowded with the most fabulous assortment of people, and lined with all kinds of little shops and entertainment: antiques, tattoo parlors, mini golf, arcades, music, bars, restaurants, donuts, lemonade, souvenirs, etc. Check out the sign for the mini golf course: "The Oldest Miniature Golf Course in the United States in Continuous Play; Est. in 1924." We think that's very cool! Fireworks at 10 pm, everyone stops to ooh and ahh, and a good time is had by all :)

Walking the Labyrinth :)

Ever since we did a sweat lodge last weekend, I've been a little out of sorts. So we went to John Carroll University yesterday to walk the labyrinth. It totally put me back to rights - I immediately felt more grounded and centered, and I feel so blessed that we have such a beautiful thing available to us, practically in our backyard. Thank you, John Carroll :)

Drew Carey Loves Cleveland...

...and so do we!!!

And tonight we love it just a little more, discovering -- by way of Drew Carey's ongoing connection with his hometown -- Antonio's!! (Check out the latest if you haven't heard. The link also has lots of Clevelanders commenting on the best pizza in the area - a definite must read!)

It was amazing, and we have lots of leftovers for later, or tomorrow... or probably both ;)

Thank you, Drew Carey, for turning us on to our new favourite restaurant - you're a good guy, and we love YOU as much as we love Cleveland!!

Antonio's, Parma OH 28 June 08

Cleveland does indeed rock ;)

Culinary Outing :)

There aren't many things that make me happier than a stop at Gallucci's, and I typically wait until I need a few things that I like to get specifically from there... because I can walk out with SO much that I don't need, but must have :) It's always an experience and delights all of my senses! I can get lost in there for hours; yesterday, I was good :) And the experience lives on in the two-bags-full that came home with me. If you live in Cleveland, you probably know Gallucci's. If you come to Cleveland, stop in and wander around - I think you'll be pleased :)

I wish I could make this stuff up.

This recipe comes courtesy of Bach's Lunch, a 1971 cookbook published by the Junior Women's Committee to benefit the Cleveland Orchestra. They sold the book sold for a whole $3.00. Some of its recipes were provided by cooking celebrities of the day, but most of them were favorite recipes of the wives of prominent Clevelanders. Each recipe ends with the name of the person who supplied it.

IDIOT'S DELIGHT
1 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/4 bottle Pickapeppa sauce or Worcestershire sauce
Unwrap cheese and place on a plate. Pour sauce over and serve with English water biscuits.
Mrs. Arthur Modell
