An enchanting setting surrounds this week's family home. This small white dwelling sits on a private one-acre piece of land in a beautiful river valley and lives among mature maples, walnut, plum and cherry trees as well as proud standing white and red pines. The owner's favourite is a monumental Scotch pine.
He already renovated the interior of the house. Outside, he added new windows and a front door. The next step was to change the roof, the siding and obtain a desirable curb appeal.
A solid charcoal or twotone black and charcoal roof would be a wise choice. It is less harsh than all black and goes with everything from warm to cold tones. For the new siding, I propose a darker sand tint. If the actual surface is in good shape and the budget is tight, it could be painted in the same sandy colour with an exterior acrylic product in a matte finish.
The triangular shapes on both sides of the main building and the black panels underneath the two left windows will be the same shade also. For contrast and accent, new black shutters will be installed on most of the windows and an oxblood red door will have a slight sheen finish. A bold black light fixture and vertically placed bigger address numbers are small details that make a big difference.
An ample porch and overhang addition will undoubtedly be a useful addition and will visually maximize the size of the house. White thick square posts and a relief detail on the face of the smallest roof make the structure look strong and decorative at the same time. The garden shed ought to mimic the new home's colouring but its door should be black.
New beds around the foundation and the walkway should be defined either with neutral concrete blocks or treated smooth wood beams covered with opaque acrylic sand-coloured stain.
On the left side of the door, a chunky, bell-shaped black ceramic planter with drainage under the base will contain an exotic Fuchsia plant filled with red trumpet blooms and will tantalize an occasional hummingbird. In this design, I introduced fresh green and lime foliage like the Physocarpus Dart's Gold, the lime Heuchera perennials and the yellow green sweet potato cascading annuals. These are mixed with red and white flowers from some annuals in the flower box and the candles of the Polygonum Affine ground cover near the path. The Polygonum and the Heucheras requires rich and well drained soil as well as a divider between them. A line of red Spireas on the left will anchor the facade.
Amid all this vastness, I imagined a more intimate mini-oasis of calm situated in the small empty area near the porch - a cosy outdoor room where one could sit on a bench, take a few sips of fresh coffee, read the last pages of a captivating book or simply appreciate the view from that side of the house.
This floor space, enclosed by the new walkway and the border near the driveway, will be filled with pea gravel at the base and a thinner layer of soil on top. A soft carpet of moss-like yellow ground cover will surround levelled flagstones and will tickle any bare feet with its dots of white blossoms.
Three rocks of different sizes will snug up to the weeping Caragana. The biggest one will lie a bit on the back and left of the trunk. The other smaller stones will be closer together, one in front and the other on the right side of the tree. Three to five Hemerocallis Stella Ruby, with their red petals and yellow heart, will bloom for most of summer and their leaves will sway with the wind. These plants will need more soil around their roots.
An inky black deep flower box ought to be custom-made to fit the width of the last window on the right. Red and white annuals will be accompanied by bright yellow green sweet potato cascading leaves.
A peaceful secluded area, a breath-taking view, a comfortable warm home and clean simple landscaping design will make all this commuting to work worth it!
Vegetation (from left to right):
- Physocarpus Op. Dart's Gold (shrub, yellow)
- Spirea Jap. Dart's Red (shrubs, hedge foundation )
- Heuchera Lime Rickey (walkway)
- Polygonum Affine (peren-nials, red candles, walkway)
- Fuchsia Gartenmeister Bonstedt (annual, red, pot)
- Caragana Arborescens Pendula (ornamental tree, yellow)
- Arenaria Verna (moss, yel-low green, white, between stones)
- Hemerocallis stella Ruby (3 to 5 perennials, red+ yellow heart)
- Ipomoea Batatas (annual, yellow green, flower box)
Most homes can use a little help when it comes to warming up their curb appeal.

