Date: 2004-09-15 02:04 pm (UTC)Ha, I was gonna ask her, "Is that all the stuff you've done so far in Cincinnati?"
Though, my opinion of Graeter's isn't very high because they've never served me a banana split. I suppose what I had was good though.

Date: 2004-09-15 03:22 pm (UTC)I've done #2, #5, #7, & #8.
I went thru #9, when they had the open house thing (& then had my car not start & had to try to get a ride & get the car towed, just to have it start after everyone got there. Stupid Lumina..)
& I almost did #3, but tickets for They Might Be Giants were sold out when Goofy & I went there to see them, there.
I've considered trying The Maisonette, but "froo-froo" food usually isn't worth the money, since it doesn't give me enough to fill me up.
