Ingrid’s Kitchen is one of those places I’ve heard about but just, for whatever reason, never visited. I recently had the chance to go there for lunch with a friend, and while the food was pretty good, the bakery is what blew me away. You’ll be amazed at the sheer number of cakes, cookies, and other desserts Ingrid’s master bakers whip up each day.

The 2012 Oklahoma City Autism Walk
April 26th, 2012 · No Comments
There are many different awareness walks and conventions that take place around Oklahoma City throughout the year. This May 5th, is the PieceWalk and 5k marathon put on by the good people at www.autismoklahoma.org.
The reason that this walk is so different from many of the others is that it is local. This group is one that works to make sure that all of the money they raise is directly given to help families with autistic families in Oklahoma, and one hundred percent of the money raised stays in Oklahoma to benefit families here. In fact, the walks for the last two years have helped to provide funding to programs that have benefitted families all throughout the state. There have been close to $87,500 worth of grants awarded in the last two years alone.

The Disney Magic Comes to Oklahoma
March 31st, 2012 · No Comments
Do you love Disney? If you’re like me, some of your earliest childhood memories include watching Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, and Dumbo. If you’ve got kids, you’ve probably introduced them to Belle, Mulan, and, of course, Mickey Mouse. Disney fans of all ages will love the Disney exhibit currently being displayed at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.
Entitled “A Century of Magic: The Animation of the Walt Disney Studios,” this exhibit is made up of over 80 animation cels. The cels come from the private collection of Janis and Domer “Jay” Scaramucci. It opened March 3 and will be on display through September 16.

The Rink Gallery is Definitely an Interesting Experience
February 29th, 2012 · 1 Comment
The Rink’s name is derived from the fact that it used to be an ice skating area where kids of all ages could enjoy playing hockey or figure skating. Now the ice has been removed, and the twenty seven thousand square feet of space has been turned into a winding pathway with thousands of different items showcased by the more than one hundred different dealers and artisans. The high ceilings that were originally built as part of the ice rink, now serve to make the gallery have a very lofty feeling, so that even though the path can feel cramped at times, I did not ever get the feeling of claustrophobia.
