FC Cincinnati x Cincy Shirts.

I’ll be the first to admit it. I love rally towels. Like, really love rally towels. I don’t know how or where it all started, probably with the Reds NLDS game 3 back in 2010 and then it got cemented with the Reds NLDS game 3 in 2012. I started carrying one of those Reds rally towels with me everywhere I went. And now I just really love rally towels. I seek them out. And track them down. No matter where I go, I always seem to have at least one, stuffed in a pocket. More than likely, there’s another one stuffed in my bag. I have at least one for almost every major sports team I support. But I didn’t have an FC Cincinnati rally towel. So imagine how excited I was to see this post from Cincy Shirts this morning…

Thankfully, I had Summer Hours this afternoon. When Genifer picked me up from work, we beat feet up Main Street into Over-the-Rhine to Cincy Shirts OtR location…

But it turns out somehow the FC|C rally towels were only at the Cincy Shirts Hyde Park location. So much to Genifer’s chagrin, we were back in the car heading to Hyde Park. Long story very short, we both got a new FC Cincinnati t-shirt from Cincy Shirts…

And now we finally have FC|C rally towels…

Once again, all is good in the world. 😀⚽️❤️

Good evening.

We walked Oscar a little later than usual and it was really pretty outside this evening…

It’s what’s for dinner.

As I mentioned earlier, Genifer’s been trying out all the new line Kroger Prep+Pared meals where all the ingredients you need are included right in the box. Tonight, she prepared the Vietnamese-Inspired spicy lemongrass pork with coconut rice & cabbage salad…

Is it just me or do these meals keep sounding better and better?

And it was delicious…

It might be my favorite one yet! Every one of these meals that we’ve tried has been excellent. And they’re still cheap than going out to dinner. YUM! 😀🐷❤️

It’s really tough to say goodbye to these two in the morning…

We have our tickets!

It’s going to be the NEW biggest match of the season! Heck. It’s going to be the biggest match in the short but remarkable history of FC Cincinnati…

Our tickets for the huge US Open Cup semi-final match between FC Cincinnati and New York Red Bulls of MLS tarrived in the mail last night…

And it’s a good thing we’re season ticket holders with the first opportunity to buy our tickets to the match almost immediately after the US Open Cup quarter-final win over Miami FC because it was just announced this morning that CINvNY is officially…

Tickets went on sale to the general public yesterday at 1 pm and this morning it was just announced that FC Cincy’s US Open Cup semi-finalmatch at Nippert Stadium is officially SOLD OUT! FC|C President and General Manager Jeff Berding said the sales team sold 16,000 tickets in roughly seven hours. WOW. Just wow.

“The atmosphere at Nippert Stadium is going to be spectacular.” And I cannot wait!
😀⚽️🏆❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared meals with all the ingredients you need included in the box for dinner tonight. This time it was a Chimichurri Steak with burnt carrots and goat cheese. It sounded pretty tasty to me…

Those meals sure are delicious. Genifer also got a Kroger Prep+Pared Vietnamese-inspired pork meal that we’re going to try later in the week. YUM! 😀🥩❤️

Habañero Burrito Monday!

It’s been a while since we last did a Habañero Burrito Monday…

We brought home two burritos and chips and salsa for just $11.75. You can’t beat that…

Habañero’s burritos are huge and oh so tasty. 😀🌯❤️

We ate this.

It was so good when we had it on Friday that we shared another amazing NYPD cheese pizza this evening…

Their cheese pizza so good and so incredibly inexpensive. It’s really hard not to order it all the time. 😀🍕❤️

Our Community Shield.

Another season of English Premier League soccer is almost upon us! In honor of Arsenal beating Chelsea on penalties in the annual FA Community Shield match…