This is the stuff movies are made of.
This is the stuff movies are made of.
When Christian Lopez stepped on the Mizzou Arena floor just before 9 p.m. on Saturday night, he was a young man carrying a huge weight on his shoulders. A state title sat in the balance, not only for him personally, but for his team as well.
The roar of the crowd was deafening. His heart raced a bit. The sound from those clad in black and gold told him how real this moment was. He was ready to seize it, he told himself.
He did.
With his Neosho Wildcats trailing Kearney 152-148 entering the 220-pound championship at the MSHSAA State Wrestling Championships, Lopez stepped on the mat knowing he was the last line of defense, the final hope, so to speak, that the Wildcats had to claim the state title. They needed a win to share the state crown with the Bulldogs, a loss leaving both Lopez and the Wildcats short of their state title dreams.
Lopez stared not only into the eyes of those 100-plus fans in the stands, but also one of the best wrestlers the 220-pound weight class has to offer in McDonald County's Jordan Moffett.
But after being beaten by the big man three times this season, Lopez, still reeling from his win over Moffett in the district title match last week in Willard, scored an escape in the ultimate tie breaker in overtime and escaped Moffett, 3-2, to send himself and the Wildcats to a state title. Officially, the Wildcats are co-champs as both teams finished with 152 points.
That's the first time since 1978 that MSHSAA has awarded dual champions. It's also Neosho's third team title in four years.
"The feeling was great," Lopez said. "I haven't felt a feeling like that in a very long time. Moffett is a very, very good wrestler. He's one of the toughest wrestlers I've ever wrestled. It's just amazing."
That's an understatement.
Moffett closed his prep career at 45-2, with both losses coming against Lopez.
It was an amazing finish to an amazing tournament for the Wildcats. Every match proved to be vital, but their prospects at getting back to the pinnacle appeared to dim on Friday when some shocking upsets perhaps left them a bit more short-handed than they'd expected.
But those still remaining on Saturday wrestled their hearts out. Lost in the excitement of Lopez's match was the state championship claimed by fellow senior Nate Rodriguez, the third state title of his career and win No. 210 of his career -- a school record. Rodriguez also became the first four-time state finalist in Neosho history and the first three-time champion, according to coach Jeremy Phillips.
Rodriguez's win was magnified even greater in that it came over Blake Clevenger of Kearney, 6-3.
"I knew the kid was going to be coached up," Rodriguez said. "I just knew that first period was going to be a battle."
It was a special win for Rodriguez, who is leaving his Wildcat career on top.
"It's special for me because I remember how special it was for those seniors when we won it in the past. It puts it in perspective. It feels good. It feels amazing."
Phillips said he'd been getting plenty of well-wishes from NHS alumni and fans all week, and that his team wanted to win not only for themselves, but for those who came before them as well.
"I told several of our alumni that was wishing us well and luck on the way that our goal was not simply to win it, but just honor those wrestlers of the past, present and future," Phillips said. "Come up here and fight for what we believed in.
"We were hit hard day two, but you know what, we kept the faith and we kept moving forward," he added. "That says a lot about our character. We couldn't have done it without everybody believing."
Kyler Rea
At 106, Rea opened the final day with a victory over Antonio Escobar (Ladue Horton Watkins) by a 9-4 decision in the consolation semifinals.
He then moved on to the third place match where he was pitted against Shaun Beeman (Ft. Zumwalt North), who entered the match 39-5 overall. Rea opened the scoring with a reversal to make it 2-0 in the early going before grabbing another two points to go ahead 4-0 in the second period. A reversal by Beeman in the third period made it 4-2, but Rea managed to hang on in the final minute to pull out a 4-2 victory and claim third place.
River Buttram
Buttram had his hands full with Staley's Chris Allen in the third place match at 120 pounds. After a scoreless first period, Allen scored an escape in the second period to move in front 1-0. It would remain that way until Buttram made his move in the final two seconds of the second period and scored a reversal at the whistle to go ahead 2-1.
That would be all the momentum Buttram would need to claim the third place crown, as he scored an escape and reversal with three seconds left in the third to grab a 5-1 victory.
Dakota McGarrah
McGarrah came close to a fifth place finish, but ultimately came up short after fighting his way back from a 4-0 deficit in his match with Johnny Blankenship (Platte County) at 126 pounds.
Trailing 4-0 in the second, McGarrah got a reversal in the second and allowed an escape to make it 5-2. He later scored an escape and got a takedown to make it 5-5 late in the third. A reversal, however, made it 7-5 and he couldn't recover in time despite a late escape, and fell 7-6 to claim sixth place.
McGarrah got to the fifth place match in another dramatic finish in which he won a sudden victory over Joe Discalced (Kearney) with a takedown in overtime, 3-1.
Kyle Hostetter
After losing in the semifinals on Friday, Hostetter lost both matches against tough opponents on Saturday to claim sixth place.
Hostetter's first match came in the consolation semifinals where he was pinned by James Culp (46-10, Warrensburg), before moving on to the fifth place match against Collin Huitt (44-13, Farmington). The showdown between Baird and Hostetter was intense as an escape by Huitt with 45 seconds left in the second period broke a scoreless tie. It remained 1-0 into the third, until Huitt got position and pinned Hostetter in 3:14.
Sam Williams
Very few wrestlers have had success against Carl Junction's Nick Koon this season, but Williams managed to dispatch him for just the seventh time this season with a 4-2 decision in the consolation semifinals in order to advance to the third place match against Spencer Baird (48-8, Washington).
In that match Williams got on the board first with a reversal to make it 2-0. Baird responded with an escape to make it 2-1 in the second period, before another reversal and escape in the same period gave Baird a 4-2 advantage. Williams never recovered in the match as Baird would go on to score two more reversals and hang on for an 8-6 victory.
Aaron Clardy
Neosho's big man at 285 pounds, Clardy pinned Caleb Braun (Warrensburg) in 1:31 in the consolation semifinals, before moving on to Saturday's third-place showdown against Mitch Adams (Platte County).
Clardy controlled the entire match, scoring on an escape and a reversal in the second period to go ahead 3-0. He would allow an escape to Adams late in the second, but easily held on for a 3-1 win to claim third.

