Spring is here in Ohio for good! My wife and I took the opportunity last week to enjoy the warmer morning weather at a local arboretum. Cox Arboretum is a great place to visit in Dayton, Ohio, especially as flowers … Continue reading
Short ribs aren’t the same as other ribs. I’m not going to get into the technical stuff, but the short ribs are from the area on a steer that would correspond to spare ribs on a pig. Part of what … Continue reading
This year, I’ve really enjoyed the Christmas or winter brews that are available. I’ve always been partial to English ales, and Ridgeway does a series of ales each year for Christmas that are great. I first had a Insanely Bad … Continue reading
