Since last we met....

SxHwA8RTEE7SZ took pictures of himself eating and wearing a hat. Sh0cKeR.

Cincinnati Imports are looking for people to help them organize their various events. They got an offer from someone on the West Side who wants to organize an event in his Mom's basement. So far he's invited everyone he went to high school with and YOU.

Redleg Nation is where Reds fans go to pretend the Reds would be awesome if it weren't for Dusty Baker.

The Phoney Coney seems to think Brett Michaels is in town, and also digs his tuneage. We would have put COAST as the hair band devotees.

Other great random bloggers turned to their favorite music before musing over their souls.

Cincinnati Nomerati went to a sandwich joint downtown that will hopefully fill the void left when that Cold Turkey place shut down. At least until they close the joint to open another martini bar.

Why is the Food Hussy the greatest? Well, she celebrated the resurrection of our savior at a chain restaurant in Norwood, dipping various chicken parts into a vat of ranch dressing. He has risen, indeed. Her and her dude also ate at a buffet in Waynesville and cooked some stuff at home, which is always awesome to read about. We would love for her to write three posts a day.

The number one food blog in Cincinnati as ranked by Urban Spoon complained about the average Mexican cuisine in Cincinnati, yearning for a true taste of Mexico. This led her to a strip mall in Mason. Everything tastes better in Mason.

Epi Cardiogram Ventures

Epi/Ventures has a fantastical recipe for the brussels sprouts at Boca. Brussels sprouts, it turns out, are best used as a vehicle for brown butter.

Tweets and Meats

547 went to another blogger's house and had some food that looked amazing. Unfortunately, some of the amazing food appears to have been fed to a cat. Even more unfortunately, none of it was fed to us.

Tweetup for Tarbell

THE CINCINNATI BLOG is among many to post-tale of a tweet-up to show support for Jim Tarbell as he carries on in his quest to be eccentric at a county wide rather than just a city wide scale.

Not sure what will go on at this tweet up, or what a tweet up is. It will probably involve a couple dozen people talking over each other in 140 character length increments. It will probably also involve Jim giving a speech, perhaps while wearing a funny hat, perhaps while the audience is looking down at their blackberries and iPhones and typing furiously about how Neon's needs to improve their selection of Belgian ales.

What's new on the number one food blog in Cincinnati as ranked by Urban Spoon?

We're not sure. Last we heard she was really into craft cocktails. We're worried she might be kind of like Sandra Lee, only less self aware.

Random Musocity

Kate the Random Muser, still aglow from taking on those big city New York Hotshots was featured on 547's bL0g as they happened upon each other dining at Mayberry. Kate was even photographed in the background as 547 took a rare picture of himself.

But the big news from the Muse was this post, where she announced her random musing blog was coming to an end. As the NYC hotshots settled back hoping that her retirement would mean some peace and quiet from her fierce barbs, it was quickly revealed to be an April Fools joke.

A new food blog

Indeed, Cincinnati could use more food blogs. Maybe new food blogs could bring attention to seldom talked about hidden gems like Terry's Turf Club and Take the Cake.

Anyway, this one is called Adventures in Dining with Kids in Cincinnati. Without having read even one word of the blog, I can say that I have a love/hate relationship with the title because I truly enjoy prepositions, but I really dislike children.

However, these children appear to be named Doodle Bug and Turtle Boy. Therefore, they are adorable. I hope they enjoy their chicken fingers and baggies full of cereal brought from home as they head out to Cincinnati restaurants blogging the good fight.

No news is confusing news

It's after Easter, yet we have no posts from LIZ about her trek through Lenten Fish Fries. Our guess is that she saw the light, converted to Catholicism, and spent those Fridays during Lent praying the rosary and looking through Craigslist ads.

The Food Hussy Likes Loose Meat, (but not like that)

The Food Hussy was thrilled to find a sandwich place that reminded her of her days exploring the culinary scene in Iowa. We've always heard that Maid Rite Sammiches were good eating, and The Huss knows her Maid Rites, but she just didn't enjoy this one. She did, however, continue her new trend of taking lovely pictures of random crap.

Campbell's Soup Stew

The filthy, disgusting pigs who make up Enquirer website commenters continue to amaze and astound. The unfortunate victim this time was CAMPBELLS SCOOP, Polly Campell's food blog. Polly was vacationing in France, and while she was away the kids went balls out on the substitute blog teacher. The sub had the poor judgement to make two highly controversial posts. One was about free chicken sandwiches, the other was about Skyline chili in a cup.

Well the filthy, disgusting pigs tossed their TB infected spit wads all over Polly's chalkboard. She returned with hopes for a higher level of discourse and a story about how having lunch in France made her feel weird.
