The only time I've ever had sake, it's been warm and not exactly my favorite dinner accompaniment. So when America's first Premium Craft Sake company, @SakeOneOregon, offered me samples of their American made rice wine, I of course said send some my way! Thankfully, they sent a cheat sheet of terms with the samples, because unlike wine and spirit terms, I knew nothing about Sake terms. "Junmai" indicates wine that is dry and earthy made only with rice, water, yeast and koji. "Ginjo" means the rice used has been milled down more than 50% to remove fats and proteins, resulting in lighter and fruitier. Able to keep for a few months in the refrigerator, Sake has a longer shelf life than wine, but as my husband does not drink anything other than beer, I chose to try the Yomi individually canned sake. On its own, it's light in body and has flavors of orchard fruit and minerality. With the bento box I ate, it complimented the sushi and rice well. Since inflation markers are at their highest since 1992, now is a good time to #buyAmerican and give this delightful #sake a try. For more types of Sake and ordering information, visit the #SakeOne website. #sakeittomebaby #sakeittome #craftsake #adultbeverages #japanesefood #bentobox #madeinoregon #americafirst #wevegotacountrytosave #faithfamilyfreedom #premiumsake #interestingdrinks #sushipairing #foodandbev #drinkpairings #junmai #ginjo

If you love #smalltownamerica gems like I do, check out my latest blog post on the architectural wonder that is @visitcolumbusin. This #eerosaarinen residential home features interiors by #alexandergirard and landscape design by #dankiley. It’s a #midcenturymodern gem among an entire city of heavy hitters in #modernarchitecture. If you want to make a long weekend or 4-5 day trip of it, I highly recommend making a triangle trip of #columbusindiana, @oliverwinery in #bloomington, and a city jaunt to @visitindy. •

Who recently moved from a city to the suburbs and needs landscape and gardening advice?? because I have LEVELED UP. And by #leveledup I mean that the two feral cats I care for have turned out to be the easiest and greatest critter repellents and yard fertilizer-ers around. But here are some other tips: 1) talk to your neighbors and see what’s going on in their yard
2) download @picturethisai and use liberally
3) join your local plant or garden club (if available)
4) join the rewards program at your nearest nursery
5) you’ll always need gloves I have more tips on my blog so check it out. #gardening #beginninggardener #beginninggardening #gardenadvice #organicgarden #organicgardening #gardeninglife #gardeningtips #zone5 #zone5gardening #zone5b #dupage

Is it a weekend if I haven’t visited the mother ship? 😂 Ever since @theoriginalrainbowcone opened its 2nd permanent location in Lombard, a visit to this established-in-1910-ice-cream-shop has become a weekend tradition for me! It’s just too good. I can’t explain why all 5 flavors together taste so delicious, they just do. And, good news! @buonabeef in Westmont is adding an Original Rainbow Cone outpost at that location too, so the Western Suburbs will be flush with tasty treats! •

Sippin’ on some @docmaremmatoscana #Vermentino and it is quite the perfect pairing for some @gibsonsitalia salmon. It took me too long, but I have a new blog post about the @ieemusa Maremma Toscana wine tasting I attended. It made me miss in person tastings, miss freely traveling to Europe, and realize that my tasting skills did not decline nearly as much as I feared they had! #maremmatoscana #doc #italianwines #winesofitaly #andiamo #vinoitaliano #vino #vinorosso #toscana #tuscany #supertuscan #organicwinery #organicwines #citadeltufo #sangiovese #ciliegiolo #winestudy
