Cincy Chic: What would I do without Amy to tell me that
Ulta is coming to Cincinnati and
Madonna is coming to Macy’s?
Mommy Snacks: I’ve always been curious (but somewhat timid) about shopping at Aldi. Andrea’s
Aldi sale post led me to her
Aldi Store Shopping Tips and now I’ve got to check this store out!
Cooking with Caitlin:
Avacado Whipped Cream. As a huge guacamole fan, I must try this.
My Wine Education: I’ll be honest…my usual summer cocktail is a half-and-half mix of boxed white wine and Looza pear nectar. Michelle tempts me to class it up with her roundup of
four summer cocktails. I think Minted Pomegranate Lemonade would be a perfect use of my overgrown mint plants.
Girlfriendology: I’m not a touchy-feely kind of person, but reading about how to
help a friend through pet loss made me tear up.
Moms Like Me: I’m no mom (maybe I’m a “kitty mama?”), but I can appreciate the
Hot Dads.
Wine Me, Dine Me: Beefy’s dream is to run a food truck serving hamburgers (The Beefy Muchacho). I avidly follow Julie’s food truck posts to pick up tips for Beefy. Her
latest entry talks about pop-up igloos for food truck customers to dine within during the cold months. I wonder if they’ll develop a pop-up adobe house. That would only be appropriate for Beefy’s proposed southwestern burger.
Cincinnati Gardener: I’m delighted that one of my favorite nurseries, Marvin’s Organic Gardens, will begin
receiving compostable waste from local Wal-Mart stores. What a great way to recycle!
Healthy Alter Ego: I’m a big fan of beans. They’re low in calories but high in fiber and nutrition. I usually combine them with rice, but a better option is quinoa. Jo tells us how to prepare this
cheap and mega energy food.
I should be able to repair the shoes, though. The glue that holds the upper to the sole has merely disintegrated with age. A cobbler can paste it all back together.