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma encourages Oklahoma Farmers and Ranchers to donate livestock to the Beef for Backpacks program. This program uses donated cattle to produce nutritious beef sticks for the Regional Food Bank's Food for Kids program.
"Last school year, we served 13,500 chronically hungry elementary school students through Food for Kids," said Rodney Bivens, executive director of the Regional Food Bank. "More children are added to the program every month. The donated cattle ensures that we can continue to grow our program and feed more children in our state."
Nearly 50 head of cattle are needed each year to provide enough beef sticks for all of the students in the Food for Kids program. To help sustain Beef for Backpacks, program participants are asking beef producers to consider a commitment of at least one animal per year. The program accepts both cattle and monetary donations, and all processing and delivery costs are covered by the Regional Food Bank and the Oklahoma Farming and Ranching Foundation.
Donations are tax deductible as a charitable donation to a 501(C)3 corporation, pursuant to IRS guidelines. Livestock donation receipt amounts will be based USDA daily market price. A Livestock Owner/Donor Certificate must be completed to receive donation receipt.
For more information on how to donate, contact Thad Doye by phone at (405) 523-2307 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

An electrical fire early this morning in Butler chased a family of four out of their home and into the cold.
No one was injured and firefighters were able to quickly snuff out the fire but Tina Fennick, her two teenage daughters and one child's fiance are temporarily homeless, said Butler Fire Chief Nick Ban.
Bad wiring or a faulty circuit breaker is believed to have sparked the blaze at 126 Fourth Ave., a two-story house with an attic.
Fennick, who rents the home, reported problems with the breaker Wednesday night.
"The family said the breaker blew and they tried to reset it, but it blew again," Ban said. "They left it off and called the owner."
The owner, Stacey Holbein of Las Vegas, Nev., told Fennick that she would have an electrician out the next day to look at the problem.
The family also described smelling "burning plastic" in the house just minutes after the breaker reportedly blew out, Ban said.
Hours later, while the rest of the family slept, one of Fennick's daughters awoke to the smell of smoke, Ban said.
"She got out of bed and saw the smoke coming from downstairs," he said. "Everyone got out and they called 911."
City firefighters got there about 1:30 a.m. and found heavy smoke coming from the home's south side.
Damage, estimated at $15,000 to the home, was contained to the kitchen area. An additional $5,000 in damage was reported to the home's contents.
The Butler chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the Fennick family with emergency needs including housing at a local motel.
"We're going to do everything possible to make the house livable again as soon as possible," said Carrie Holbein of Butler, who is looking after the home for her sister.

THOUSANDS of lions are being bred in captivity in South African so they can be shot by wealthy tourists on hunting vacations.
In cities throughout the world animal rights activists will demonstrate against the practise of canned hunting by taking part in the Global March for Lions.
Paul Tully, 33, has helped to organise the march in London, which is due to take place on March 15, and is encouraging people in Stroud to join him.
"Having lived in Stroud I know that people here will be shocked to learn about canned hunting," said Paul, who recently moved to Gloucester.
"It is a barbaric industry yet little is known about it."
Canned hunting is a controversial business in South Africa, where lions are bred on farms to be shot by wealthy foreign trophy-hunters.
The animals are unfairly prevented from escaping the hunter, because they are in fenced areas and because they are tame and used to humans after spending years in petting zoos.
Paul, an assistant retail manager and photographer, said: "I have always had an active interest in conservation but now I must do more, as we all should.
"Africa has always been in my heart, with so many species either close to extinction, endangered or close to being classed an endangered.
"The volunteer and cub petting industry in South Africa is a huge problem.
"Volunteers are being sent, unknowing to them, to illegitimate lion parks to care for these cubs and tourists will pay to pet them.
"In both cases, that cub will almost certainly end up in a canned hunt - a brutal end to a miserable captive life.
"The public need to be aware of the current failures in wildlife legislation that have allowed the once mighty lion to be degraded and traded as common livestock on farms of misery and horror."

