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! 😀🥩❤️

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. 😀🌯❤️

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. 😀🍕❤️

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…
We made a whole bunch of little pancake community shields of our own…
Turns out, the community shield is delicious with plenty of syrup and a big helping of scrambled eggs! 😀⚽️🏆🥞❤️
ps. English Premier League is back in full effect next weekend!

I switched my Summer Hours with a coworker today so she didn’t have to use a half vacation day. So we didn’t get to go on any adventures. But we will next week. This evening we just ordered a large cheese pizza from NYPD Pizza...
And it was amazing. I had forgotten just how good a plain cheese pizza could be. We also got some delicious NYPD popcorn chicken as well…
Such good stuff. Afterwards, we watched some of the Reds game and a couple of pretty bad movies on Netflix. It was a really nice, low-key relaxing Friday. 😀🍕🐔🎬❤️

The pretty flowers on our tree in our front yard were covered in dew this morning…
And there were some more really beautiful clouds above Northside this evening…

FC CINCINNATI’S EPIC US OPEN CUP RUN WILL CONTINUE! 
FC Cincinnati defeated Miami FC of the NASL 1-0 on the road in Miami with a goal by Djiby, his fourth of this incredibly magical US Open Cup run. And with that, FC|C has made it to the semi-finals of the 2017 US Open Cup!
Per Orange & Blue Press, Djiby is the first player in the Modern Era to score four game-winning goals in the same US Open Cup tournament. At the end of the pitch, FC|C’s star goalkeeper Mitch Hildebrandt hasn’t allowed a goal in 469 minutes of US Open Cup play. Starting from the 11th minute of the 2016 USOC loss to Tampa Bay, Hildebrandt has not conceded a single goal, leaving him just 4 minutes shy of the modern-day record, held by Jon Conway. Conway had a 473 consecutive minutes streak for San Jose between 2000 and 2001. And if you string Mitch’s streak together with Dallas Jaye’s 120 minutes of clean-sheet play versus AFC Cleveland in the second round, FC Cincy hasn’t allowed a goal in a staggering 589 minutes of US Open Cup play, also a Modern Era record. Zero goals conceded in 589 minutes of play. WOW!
There are now just four teams left in the 2017 US Open Cup: San Jose Earthquakes, Sporting Kansas City, New York Red Bulls and our FC Cincinnati…
In the 2017 USOC semi-final, FC|C will face New York Red Bulls. AT NIPPERT STADIUM.
FC|C will host the Red Bulls after wins against AFC Cleveland, Louisville City FC, Columbus Crew, Chicago Fire and now Miami FC. With their win over Miami, FC Cincinnati became the first non-MLS side to reach the US Open Cup semi-finals since Richmond Kickers in 2011. And while a USL team has not made the USOC semi-finals since 2011, a USL squad has not hosted a semi-final draw since 2008, back when Charleston hosted and beat the then-USL Seattle Sounders.
Regardless of what happens against Red Bulls, it’s been such an epic US Open Cup run. It’s been like the Energizer bunny, it just keeps going and going and going. Hopefully, they can keep it going again. We’ll see you at the 2017 US Open Cup semi-finals!
😀🏆⚽️❤️

UPDATE: Djiby will miss the semi-final match for an accumulation of yellow cards. 😬

This evening FC Cincinnati played away to Miami FC in the quarter-finals of the 2017 US Open Cup. And there were numerous watch parties around the city and Northside was no exception. We headed down to Second Place to meet up with our friend JJ and one of her friends. We arrived about a half hour before the match and Second Place was already packed. There weren’t any open seats at the bar, in fact, there weren’t any open seats to be found in the whole place. It was standing room only…
And as the match got underway, it kept getting more and more crowded…
With the match still 0-0 at halftime, we decided to break camp and watch the second half just up the block at Higher Gravity. We made it just before it started pouring…
We managed to actually find a seat at Higher Gravity, and watch FC|C knock Miami FC out of the US Open Cup by the final score of 1-0…
Can you believe it? Our FC Cincinnati is moving on to the 2017 US Open Cup semi-finals! What an incredible night! 😀⚽️🏆❤️
