Josh is an original member of our over-a-decade-old Breakfast Club. Philip is the newest and youngest member. But he really can’t be an ‘official’ member until he owns (and is able to operate) his very own Apple device. It’ll be a while.
Saturday Afternoon Walk
Today’s walk with Jiro was a game of ‘dodge the rain”.
Magic Book!
This arrived in the mail on Saturday. Look out for my home-made DKA’s and cronuts!
Hamilton!
Caught “Hamilton, an American Musical” at Cleveland’s KeyBank State Theater Saturday. So good, I would like to see it again. On Broadway this time.
NYC Case of the Mondays
Monday mood in New York City.
Walking Across the Brooklyn Bridge

A co-worker/good friend from my Canada days was in town so dinner at a local pizzeria (Harvest in old Dublin) was in order.
More Sun-Chasing Shenanigans, Part 2
Jiro continues to find ways to enjoy the sun from inside the house.
Twin Tomahawks
Saturday’s dinner party main course was a pair of 3-lb tomahawk ribeyes, prepared sous vide style and finished on the grill. A second dish of spicy prawns with a spicy lime mango salsa rounded up the surf and turf theme.
Homemade Burgers
Tonight’s dinner: fresh-ground bacon beef short rib burger with grated Pecorino Romano cheese on a toasted brioche bun.
Summer Heat
As the temperature soars, Jiro prefers the cool indoors versus the steamy, sticky outdoors.
Tapas Night
First time at VASO Rooftop Restaurant at AC Hotel Dublin was quite a lovely experience. Food was great (tapas!) and the ambiance was unbeatable. Definitely worth many return trips!
Baked Treats
A custard-filled Cruffin, a bi-color Matcha croissant, a sweet cinnamon chocolate croissant, and a cappuccino to wake things up from Dan The Baker’s Toast Bar. Perfect Saturday morning breakfast fare.
Boodle Fight
Filipino food in Columbus, OH! Tonight’s dinner was not only fantastic, it was also so much fun!
