Cincinnati

Cuisine

Cincinnati has its own native cuisine, including Cincinnati Chili and goetta.

Noona's former neighbor blogged about the tour of Cinci she would give to visitors: https://visualingual.wordpress.com/category/cincinnati/

Catering

Gave a gift certificate for a week of Green Eats cooking to Noona for Christmas/her 40th (2010-2011).

Servatii for pretzel sandwiches. Noona got these for her students' receptions in 2010 and 2011.
