This pretty girl has floppy ears and expressive eyes that will melt your heart - a 7 year old super sweet terrier pittie mix, who has been at the shelter since March - her foster family says she’s the kind of well behaved guest you want to stay! Zero accidents, and she even puts herself to bed. Hera is a people pup - just like a people person, but so much better, so she’ll make a great only copilot. You can meet plenty of potential copilots at the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter and of course foster homes are always needed. You can also help the…

That's What She Drank: The Dirty Pasta Water Martini (yes, you read that right)
Written by Jaci Fox
This week our cocktail is a weird one. It's the Dirty Pasta Water Martini... but hear me out. My first reaction was Ew(!) then WHY?! But after reading about it, the science makes sense - pasta water is considered liquid gold in cooking for a reason; it adds a velvety smooth texture to sauces, and the silky mouthfeel is the point of this odd concoction. Being someone who loves the science and chemistry of cooking, I was now intrigued. If you like a classic or dirty martini - you'll most likely enjoy this oddball drink. It’s truly just the name…

That's What She Drank: Jaci's Visit to Southern Tier Part 3 (The Pumking Family)
Written by Jaci Fox
The final segment of my trip to Southern Tier covers why I went to begin with - there’s a new member to the Pumking family, Caramel Pumking, and to get a fall preview for you, but Lydia shared so much more and let me pick her brain for beer knowledge. In Part 1, we covered late summer brews and food pairings - plus Lydia’s personal concoction of a double IPA and a Sour, called Berry Gusher, which is refreshing, delish (and dangerous at 9% ABV). In Part 2, I was also introduced to a very unique brew that’s technically a…

Meet Mary Poppins!! She is the lovely pup we want to introduce to you!! Mary is a 5 year old, white and tan pittie mix and according to the folks at the shelter she is practically perfect in every way! She’s calm, loves other dogs and would be excellent with kids!! If you’re looking for a super sweet family pup, she just might be your spoonful of sugar. You can meet Mary Poppins in person at the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter, or, if you can’t adopt, Mary Poppins does need a foster home to finish recovering from heartworm as she finishes treatments…

That's What She Drank: Jaci's Visit to Southern Tier Brewery Part 2
Written by Jaci Fox
For part 2 of my trip to Southern Tier on Prospect, we’re taking a look at the transitional summer to fall beers on offer - for days like we had this week - chilly, but not cold, yet, warm but not hot. There are a few brews Southern Tier offers for this transition, and I think their Praise the Haze IPA is a good option - very, very piney, a classic east coast IPA, (just like a Carolina Pine Forest), is one for those days that are definitely still summer like. Southern Tier recommends their Harvest IPA. Now, I don’t generally like…

This week, we've been giving away Cedar Point single day passes with the Easiest Trivia Ever which has been about the rides, past present and future, and we've been having a great time reminiscing - we've had listeners chime in who've worked there with the amusement park's motto burned into her psyche, some remembering how rough a ride Mean Streak was (truly mean indeed), and the Blue Streak was one of our listeners very first real coaster ride.
We are SO talking about Bruno!! That is the name of the pup we want you to introduce you to this week. Bruno is a fun, energetic guy who came to the shelter when he was just 9 months old - he’s now almost a year and a half, which means he’s spent almost 1/2 of his life in a shelter, and doesn’t know much of a home life. The folks at the shelter realized this and hooked him up with Miracle K9 training for 30 days and he came back with leash manners and knows all kinds of cammands…

That's What She Drank: Jaci's Trip to Southern Tier Brewery Part 1
Written by Jaci Fox
Last night, I met with Lydia from Southern Tier at their taproom on Prospect with the intent of doing a fall preview… but… when you get two people together who are passionate about beer, food and love their jobs, well, it turns into something bigger, and well, we ended up closing the place down. The thing is, everything I've ever had from Southern Tier, I've liked, (and would go as far as to say loved), so it was truly a pleasure to hang out and learn the methods to their insanely delicious madness. They take flavor seriously, have a great…

Buckley is a handsome bulldog mix - and if Petey, the Little Rascals dog and the RCA dog Nipper had a love puppy - it'd be Buckley! Am I right? Buckley is a bit of a lady's man since he knows he's got it going on in the looks department and the ladies pups do too - a home with girl fur kids will work, not so much with boys as Buckley likes being the boss. As for humans? He loves all, big and small! He does need a little help in the leash department, but, once he gets up…

Our That’s What She Drank cocktail is one of those odd drink recipes with ingredients you might not expect, that said, it’s also one of my favorites, although, I adapted it to be not quite so heavy as the original and decreased the alcohol slightly, (you know it’s strong if I’m reducing it). The original recipe is from Healing Tomato. It has a hint of coconut as well - it’s truly a fun cocktail, and it packs a punch, even less boozy! In making this lovely cocktail last night, I was reminded that it makes a generous amount. I have…
Check out this guy with a derpy smile - is name is Hank! He is a 1 1/2 year old mastiff mix. Hank has it all! He’s got so much to give and shows it! He walks like a true gentleman on the leash, loves playing with other pups and hanging out with his humans. He also thinks there’s nothing better than a snack and a scratch under his chin. Hank may have a crooked tail, but his good boy vibes will go straight to your heart. True to the mastiff part of him, he’s a gentle giant, but like…
A mojito is one of the most refreshing drinks for when the weather is warm. As for the mojito's origin, it's another one that's debated. Some claim it goes as far back as the 1500's from South American natives that used a similar concoction to treat ailments. The most popular origin story is that it was first created at a restaurant in Havana Cuba, supposedly frequented and praised by Hemmingway, who, you guessed it, allegedly LOVED mojitos. It's also said that pirates used to use basic mojito ingredients to treat scurvy and dysentery... well, at least they were onto something for…
Just look at Hera!! She should be the poster pup for the ultimate happy, sweet dog! Floppy ears and expressive eyes, that’s how the folks at the shelter describe Hera - a 6 year old super sweet terrier pittie mix, who has been at the shelter since March - she did get a vacay to a foster home for a bit, and she was described as the kind of guest you want to stay! Zero accidents, knows her bedtime and puts herself to bed at night! Hera is a people pup - just like a people person, but better, so she’ll make…