A combination of outdoor ambiance (think symphonies on a mountainside or aboard the lido deck) with the laid back comfort of an exclusive, old world club, this room would be as happy hosting Diana Krall as Mozart. A natural rock feature wall and dark stained ceiling timbers form the backdrop for a Gauguin inspired painting -- dancers already swaying to the melodies from a shimmering baby grand. Potted plants and two opposite banks of wall windows enhance the illusion this is a musical grotto in the woodlands.
Classic red and black, the colors of passion and power, give this music room a vibrancy that seems to say: here we honor musical visionaries from every era. Favorite albums and their dust jackets create a rhythmic pattern on one wall, perhaps inspiring the current musician. Heavy drapes in broad bands of color have a subtle air of traditional regality offset by the comfort of a contemporary armchair in scarlet.
We be jammin' here, so grab your favourite guitar or banjo and get set for an evening of improvisation and song with friends. Fabrics are natural -- leather chair and ottoman, wide-plank flooring, even a cowhide lampshade. A travel truck from the days of stagecoach travel doubles as storage and a display stand for an antique fiddle. A rifle is slung beside a standing lamp with oversized sheriff's stars climbing the base -- hey, they grow them big in Texas. The casual area rug completes the suggestion this is a cowboy's cabin for modern day musicians.

Black Lemur, Madagascar (USNM 125465)
Lemurs are primates and are more closely related to humans, apes and monkeys than any other living nonhuman primate group. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many lemurs in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 125465 (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7246973) is a female black lemur (Eulemur macaco) from Madagascar. This individual was collected in 1905 and measured a total length of 880 mm, a tail length of 465 mm, and a hind tarsus length of 95 mm.
This is a CT scan of the mandible of USNM 125465. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living nonhuman primate relatives available in 3D for education and research.

If you're a baseball or sports fan, you probably know the historical meaning "42" has in the athletic world: Jackie Robinson's uniform number and the beginning of the integration of baseball.
That number also is the title of a movie coming out Friday at The Village 8 and other theaters throughout the country that depicts Robinson's life and struggles from when the player (played by Chadwick Boseman) was courted by Brooklyn Dodgers' owner Branch Rickey (played by an almost unrecognizable Harrison Ford, at least I didn't recognize him if I hadn't seen the credits) to the day the Dodgers claimed the 1947 National League pennant.
Robinson works hard in the 1946 spring training despite having to deal with the "Jim Crow" laws in Florida he had to face -- including one incident on the field that didn't involve the opposing team -- until his first at-bat of the regular season for the Royals. The story skips to the birth of his son and his preparing to go to the 1947 spring training, which was moved to Panama amid unrest from some of his future teammates.
The rest of the story covers his first season with the Dodgers that have been mentioned time and time again in earlier movies and biographies, but in more detail. It also talks about being accepted by players like Eddie Stanky, Pee Wee Reese and Ralph Branca; and slowly accepted by most of the team because they were winning with him. Case in point, not all of his teammates accept Robinson in the end before the credits.
In that regard, the movie is more biographical then anything else.
What is different involves the showing of frustrations Robinson has to endure to hold himself not to fight back in spring training or his time with the Dodgers from all the taunting he faces; which is what any person, no matter the color of his skin, would be prone to do.
Boseman shows that anger in one scene when a manager of an opposing team calls Robinson every derogatory name ever heard against African-Americans and the player is ready to explode. Robinson thinks about fighting the opposing manager, but instead breaks his bat when he goes into the tunnel and lets out his anger against the walls.
It is probably one of the best scenes of the movie when Rickey (Ford) comes in and tries to calm down Robinson, only to admit he doesn't know how his player feels about the taunts because he never had to face them.
That's just one example of the heart-to-hearts Robinson and Rickey have throughout the movie. The other heart-to-hearts are between Robinson with his wife Rachel (played by Nicole Beharie). Rachel lets her husband talk about how he feels and is always encouraging, even at times when she is surrounded by "bigots" trying to demoralize Robinson.
There are a number of derogatory words in the movie as it tries to stay true to the story. If you can get around that, then I suggest you see "42" not only as a baseball movie, but a movie involving a person who perserveres and succeeds overcoming more things that most can be thrown at us.
Off The Deep End: '42' goes inside Robinson's fight to play in Major Leagues
If you're a baseball or sports fan, you probably know the historical meaning "42" has in the athletic world: Jackie Robinson's uniform number and the beginning of the integration of baseball.

The coast ebbs in flows amidst pearl-grey air, whispering bents, thymy, turfy and salty scents...brimming in, filling in, glassy free, the sweet susurration of incoming sea :). I toy with my adorning 'Passion by the Sea' and reminds me of where I centre myself.ReplyDelete

