January 28, 2014 Jeni’s

Jeni’s ice cream is made in Columbus, OH. Apparently they make great ice cream in Ohio, ’cause my other favorite ice cream is Graeter’s ice cream, and they are located in Cincinnati, OH. My new favorite store, Bees Knees, carries a bunch of flavors in the jeni’s line. There is no better flavor combination than […]

In addition to specialty goods, Bees Knees also hosts a deli and cafe where you can order a sandwich or grab a smoothie to go. They have an extensive wine […]

January 9, 2014 Setting the Table

At my company, we have a book club. We meet every few months and read a service related book. This past time, we chose Setting the Table by Danny Meyer. There has been a lot of buzz about this book, how it talks about the hospitality business, but it can apply to many other areas […]

December 30, 2013 Designs by Maya

I wrote before about this great little shop that sells hand painted driftwood. Maja found my post and reached out. When we returned to Aruba this year, we wanted to meet her in person! These fish are new pieces! They were at a craft festival for the first few days we were on the island, […]

December 26, 2013 SOWA Holiday Market

This year we decided to spend $15 per person (instead of the regular $5 per person general admission price) to shop an hour earlier than the public. Totally worth it, as it can get crowded! This year’s event (it’s the holiday market’s 10th year!) was held at the Benjamin Franklin Institute at 41 Berkeley Street. […]

December 9, 2013 Crumbnut

Well, we tried Cafe de Boston’s version, and now, here is the Crumb’s knockoff of the cronut, the “crumbnut”. While I was bummed out that we were only able to snag the plain version, they were out of the cream or jelly filled kinds, I still ate this pretty happily. The crumbnut was light and […]

December 5, 2013 Crumbs

I LOVE Girl Scout cookies, I wish they sold them year round. I buy boxes of them and put them in the freezer. It’s a problem…So I was excited when I walked into Crumbs and they had Girl Scout cookie cupcakes! The peanut butter cookie cupcake, better known as Do-si-dos. A side note, Girl Scout […]

November 27, 2013 Mantry

A friend/coworker of mine just got married. He’s an avid pickler and an amazing cook/baker. Of course my wedding present was going to be food related! I picked the happy couple up a Le Creuset French Oven in the beautiful Marseille color and I also found this great food subscription service, Mantry. I buy one […]
