Name that Dish #3 – ANSWER!

Stephanie — Thu, 17 May 2012 01:14:35 +0000

So I guess that last post stumped my readers, because no one got it right! (Although Rachel from PencilShavingsStudio was VERY close!) The correct answer is: The Salted Caramel Bar from Cafe 501 ! I enjoyed a special lunch there today with two fabulous women (who also happen to be celebrating a birthday) and the …

Name that Dish #3

Stephanie — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:44:51 +0000

This dessert knocked my socks off! But can you guess what it is (and where it’s from)? First correct guess (must be commented ON THIS SITE and include dessert name and restaurant) wins a Keep It Local Card! Good Luck! (fine print: If you are a previous winner, you are ineligible to win) …

What would YOU do?

Have an interesting scenario. What would YOU do? Couple is invited to a “soft” opening for new restaurant (Complimentary meal to help the staff get ready for the actual opening) . When they arrive, they restaurant is overbooked, so they are surprisingly seated at four-top table that already has another couple at it. What would …

Oh, I AM mom enough. To say NO.

Warning: You may not like my point of view here. It’s OK to disagree, just keep it civil, please. Today’s release of the latest issue of Time Magazine is creating a LOT of buzz around the mommy blogosphere. The reason is this: Debates over breastfeeding, specifically in public, are nothing new. I recently saw an …

You are what you eat

So for those of you that don’t know me IRL, I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic. When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, I would satisfy my chocolate cravings (and to prevent myself from gaining 100lbs), by purchasing a bag of Reece’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups, and would eat only three per day. It satisfied …

New Review – Sushi Neko

Stephanie — Tue, 08 May 2012 19:19:09 +0000

Ever since my dad introduced me to sushi about a decade ago, I have been hooked. I’ve tried just about every type of roll, from the standard Philadelphia Roll to the exquisite Rainbow and Dragon Rolls, everything has such simple yet fabulous flavors. My only disappointment is that my fabulous spouse does not have the …

Summer is almost here…

Stephanie — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:15:03 +0000

Last week, I was certain we had skipped Spring and were headed right for Summer, as the daytime high temps soared to 85degrees plus each day. And with the sweltering heat knocking at our doorstep, it’s the beginning of cranking up the AC, which means high electricity bills. By know you have probably heard about …

NOT from a box Macaroni & Cheese

Stephanie — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:46:37 +0000

As I’ve mention in previous posts, my girls would rather eat food cooked by mom than fast food any day. Never mind that “cooked by mom” dishes include boxed macaroni & cheese. But this Lent, I decided to venture into the unknown and make homemade mac & cheese for the first time. (For someone who loves to …

April 19, 1995

Stephanie — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:05:53 +0000

This date is etched into the minds and hearts of most Oklahomans. The question is often asked “Where were you when the bombing occurred?” I remember the day well, but I’m not sure it matters. What matters are those families whose lives were torn apart by a senseless act of violence. It has been 17 years …

New Review- The Shack, Seafood & Oyster Bar

Stephanie — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:21:29 +0000

I have grown to enjoy Cajun cuisine over the years, especially traditional dishes like Crawfish Etouffee, Jambalaya, or Gumbo. And as luck would have it, there is a restaurant close to my office that serves up such delicacies. The Shack, Seafood & Oyster Bar, located just south of NW 63rd street near Robinson, is rather unassuming from …