I'm a little early with my post for tomorrow but we're heading out of town . . . My favorite thing to do on Friday night is to go out to dinner with Andrew. It isn't original, but after a week on the job to sit comfortably and quietly with another adult, to choose what I want to eat and have another person clean up after me is an experience like no other.
Andrew is sweet about it and usually lets me choose where we go. His reasoning is that he eats out during the week frequently on business lunches so he wants me to be able to go where I want. This earns him big points I tell you.
You may think Anchorage, with its population of around 300,000 is too tiny to have any decent food but oddly enough, with it's proximity to Asia via air Anchorage has developed an arts and food culture that is unusual in a town its size. Tourists and business people, Fedex planes and oil execs all seem to route through Anchorage and have contributed to a quality dining experience. We may not be fancy--jeans are optional--but we know good food when we taste it.
I've written about my favorite restaurants in Anchorage and Andrew's Washington D.C. business trip last month which supplied me with sandwiches from our favorite sandwich shop back there, but there have also been a few other restaurants that have special significance for us.
The Olive Garden. Don't laugh, I know it's not exactly haute cuisine but it was the nicest place to eat in our college town back in 1991 so it was the scene of our first date. Later, we ate at the Olive Garden in Littleton, Colorado the night before we got married, then at the Olive Garden in Louisville, Kentucky on our first New Year's Eve together. We ate there for our first date after Grace was born and I took Grace to that same first-date Olive Garden when we took a mother-daughter trip together last March. Funny thing is, there's not an Olive Garden in the entire city of Anchorage. Go figure.
Cafe Ciao. A couple years ago when we took the kids to Maui Andrew and I had Grace babysit while we went into Wailea for dinner. The meal at that restaurant was perfect. We ate outdoors, serenaded by a guitar (or rather a man playing a guitar) and ate the most fabulous food that tasted far superior to the Costco fare we'd been consuming all week. Stars, surf, moonlight, mushrooms, nothing else could have been better.
International House of Pancakes. Ha! Another classy place, but it was the scene of Thanksgiving breakfast 1992 when Andrew had his first trip to California. We ate at the IHOP in Anaheim next door to Disneyland--the old chalet-style one that's been replaced--and he ate fifteen pounds of strawberry-covered bacon Belgian waffles before his first trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. We still remember how fun that day was.
And there are others . . . breakfasts with my Mom at the Woodmark in Bellevue, Washington, a family-style meal in an Amish barn in Lancaster, PA, a machete-sliced pineapple off the back of a pickup on Harbor Island in the Bahamas, a ridiculous meal at the Mayfair in Brussels where I could only translate "steak and French fries" so that's what I ordered. Funny how dining isn't just an experience for the mouth but for the memory as well.
So what restaurant is your favorites? Is there a reason for your affection such as a particular dish served or a particular memory associated that makes it so special? Is the restaurant still in business? Now's your chance to play restaurant critic and pass on your advice for the world to read (or at least the ten or fifteen people that read this blog).

My son and I make a habit of going out to lunch together. Despite his blindness and his autism, he manages to befriend every server we've ever had. Some of the full-timers recognize and greet us! As for chains, we do like iHop.

the amish food experience sounded soo cool.
husband and i have this ritual almost every single sat morning. we go to "JUDY'S CAFE" for brunch. (anchorage, at old seward and klatt). awesome, we love it, it is small, country cooking feel to it, feels like i'm in grandma's house, it is cozy, and almost every weekend, we get the same waitress. we're so used to her, sometimes when she's not too busy, she will sit with us for a little at our table and visit with us. the owner and staff are so nice. this is a great neighborhood joint. when we show up, there is usually a small line, but you never have to wait very long to get a seat. the food and everything is worth it.

I can't laugh because we like O.G too! I like the canned Italian-American music, and sometimes I pretend I'm in Italy when I'm there...gaze at the lovely giant posters of Rome, Milan, Venice, etc.

Anchorage is small at 300,000? My town has a population of less than 5,000. I feel like my hometown of Vancouver, WA is huge at over 158,000. (Although Vancouver DOES have an Olive Garden.) When we want to eat out, we usually wait until we are in Vancouver. Silver Dragon (chinese) is our favorite and we also love Olive Garden. We eat at Sharis a lot too because kids eat free on Saturday evenings if you buy them a kids milkshake or smoothie. Once the kids are old enough to be home alone, we may eat out more, but for now special to us is frozen philly cheese steak sandwiches from Costco that we eat after the kids are asleep. I bet your sandwich place has better food.

I like simply chain restaurants too, especially with memories like that tied to them! My favorite place is Otto in NYC, owned by Mario Batali. On my first trip to NYC I went to another one of his restaurants, Babbo, but I found Otto had a more "relaxed" atmosphere. Authentic Italian food and the yummiest margherita pizza I've ever had. Not much for memories but it does a lot to the taste buds! ;) As far as chain restaurants go, I like TGIF. Only one certain meal from there though. My fiance and I had our first date, Valentine's Day, birthday, etc. dinners there! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! =)

Olive Garden was were my DH and I had our first "real" date, too! We still love to go there and eat soup, salad and bread sticks with Alfredo dipping sauce.
Have a fantastic weekend out of town!

