Every now and then I find myself going somewhere to eat that I am sure I will not like. However, since I do not like to be the squeaky wheel or prevent people from going somewhere just because I do not think I will like it, I go along. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised though, and this was the case the other day when I went into a new restaurant based on salads, CoolGreens.

Wizards Rock Out for Charities
January 31st, 2010 · 4 Comments
Last year, I mentioned that a local Harry Potter group was hosting their first annual charity ball near the new year. Well, this year, the Oklahoma Wizards League (OWL), is back, and they’ve moved their ball to the day before Valentine’s Day. While last year’s wizard rock extravaganza was called the Yule Ball and was winter-themed, this year, the theme is Carousing With Cupid. Once again, it will feature some of the top wizard rock bands from around the country. This year’s concert will be hosted by the one and only Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, the only Hogwarts professor to acknowledge Valentine’s Day in the book series.

Give Back This Holiday Season
October 31st, 2009 · No Comments
As the holiday season begins here in Oklahoma City, I’d like to take a short minute to remind everyone that the season isn’t just about buying gifts, eating a lot of food, and spending time with friends and family. The holiday season is also about giving back and about remembering and helping those less fortunate. OKC, like all major cities, has its share of homeless, jobless, and those who have fallen on hard times.

The Mayflower Congregational Church has a number of different speakers come in each year. For August, they have three scholars speaking as part of their 2009 Distinguished Pulpit Series. All three are speaking on very interesting topics, and if you happen to be in town and interested in religion, you may enjoy visiting Mayflower.
The speaker for August 2nd is Rev. Dr. Lisa Wolfe. Rev. Wolfe is currently working on a project involving the Biblical figures of Ruth, Esther, Judith, and the Song of Songs. She currently holds the Endowed Chair of Hebrew Bible at Oklahoma City University, and she has been ordained by the United Church of Christ.

Unique Oklahoma Gifts
November 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments
If you live in Oklahoma or you’re going to be visiting soon and doing a little holiday shopping, you might want to consider buying some unique and authentic Oklahoma gifts. There are a few different things Oklahoma has to offer that just aren’t available in other states.
The first item on my Oklahoma gift list is Watonga cheese. I was afraid there would be a Watonga cheese shortage for Christmas since the main plant was destroyed by a tornado, but I’m glad to report that they’re back up and running, so there will be plenty of cheese to go around this year. You can purchase Watonga cheese by the block, in wheels, or in shapes, including cheese in the shape of Oklahoma. The company also sells several other food items, including crackers, seasonings, and sauces, letting you create a great gift basket for those who love cheese.
