I went to Mozart's for the first time last night. It's this upscale bakery, piano bar, Austrian restaurant in Clintonville off N High St. I went there during Happy Hour and enjoyed a Madtree PsycHOPathy which they have on draft.

I first listened to the soundtrack in the summer of 2014 and laughed out loud in my car to the lyrics. It's a laugh out loud type of… Continue reading Favorite Broadway Musicals
Today I decided to bake some cookies. I opened up my cookie cookbook and turned to a neat recipe that I customized based on my liking. If I were to bake these cookies again, I'd divide the recipe in half because I was able to make 3 dozen cookies and that's a lot. I also wouldn't… Continue reading Oatmeal chocolate chip drop cookies