I love having the soup, salad, and breadsticks at Olive Garden for lunch once in a while. Yummy! :)
WE have a favorite local French cafe that we eat at every Sunday after mass. We've gotten to know the owner (she's really nice) and most of the wait staff. They try to save us our favorite table. Their food is delicious!
We also have a little mom & pop restaurant down the street from us that we've gone to on a frequent basis since Snuggle Bug was about 8 months old. The wait staff loves Snuggle Bug so much that they give him free reign in their restaurant. He even gets to go back in their kitchen where the cook gives him a little treat.
The only problem with this is that now Snuggle Bug thinks he has the right to walk into the kitchen of ANY restaurant we go to. :) It's been a challenge explaining to him that only one restaurant gives him free reign. :)

I don't really have a favorite restaurant. Mostly though I go with the chain restaraunts though because I know the food.
Problem is I am a food chicken and afraid to try something new....

Hi Michelle
I agree it's as much about the memories as the food.
I remember great times at The Spaghetti House in Hong Kong, and Asia Kitchen in Singapore... both chains, but delicious food!
I live in Australia, so when visitng Sydney, any of the many restaurants in Glebe Street, near the University, are a good bet.

I think you prolly have more than 10 - 15 readers. :-)
I love going to the Haute Quarter Grill in Eagle River. Yum!
- Stine said...
Hi, thanks for visiting! They have restaurants in Alaska??? (And no polarbears in the streets of Oslo??)
The only international restaurant chains we have over here are the obvious burger ones, and Hard Rock Cafe... But I loooove a good Italian Pizza, and you do get them here too!
- PortraitofPeter said...
A wonderful post and an education too of Alaska and food cuisine.
We all need to indulge and time out for ourselves - hence your helpful post.
Have a wonderful weekend.
- Marie N. said...
We have a neighborhood diner at the end of our street that has good food and friendly service. That's a winner! Rick and I have fond memories of Dante's Down the Hatch in Atlanta -- live jazz, fondue, and loads of atmosphere!
- dcrmom said...
I have so many favorites. I love to eat out. Bahama Breeze is great for drinks and appetizers. Love their coconut shrimp. If I'm going to a nice dinner, I love the Kimberton Inn, which is a local place that has a lovely atmosphere, impeccable service, and a lovely filet mignon. And speaking of filet, I could never tire of Morton's. Mmmmm... Then there's nothing quite like the Ma and Pop pizza/cheesesteak joints. That's the best part of living in Philly. :-)

