What Does One Do on President’s Day?

Posted on 15 February, 2016 by Tina

I started mine off by sleeping until 7:30 a.m., then several hours of social media.  By 10:30 I jumped in the shower to get ready for lunch at Barbacco.  I had a $50 dining certificate from Open Table that was burning a hole in my pocket.  I’d considered saving it to use in either Honolulu … Continue reading »

Kiss Me, I’m Irish!

Posted on 28 March, 2015 by Tina

Saturday morning I had a reservation at Red Gravy for breakfast.  This restaurant is owned by an East Coast Italian woman, the red gravy refers to marinara sauce and it’s located just across Canal Street in the Central Business District.  On Yelp and Tripadvisor, there have been numerous complaints about the service, rudeness and the owner, … Continue reading »

Oinkeroo Rides Again

Posted on 14 January, 2014 by Tina

So there’s this Italian waiter at an Italian restaurant that’s my friend on Facebook.  He sent me a message telling me about this 4-course prix fixe Italian dinner with wine pairing at Ristorante Milano for $85, including the wine!  Casatellani Winery out of Pisa, Italy would be introducing their wines with each of the courses. … Continue reading »

This Is For You, Nicola!

Posted on 22 June, 2013 by Tina

This afternoon I made a little stop at my favorite burger place, Pearl’s.  I’m dedicating this post to Nicola because, when he was here studying English last year, he’d asked me about a good burger place.  I suggested Pearl’s, as well as showing him where it was. He confessed to having gone there THREE times … Continue reading »

Just Got Paid

Posted on 18 May, 2013 by Tina

Remember that song by Johnny Kemp? Well, yesterday was pay day for me, so I had an urge to go out for a few drinks last night. After work, I went to one of my favorite places, Panta Rei, and sat at the bar. The restaurant was rather quiet right after work, but the place … Continue reading »

The Italians Will Be Thankful

Posted on 28 March, 2013 by Tina

You lucked out.  You probably won’t hear me throw Italian words in this blog here and there, and you won’t even hear me ramble on about Italian class for the next month and a half.  Although my intentions were to enroll in Italian 3 this semester, fate would have it otherwise.  When I returned from … Continue reading »

Language Lessons Learned

Posted on 23 February, 2013 by Tina

In my most recent Italian class, we’re learning to use the indicative imperfect verb form.  The teacher gave us sheets of paper asking us what we wanted to do when we were children, what we did at our house, what fears we had, what we did at school, what we weren’t allowed to do and … Continue reading »

Musical Monday

Posted on 11 February, 2013 by Tina

 You know what today is, my little chickadees?  Yup, it’s Musical Monday.  “Damn!” you’re thinking to yourself, “I’d hoped that she was joking.”  Today I’m going to assail your ears with a little Italian reggae.  Yes, you heard correctly.  Italians can do reggae.  Take a listen to this, especially because it’s going to tie in … Continue reading »
