Sweet treat.

Spent the weekend in Bowling Green and came back with a pretty solid idea for speciality drinks. Jolly Rancher vodka. My friend Jess assured me it's the easiest thing to make.

from mixthatdrink.com

All you need is vodka, glass containers and a bag of Jolly Ranchers that you've sorted.

Put twelve Jolly Ranchers of each flavor into each container.

Next up, you pour the vodka into the flasks over the candies.

Then just let them sit for about eight to twelve hours, and all the candy will dissolve completely.

So good.

Stack 'em up

I'm in love with these stacking cups from jimbobart . . .

Mr. Tweed Bear set

All of the sets are handpainted and come with four cups - most sets are espresso cups, but the Mr. Tweed Bear set consists of four coffee cups. Pretty marvelous way to start your day!

Loving this ...

I had the opportunity this weekend to meet the designer of these really cute hand-made accessories. These adorable cloth buds are are by Ljubezen brew and are perfect for putting the "Spring" in your season.

TGIF

One of our lovely readers sent us to this awesome cast iron skillet in the shape of Ohio. In fact, FeLion Studios has handcrafted 48 states into cast iron skillets so you can take your pick - as long as that pick doesn't include Alaska or Hawaii.

I cropped FeLion's photo a bit so you could get a good look. How awesome!

The workmanship on these is fantastic, I absolutely love them. I'd love to add one of these to my kitchen (cast iron is the best), but for $350 a pop this will probably have a permanent spot on my dream list.

Turn it up!

I have been looking a cute little radio for my ipod. In my pursuit, I found some pretty neat options for pumping my playlists.

Sushi + friends = perfection

I love sushi and I love my friend Tibbs. So when you combine the two, it's basically the best thing ever. Our favorite spot for sushi in Akron is Big Eye on West Market Street. The sushi there is phenomenal and the best part is they have happy hour from 4:30-5:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday, so you can get sushi half off.

A few of our staple sushi choices are the yellowtail, spicy octopus and Alaska rolls. It is really hard to choose so we always end up with an enormous plate, which is okay since it's half off. I also really love the restaurant itself. The interior is nice and cozy, and it's always quiet in there (sushi isn't the rowdiest food) so it's the perfect place to have great conversations with great friends.


Trust me, no matter how much sushi it looks like you ordered your plate will always look like this by the end.