My favorite restaurant in Chicago is Cafe Ba Ba Reeba hands-down. Spanish tapas that are making me salivate right now even though it's 8:41AM. :)
- Mrs_Scotsman said...
I am so jealous that you have an IHOP! The nearest one to us is a hour away. What kills me is that they have IHOP commercials on our network.
O.G. is a popular place for us to meet up with other parents of small children after church. You can't beat the 6.95 soup, salad and bread sticks. It gives the parents time to catch up while the kids eat then it is time to go home for afternoon naps.
- Le laquet said...
Well if you're ever in south west France there's a little restaurant just down the road from my parents called La Garrisade ... beautiful sun warmed terrace on a cool summer evening. Fanatastic earthy French cooking - read garlic and duck fat in abundance. Amazing garlic and pink onion soup and black pudding with pan-fried apples! *sigh* I dribble thinking about it!
- PortraitofPeter said...
I so luv Greek restaurants - but one has to travel into either Edinburgh or Glasgow, otherwise I would be a regular attende!!
- scribbit said...
Daisy: I've had friends that do that, where they take a child to lunch regularly. It's been hard still having small children and doing that but my youngest hits kindergarten this fall. . .
Heffalump: I guess Anchorage is only small when compared to some, but it's as big a city as I'd care to live in.
Val: I read a review of the Haute Quarter Grill a year or so ago in the ADN and have meant to try it but have never made it. Maybe it's time for us to give it a go. My favorite Anchorage Restaurant is the Southside Bistro, hands down.
Blondie: Cafe Ba Ba Reeba sounds hysterical, the name alone would get my business.
Le Laquet: I'm totally jealous of your available dining experiences. It sounds heavenly.
And actually they have an IHOP in Anchorage, and I went there once, but it just wasn't as fun as the trip to IHOP in Anaheim with a day at Disneyland to follow.
I'm not really a fan of chain restaurants but Olive Garden has the memories.
- mcewen said...
Anywhere that is noisy [so that we can blend in] and somewhere that serves French Fries, as that is the only restaurant 'food' that one of my sons will eat.
Other than that, I'm easy.
- Lene said...
I love eating out on Friday nights. It is what I always look forward to. Well, that was pre-kids and preGTMO.
We only have a handful of restaurants and they all stink. Our highlight of the week is going to the Galley (like the "mess hall"). Ahh the life of a military family living on a secluded military base. fun fun!
- kailani said...
Two of your three are on my list of favorites -- Olive Garden and IHOP. I just love their soup, salad and breadsticks lunch!
- Momish said...
I LOVE Olive Garden! It seems odd to frequent a chain restaurant when we live in a major city known for its many independant places, but Olive Garden a tried and true favorite! Their portabello raviolis are to die for.
There is a little Creperie place around our way that is my all time favorite. That and any Thai place.
Breakfast for dinner is also a great treat to me. It always makes me feel like I am sinfully cheating, like when you are on vacation or something. So IHOP gets my vote as well!
- This Eclectic Life said...
I like Olive Garden, so I'm not snickering. Here in Denton, TX we have a wonderful Italian restaurant called Giuseppe's. It's in an old Victorian House with wonderful ambiance. No one strums a guitar, but Sinatra sings in the background. Giuseppe (who is a hunk...but don't tell my husband I said that) always drops round to personalize the service. They catered our wedding four years ago next Thursday, so that's the memory.
Thanks for bringing up those memories!
- Jonesey said...
Chili's! My husband and I & friends used to frequent chili's because it was close and yummy. My favorites are the Margarita Grilled Chicken and Chocolate Milkshakes sans sprinkles :) Non-Chain: A place called The Canyon Grill on Lookout Mountain in Georgia. You have to drive up the mountain (unless you live on it) and drive about a half hour out once you are on the top and it's a beautiful drive and when you get to this restaurant in the middle of nowhere, GA you can smell the giant grill! The atmosphere is fantastic and so is the food. Southern but classy, well except for one dish called "Slash & Burn" An entire Catfish Head to tail, battered & fried :) Not my choice, but we have celebrated some great occasions there...Oh I can just feel the Southern air right now!
- Eagles Wings said...
aOh yeah - Bird-in-hand restaurant in Lancaster Co, PA. Ham, Egg & cheese croissants anywhere!
Steak subs - Filleit's Sub Shop - Baltimore MD...
O'Charley's - Cleveland TN.
Oh yeah Olive Garden - hubby LOVES their salad!
- Code Yellow Mom said...
My husband brings me an Outback steak to the hospital after I have a baby, and man does that ever taste fabulous, so it's a favorite.
I also love the Carlisle Grand in DC because that's where we ate together the day we got engaged.
I really love a little hole in the wall place here called El Pollo Rico - it's El Salvadoran rotisserie chicken and the only option on the menu is how much of the chicken you want - it comes with potato fries and coleslaw and yummy yellow sauce, you eat it all with your fingers and leave with the satisfaction of having greasy fingers and a pile of bones on your paper plate. Absolutely fabulous.
Love your reasons for loving IHOP.

JV's taco shop in Linda Vista, CA. I went there today and had my usual, two chicken tacos, rice and beans. It's the gold standard for Mexican food!
- Alex Elliot said...
Sometimes I'm just really in the mood for Friendly's. It's not fancy, but everyone can get something that they like not to mention great ice crea.
- JennyMcB said...
Olive Garden, my favorite memory is when I brought my three boys out to eat 8 years ago without Dad who was traveling. My youngest, the picky eater was 5 years old and kept saying, "where's the breadsticks, are we getting more?"
For a fancy weekend in NH, nothing beats the food and service at the Balsalms. But for a nice evening out, I love going to a Bed and Breakfast in Henniker, called The Colby Inn for special dinners. There's something to be said for quiet dining without children.
- la bellina mammina said...
Alaska sounds like Singapore, with all its diverse choice of restaurant! I used to frequent Bice (i think there's one in NY too), really scrumptious italian cuisine - but they closed it down a few years ago. Can't really have I have a favorite restaurant at the moment, but I'm going through a "yong tau foo" period at the moment and I have that almost every day for lunch!
- Melissa R. Garrett said...
If you ever find yourself in Ithaca, you MUST visit our famous Moosewood. The vegetarian menu is chock full of local and organic ingredients, always a BIG plus in my book.
Also, I love to visit our (also) famous farmer's market and try various vendors from all around Ithaca. With our three children, the cost of babysitters, and the fact that Granny & Papa are not always available, taking a trip to the farmer's market for a quick bite to eat down by the lake is always a great, low-key experience. :-)
- Amanda said...
This is such a neat idea. Three months after my husband and I were married he had two masses removed, one the size of a grapefruit from his hip cavity and another slightly smaller from his abdomen. Going into it we had every reason to believe the results might go from lypoma to sarcoma. We were rocked to our very core with relief to find a few weeks later that the results fell into a space outside of benign, but not malignant.
We went to a little place called One Caroline Street Bistro in Saratoga Springs, NY to celebrate. We shared a bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and two entrees that delighted with every bite. Though I cannot remember exactly what we ate, I'll never forget the warmth of the staff, the magic of the candle light or the sensation of knowing with utmost certainty how very true the vow of through sickness and health had been and how grateful I was that it seemed that til death us do part was not coming so soon.
- The Thrifty Blogger said...
Mmm IHOP is yummy! And I love Panera Bread. Is there any out there in AK? Good wholesome food, very satisfying. My kinds of restaurants. :)
- Poppy Fields said...
For a special treat, I like Japanese. In Honolulu I liked Beni Hana's and in Aix en Provence, I like to go to Yoji.
- Islandsparrow said...
We live on Prince Edward Island - total population about half the size of Anchorage. We live about 25 min away from the capital city Charlottetown - pop.about 35,000. You really would think that it would be too small to have many restaurants but actually we have a lot. We have Indian, Mexican, Italian, Vegetarian, specialty coffee shops (esp. Tim's of course), African, lots of seafood places, Thai,Vietnamese,Chinese, Tea Houses, ice cream places and regular Canadian/American type restaurants including 5 star restaurants. I'm not sure why we have so many - perhaps because tourism is one of our major industries. One of my our favourites is called The Dundee Arms. It's an inn with a charming European atmosphere. They specialize in seafood-I love to have lobster when it's in season - Hot with melted butter and strawberry pie for dessert.

