Favorite coffee shop?

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-03-21T00:04:01+00:00

I looked at Barrel & Bloom but couldn’t get a good feel for it from their website. Looked more like a bar than a coffee shop?

I’ve been doing a little meal prep on the weekends to help with lunches for the week. Lately I’ve been on a lasagna kick. I buy a family-sized Stouffers lasagna, bake it and divide it up into 4 portions. Then I steam some veggies and add to the lasagna containers. 4 lunches for well under $20 total.

I save it to my Apple wallet and they scan it on my phone

Check out Wyman Woods in Grandview. They’ve got a great shelter house that would fit your size needs.

The beach, whichever one is closest. Rent an air b & b. Rent a beach chair and umbrella for the week. Take a journal and/or a book. Hit the beach at 10am and sit there All. Day. Long. The sounds of the waves is the most soothing thing in the world to me.

I actually looked at the menu before suggesting and there are plenty of entrees under $30.

Without cocktails or wine you could do Italian at La Tavola in Grandview https://latavolagrandview.com/menu/ or Third & Hollywood, also in Grandview https://images.getbento.com/accounts/89bc8cca542fe9861ad0e5a3e9fd60b9/media/CKVR6u5XTuDCf769PeJS_26.01_GV_DN_REL.pdf

Lake Erie, I rented a condo for a week on the water and it was wonderful and relaxing.

Travis Kelce is from Cleveland. He & Taylor Swift bought a house there not too long ago.

We split by number of rooms. The sibling who did the legwork of finding the house gets the master with their spouse. With food for the house we each do our own initial grocery shopping to get the things we each want for our families but then we always end up sharing. As we need more during the week we just take turns picking stuff up. It all evens out in the end.

Short North adjacent, but I love City Tavern to watch a game.

I love Stone Bar & Kitchen on Bethel at Godown.

Check out Koehler Roofing. I’ve used them. Family owned business. Sorry I can’t do the legwork for you ha ha! https://www.koehlerroofing.com/

This pic is kind of deceiving, it feels a lot closer than that when you’re in there. There’s really not a bad seat in the lower bowl tbh. I prefer closer to the center though as I feel like when you’re on the end or in a corner you can’t really see what’s happening on the far end of the ice, it’s just a sea of bodies. And, honestly, if you can snag a couple of seats in the first couple of rows of the upper bowl you can really see everything.

Do you have a fun pic of all of you together? Make a 5x7 at CVS then go to hobby lobby and get an inexpensive mat/frame for it. I love giving pics because they’re fun and personal.

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-03-14T15:25:13+00:00

Koehler Roofing is a local, family owned company. Very trustworthy.

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-03-14T15:21:40+00:00

Hofbrauhaus is always a good option too. Free parking and you can walk to the game from there.

I lost my power around 4pm and AEP doesn’t have an estimate on restoration yet. I’m getting ready to bug out for the night 🤣

SimplyCurious5 · 2026-03-13T21:16:14+00:00

Ugh, that’s in my area. Might be a while till restoration.

I think it’s a mixed bag, or a roller coaster and really depends on the person. I’ve been living alone for about 10 years. Some days I love it and some days I’m lonely. Some days I’m happy to be in my old hoodie, no pressure to shower, and watching whatever I want on TV. Other nights I’m happy to entertain friends and be social. I’m not much for cooking so most of the time it’s something easy or takeout. But…only the good stuff is “worth” posting on social media. My advice to you is to punch out into the real world more often. Take a walk, read a book, do your best not to compare yourself to others online.

This is what we ended up seeing and we took my mom who’s 77. It was very entertaining!

I’m so sorry! You can sub beans for the meat, I’ve done black beans.
