I get pretty excited about a few things in life: live music, a new gadget, watching my kids laugh, and great food. Last night, my wife and I celebrated 16 years of marriage in my home town of Cincinnati, Ohio. While I was looking forward to reporting on some colorful foods to post, I......we came up a bit disappointed. We dined at a newer local restaurant, Poco a Poco, a Latin tapas-style restaurant right on Hyde Park Square. We ordered tamales, sopas, and clams as appetizers thinking the night was off to a great start, but when the waiter came back to report no Lamb Ribs available at 6:30 p.m., I became concerned. Settling in on the chicken dish while Heather ordered the carne asada, the food was decent, but not the draw dropping succulent fare we were going for. I guess that's what we get for having expectations, huh?!
We topped off the night off at Awakenings Coffee and Wine Bar with a wine tasting mingling with a local barista who looked like a cross between Jerry Garcia and Captain Lou Albano and plays in three local bands. He was hangin' with his buddy who hosts a radical left wing political radio show (uh.....once per week). Fascinating to say the least. Colorful? That's a matter of perspective.
Nonetheless......
It's Mother's Day. We dined at the historic Cincinnati Natural History Museum at Union Terminal. I used to call this place The Hall of Justice Growing up. As an adult, I can appreciate the uniqueness of this historic building.

The Hall of Justice from The Superfriends!
The ceiling inside Union Terminal. More colorful than The Hall of Justice I bet.
Here's today's colorful food......
The aftermath of a breakfast buffet.
Back on track tomorrow.......
Happy Mother's Day Mom!
