When meeting up with a few friends in Milan, our friend Husky said “do you want to try the best Ramen of your life?” and, curious, Dann and I headed there. Sadly, they were heading off to the airport, but we were excited to try out what could be the best ramen ever. When we arrived at Takumi Ramen Kitchen, the atmosphere was fantastic. The internal decorations were cute, the waitress was nice, and we were excited to take on some lovely food.
[Ad- gifted product] Stomp the Plank is one of those board games that you take out of the box, realize that you need to use the box, and are instantly impressed. All of the pieces; the boat, planks, and the characters, are absolutely fantastic! It’s a very easy game to learn, but difficult to master when it comes to the luck aspect of the game. It’s one of those push your luck style games, this time with a story about stealing treasure from a Pirate!

[Ad- gifted product] We love a little bit of unique color in our home! Suncatchers are a real favorite, as our home has a lot of big windows, that feel perfect for catching the sun. We do have a bunch of plants in our dining area’s windows, along with a single large suncatcher handmade by a friend of mine, as well as suncatchers that stick to the glass of your windows on the windows to the front of our house.

Sophia Loren is a film star, something I didn’t realize until we were seated and I read the menu, which has a bunch of text about how she wanted to open an Italian restaurant because she loves food. But, it’s really the taste of the food that matters.

[Ad- gifted product] I have always heard about those toaster pastries, but it turns out, they aren’t the originals! Toast’ems Pop-ups, previously called Post Country Squares, were made in 1963, before Kellogg’s version of the pastry came out later that year. It’s interesting to see what brands become household names!
