Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza


 My husband and flew in for a funeral and decided to stay downtown so that we would be close to good restaurants and see some sights. When we first arrived, the bellman could not have been more helpful. He went out of his way to help us by taking our bags and directing us to the parking lot since valet parking is not currently allowed. When we checked in, the front desk clerk treated us like VIPs, explained all the details about the hotel and put us in a beautiful room. She also offered to arrange a tour of the hotel if we wanted it. Now let’s talk about this property. OMG! It is a stunning jewel which has so much architectural beauty it takes your breath away. The rich history of this hotel was such an unexpected treat, we almost forgot we were not there on vacation.






Orchids at Palm Court The hotel was rather empty when we arrived, but the food we ordered was cooked perfectly and delicious. The bottle of wine we wanted was not available, so the manager gave us another wine at not additional charge. Breakfast on Friday was just wonderful. The portions were huge, the wait staff was prompt and courteous and everything was cooked to perfection.

Bluevua RO100ROPOT Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter

Image
  I bought this machine to purify my own drinking water at home and get away from all of the plastic bottles we have. It is super-easy to use and the water is crisp and clean tasting. You just fill the tank, set the amount of water you want and hit the start button. It is very important to remember that you have to dump out the water from the tank after each use.   It is a little lopsided due to the filter cartridges being on one side, but it’s easy enough to move around. I love that we are helping the planet. It will pay for itself in no time.

EASY OVEN-ROASTED POTATO CRISPS

Image
  Ingredients: 5 medium red potatoes 1 tablespoon Olive oil 1 tablespoon Italian bread-dipping herbs 1 teaspoon chives for garnish   Instructions: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thinly slice potatoes by hand or with the help of a mandolin Place in large bowl and add olive oil and the bread dipping herbs. Place in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until crispy. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.   Notes: You can use any potatoes you have handy.   I like red potatoes for their slightly sweet flavor. If you don’t have bread-dipping herbs, you can use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano and dried basil.
