Met the really, really nice people over at 826Michigan the other week. Honestly didn’t know much about them before I walked through the door of Liberty Street Robot Supply & Repair. For the quick read they are doing something amazing for the community in the coolest way. At 115 E. Liberty St in Ann Arbor [...]

Since the first part of the year on Friday mornings Lisa Gottlieb and Jeff McCabe open their home and with a host of volunteers offer breakfast diners a steady stream of guest chefs and a few beautifully select breakfast options. They refer to it as a Breakfast Salon. I love the ‘Salon’ part. It makes [...]
Holiday Shopping, I am a long standing member of the Christmas Eve Day Shopping Club. Those of you who shop on the 24th each year know the club. You see the same faces year after year. It’s actually kind’a nice. However, it also means I am at the mall with little time to drive around [...]

…and not a one of them for us. Glad we brought our own! Our piece of halibut went into the freezer a few days before our trip commenced. The fish thawed as we traveled and was the perfect temp for cooking that first night of camp. The recipe was tested before it left for the [...]
For those of you who have honed your canoeing skills at Gallup Park or you’ve begun to wish the Huron River went on forever it may be time to plan a trip.
Backcountry canoeing is similar to staying in a hotel except that you take a canoe everywhere instead of a taxi. That’s what I tell [...]
Made it to the Jamboree last Saturday night. After all the controversy, I had no idea what to expect. We were running late so walked in during the last song of Daisy May & Seth Bernard w/ Dick Siegel. Daisy May & Seth play locally and that one song convinced me that I will catch [...]

25 years. In some ways, that’s not long, but in the span of one’s life, it’s a significant amount of time. That’s how long Kathy Moore has been working as a voice teacher and professional vocalist. For the last 15 years she’s also been a board-certified Music Therapist, belonging to both the American Music Therapy [...]
I’ve tried several variations of this watermelon soup. I’ve thrown basil, cilantro and lemon grass into the mix on different occasions. The final take? Try them all, each herb gave a unique taste profile that I think you’ll enjoy.
We love this soup chilled. Chill it at least a couple hours before serving.
Serves: 4

When you are planning a dinner for 8 and the menu is starting to pull together the last thing you expect the chef to say is… “The entree is going to be tofu.” What??? There may be a pseudo-vegetarian or two in the group, but this gang likes their filet rare!
At the end of the [...]
This is a little late in coming, but we are thrilled to present the imagery of a local photographer who is not only talented, but also a long standing friend. We are hoping this piece will be the first of many photo stories he tells for us. Tom Stoye Photography
Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote “Alas for those who never sing, but die with all their music in them!” While to some this may seem overly dramatic, I find that there is truth in it. Song. Music. Their powers are self-evident; they can move us to tears, to the heights of joy, or give us [...]
We spent the day wandering around The Corner Brewery and downtown Ann Arbor. Two different vibes and a whole lot of art.

First, in all seriousness, this is the 10th anniversary of ElvisFest which draws upwards of 7,000 fans and they were predicting over 9,000 this year. Secondly, a festival that Elvis Presley Enterprises actually sanctions is rare which makes this one of a handful in the country. Finally, ElvisFest brings [...]
…and people are falling in love all over town.
Heather you are looking mighty fine with my favorite Elvis …surfer Elvis!
Sue tried to break him out of the Jail House Rock at Haab’s while David sounded like he was doing time with him.
Andrea spotted Elvis at Toarmina’s apparently being a lousy boyfiend. Who makes the girl [...]
Richard and Mary both hung’out with the King at Bombadil’s. Rebecca got the wink. Alex was doing a little jammin with the man and Karl I think was eyeing the gold lame’ suit at Beezy’s. But the one who will end up on the groupie list is Tonya. She may have been stalking him a [...]
Nothing like being a kid on a torn up street! While everyone else was figuring out how to get in the driveway or keep the sand out two sisters over on the very torn up N. Mansfield decided to create. “Castle Artists” Taylor Jahnke (16) and Justine Jahnke (13) made good use of a medium [...]
