More and more of us are discovering more ways to have things delivered to the house. So why not produce?

Windy found this really cool service called Perfectly Imperfect Produce.  It's quite simple, you order and they deliver produce, veggies and fruits to your house weekly. This supports local farmers and producers.  This is produce that is "imperfect" for the stores.  But we can't find anything with it that is wrong. It's kind of like buying from a produce stand in the summer time.  The food is GREAT and the price is too.  Should be noted, this produce would more than likely go to waste without this service and your business.

Our First Dinner With It Was Delish!  Those peppers were amazing!

The box shows up with a nice selection of fruits and veggies, and you don't really know what's coming.  And that's part of the fun. We are going to keep doing this long after all this stuff is over. We are hooked on it.  And it helps you cook better as you can look for new ways to cook new things you may not have bought yourself at the store.

Sign up on line and give it a try. Perfectly Imperfect Produce

Please support local eateries during this tough time.

Windy and I LOVE Blasiole's in Streetsboro!  They have really great pizza.

I love local pizza and this is really great local pizza.  We went with a supreme this time, but the white and standard pies are great too.   Plus, they have a really nice menu to choose from.

Theater long term troubles too

As I was driving through Hinckley the other day, I saw this situation.  And of course I had to stop and see what this was all about, and it was pretty simple. Seems someone forgot they were too tall and well....

Yesterday as I was driving into work to do the show at 3AM, I realized I forgot my phone and wallet at home, and I was ticked off at myself for that error.  So I had to turn around and go back home and get them, making me about 30 minutes behind in my morning routine getting ready for the show.  Then I remembered this scene.

Oh My......

I felt better.  My day could have gotten off to that start......

We have all noticed many things during this strange time in our lives.  In fact, we may be more observant now as we have more time to be so.

With all the news coverage rightly targeted at the pandemic, it's hard to get away from it.  I get swept up in it too as it has temporarily changed our lives.  But today I stopped and thought of something that maybe we have not thought about as much recently to no fault of our own.  There are plenty of people we all know who are battling illnesses or problems that have nothing to do with the virus.  Many of them fight their battle in private, some not, but it's a battle nonetheless.  And with enemies that have been around far longer than CoronaVirus.

I went out and chipped some golf balls the other day, looked down and really noticed this bracelet that has been on my wrist. I'm wearing it these days, as I know a few people taking on cancer.  And their fight is no less important than this virus.  And of course the incredible health care people taking care of them, are just as heroic.  I'm sure you know someone, who is taking on a health enemy somewhere, whether it's physical or emotional and they are in your thoughts every day. 

I reminded myself that even though these ongoing and never ending battles rage everyday in hospitals and clinics all over the country - you are not forgotten.  And In most cases, these fights will continue on long after this virus has been beaten, as they were here long before its birth.  

We will keep you in our thoughts with the same vigor as always, even though you are not on the news, or in the headlines.  Keep up the good fight.  And if you are in the war against the virus, God bless, and thank you too.

Whether you are getting the care, or administering it - Thank you! You are not forgotten!

During this time of quarantine we are all cooking more and eating more.  We are all looking for new things to make and bake.  Much of it tasty.

But do we need this?

Over the past few days there has been the huge thing about posting your senior pics from high school in support of the graduating class of 2020.  They of course will not have the traditional graduation virtually all of us us had.

I'm not really sold on the "support" thing.  But I do feel badly that their special time is not going to be available to them, and that's a shame. It is a very special time in your world, and a one time deal. But there is nothing that can be done,  and that's the pity of it.  My guess would be that prom support pics are coming next, and so on. 

Sheesh!

I think we do this to give us a distraction from the junk that's going on, and for a few moments it probably works.  The hunting for the pics, the posting, the comments, of course it's fun.  And I think that's all it was. Fun for the poster mostly.  Of course there is the "don't give out too much info" thing to consider too.

We can all use a diversion every now and again.  And a stroll down memory lane for many, is just that.

Love giving love to the local restaurants in the area, and one that Windy and I tried over the weekend was a really cool place in Aurora called The Mason Jar Grill And Pub  It's owned by mom Maxine, and son Dan Collier.  I talked with them yesterday on the phone to ask them if it was OK to write this, and I told them we loved the food. They are really nice people, and are also Portage County-ans.

The Mason Jar is at 329 Garfield Road in Aurora, and this was the first time we had ever had their food.  They are doing pick-up only right now, as they are a small operation.  But our quick visit there will not be our last journey there as it looks like a really fun place.  Very quaint, very nice, and the food was incredible. Windy had a gyro that looked and tasted terrific, and I had a GIGANTIC burger with Swiss that was delicious.

Burgers~!!

They have a real nice regular menu, that features burgers, sandwiches, and the stuff you would expect from place like this. Also a large selection of salads, and apps too.  A nice bar, and a cool setting make this a real fun place to go.

Please support Maxine and Dan, these are good people, and if you are in the Portage County area, try some takeout soon.  Good food, good people and a good thing to do.

Regular Menu -

Please support LOCAL RESTRAUNTS!
