Tom and I are always open to trying new places to eat, so when Jackie and John suggested PIT BBQ Grille we agreed. We have been going over to their house and working on Saturdays, so they pay us back by buying us lunch. Jackie says it is cheaper than hiring landscapers. Of course, we …
From Places to Eat
Silk Road Asian Cuisine in Lewis Center, Ohio
Tom and I recently tried Silk Road Asian Cuisine as a new restaurant. I haven’t been writing about places to eat much because we aren’t eating in any restaurants. When we get takeout, we tend to get food from places that are familiar. After all, half the fun of trying a new restaurant is eating …
Teriyaki Madness: Big Bowls of Awesome
As I mentioned last week, Tom and I have started ordering delivery. This last week we had delivery from Teriyaki Madness, a new restaurant at Polaris. Life has been so monotonous for so long that we are looking for anything to brighten it up and make it more interesting. Thus our new interest in ordering …
Fried Chicka Bang Food Delivery
This last week Tom and I tried two new things: Fried Chicka Bang, a new place to eat, and DoorDash, a food delivery service. John and Jackie have been doing food delivery a lot since the pandemic started, but Tom and I usually go and pick our food up. We are so close to so …
Big Walnut Grill in Sunbury, Ohio
When my parents came down to visit on my birthday, we had lunch at the Big Walnut Grill in Sunbury, Ohio. It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day. Totally unseasonable for November 10. Because it was so nice, we were able to eat on the large, open patio at the restaurant. It was lovely to …
Carrot Cake for my Birthday
I like a good carrot cake. Something moist and a little chewy. It can have coconut or pineapple in it as long as those items add texture and moisture but don’t dominate the flavor. Raisins are fine – nuts are not. And, of course, that is the problem with most carrot cakes. For some reason …
Giammarcos Italian Restaurant in Westerville
When John and Jackie came over to celebrate my birthday, I picked takeout from Giammarcos Italian Restaurant for our dinner. The coronavirus means we don’t eat in restaurants, which is half the fun. It also makes for more interesting reading in the blog. But I still wanted to try out this new-to-us place to eat. …
Fried Bologna Sandwiches in Waldo, Ohio
After the adventure of visiting the Marion Cemetery, we headed to Waldo Ohio for fried bologna sandwiches. I’m not sure how something at a restaurant gets to be “famous.” At least they don’t say “world-famous.” I’m also not sure how Mom and Dad heard about these famous fried bologna sandwiches. But it sounded like a …
Annas Greek Cuisine in Columbus
Tom and I recently tried Annas Greek Cuisine for the first time. Our daughter-in-law, Jackie, is always trying to expand our food horizons. She suggested getting takeout from Annas Greek Cuisine and we agreed to look at the menu. Although there were lots of Greek options (foods I have never tried) there were also menu …
Bergman Orchards on the Catawba Peninsula
We have stopped by Bergman Orchards twice in two months as we returned home from our adventure days. We have always stopped at Bergman Orchards on our way home from Lakeside and we did last month. But I didn’t know there was more than one location. Turns out there are three locations and we stopped …
