We love chocolate – but why do we associate it so much with love, especially around Valentine’s Day? A few reasons, according to conventional wisdom and some (not entirely conclusive) scientific research. Chocolate has two components, phenethylamine and tryptophan, that are relevant to brain function and love. “The former is a stimulant that is released in the brain when we fall in love, while the latter helps to produce serotonin, a brain chemical associated with elevated moods and sexual arousal,” says a PBS guide to aphrodisiacs. “In addition to all of this, the sweet taste and velvety texture of chocolate…

I resisted trying Jamaican jerk seasoning for years. It seemed strange to me to add cinnamon to savory dishes. Then, I was introduced to Cincinnati-style chili, which also uses cinnamon in a savory dish (along with chocolate!). I realized cinnamon really could get along with savory flavors.  I figured if I could learn to love cinnamon in chili, I could learn to like it in chicken or other dishes as well. So I attempted to make Jamaican jerk chicken seasoning at home. My first try wasn’t successful. It turns out, cinnamon has to be kept in a very careful balance.…

I don’t talk about it often enough, but Club 185 in German Village is one of my favorite hangouts. I just love the approachable neighborhood vibe, the long bar with big mirrors and colorful lights, the brick walls, the inexpensive and easy-to-love food and drink.

And as if there isn’t plenty of reason to love the local institution, did you know you can stay there? Keep scrolling down to…

Be the first to rate & review! 1 Photo This one-pan Middle Eastern spiced beef and chickpea skillet draws on warm, aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and allspice to create a savory, deeply comforting dish with a subtle Middle Eastern influence. Fresh herbs and an optional dollop of yogurt finish it off, making a quick weeknight meal that tastes far more indulgent than the effort involved. Serve it over rice for a satisfying, complete dinner. Published on February 10, 2026