Urgent care center offers new option in emergencies
Norwich - In past years when one of the visiting cousins took a bad tumble during the backyard football game on Thanksgiving Day, the choices for medical care pretty much narrowed down to one: the local hospital emergency room.
This year, though, there's a second alternative. Urgent Care of Connecticut, a Brookfield-based, for-profit chain, opened its seventh location in the state here on Oct. 31, its first in eastern Connecticut. The walk-in center is open seven days a week, including major holidays.
"We're usually very busy on holidays," said Marcey Tweedie, director of grassroots marketing for the company, as she led a tour of the new offices at 607 West Main St., a 3,000-square-foot space that formerly houses a Papa Gino's Pizzeria. "We take care of 98 percent of what the ER does, anything that's non-life-threatening."
That includes any "non-acute need," she said, from lacerations, wound infections, Lyme disease tests and treatment to sexually transmitted diseases, flu shots, urinary tract infections and walk-in physicals.
Urgent Care of Connecticut was founded in 2008 by three doctors who met while working together in the emergency department at Waterbury Hospital. Dr. Bernd Woerner, Dr. R. Robert Rohatsch and Dr. Jeannie Kenkare formed a partnership, Zucyla Enterprises, as the parent corporation of Urgent Care of Connecticut, and opened their first center in Southbury a short time later. The three saw a need for a service that could treat many of the same conditions that sent people to emergency rooms, but at a lower cost, Tweedie said.
"It's when you want something taken care of, but you don't want to be sitting in an emergency room," she said. "We're trying to offload from the ERs, and we're less costly."
Her company, she said, is undergoing "rapid expansion," with plans to open more locations in New London County in the near future. In addition to the Norwich and Southbury centers, other Urgent Care of Connecticut offices are located in Glastonbury, Newtown, Brookfield, Norwalk and Ridgefield.
"Next year we'd like to have 20 locations in Connecticut, and we also see potential to expand into Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York," Tweedie said.
As more people obtain health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, she said, the company anticipates a growing need for medical care providers. Urgent Care, she said, can help fill the need for basic care, particularly as the shortage of primary care doctors becomes more pronounced with an influx of newly insured patients. The company employs 15 primary care doctors who rotate among the seven locations. After initial treatment at the center, patients are referred to local specialists or their own primary care doctors for follow-up care, Tweedie said.
"We're open on days when the primary care offices are closed," she said. "We're not trying to steal patients. We're trying to work with them."
Nationwide, there are about 9,000 urgent care centers, with the first ones opening 30 years ago, according to the Urgent Care Association of America. The 1990s saw a rapid expansion in the number of urgent care centers, which now log 160 million patient visits annually, according to the association.
Urgent Care of Connecticut is one of only 36 of these centers accredited through the Joint Commission, the hospital accreditation organization, through its ambulatory care program. It accepts all major private health insurance plans as well as Medicare, but does not take patients covered by HUSKY or Medicaid.
The Norwich center, with six exam rooms, an X-ray room and trauma room where patients can be put on an IV or oxygen, shares a busy commercial road next door to Little Caesars Pizza and Game X Change and across from the Shop Rite plaza. Over one recent weekend, the center saw 11 patients, Tweedie said, but she hopes that as the word gets out about its services numbers will approach those of its Southbury center, which sees an average of 50 patients a day. No appointments are needed, and patients can call ahead to get an estimate of how much a visit with a doctor will cost, Tweedie said.
"We feel there's a strong need in this area, and that the population will support it," she said.
