We took delicious Donato’s pizzas and salads out to Geri in West Chester to check on her and make sure she was doing okay in the midst of COVID-19…
She is hanging in there, just like all of us. And the pizzas were delicious. 😀🍕🥗❤️

But first coffee.
Thankfully, Biggby’s drive-thru is still open for the time being…
Would a weekend without delicious Biggby beverages even be a weekend? 😀☕️❤️
I’m sure COVID-19 keep us from getting our weekend morning coffee at some point.

Panda Express.
So believe it or not, we’ve never eaten at a Panda Express. This afternoon we found ourselves out on the Westside at Western Hills Plaza, and we decided to try Panda Express for the very first time…
It was odd trying a place for the first time during a pandemic. There were blue tape lines on the floor so everyone knew how far to stay apart…
It was our turn to order. And there were so many delicious looking options…
We learned that at Panda Express you choose your meal size: a bowl (1 entree & 1 side), plate (2 entrees & 1 side) OR bigger plate (3 entrees & 1 side). And then you choose your entree and side. Panda Express has a bunch of different entree choices…
Genifer ordered a bowl of the Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice. I ordered a plate with Orange Chicken and Mushroom Chicken with fried rice…
Panda Express was really, really good stuff. I think we just found a new place to stop for lunch whenever we find ourselves over on the Westside. 😀🐼🥡❤️

There still aren’t any paper products.
We stopped at Target out on the Westside this morning and there were still no paper products like toilet paper, paper towels or even napkins. Just empty shelves…
We didn’t need any. Thankfully, we had a good supply built up well before there was ever the thought of a pandemic. It’s just crazy to me just how little is available now. People are pretty ridiculous with their hoarding. 😠🧻❤️

Sunny Blu Coffeehouse.
A while back a little coffeehouse in Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood followed me on Instagram. I followed them back. And I’ve been admiring them ever since. The coffeehouse was called Sunny Blu Coffeehouse. And this morning, we finally drove around the corner to Camp Washington to see what they were all about…
Sunny Blu Coffeehouse is super cute on the inside…
Genifer ordered a cappuccino with a little caramel added to it. I pondered what I would get for literally one second before ordering the Hot Vanilla Chocolate. People love their coffee, I love hot chocolate.
Sunny Blu also had some terrific-looking sweets…
But I had to try their french toast breakfast sammich. And we got these Cold Brew Cocktails to try later…
Their french toast breakfast sammich was out-of-this-world good…
We really like Sunny Blu Coffeehouse…
And the best part is that Sunny Blu is located right on our way downtown. Camp Washington is conveniently located between Northside and Over-the-Rhine/Central Business District. It’s great to have another wonderful coffee that we can stop at on our way downtown in the morning. If we ever get to go back downtown again, that is.
I love Google Maps too…
And we love Sunny Blu. We can’t wait to come back. Very often. 😀🌞🔵☕️❤️
Oh, and the cold brew cocktails were really good too. Strong. But really tasty.

Ugh. The time change.
The time changed last night and it’s really messing us up this morning. We were tired…
And there was a wicked fierce glare on their sign…
But Biggby coffee makes everything a little bit better…
After we had our Biggby drinks, we went to the grocery. At Kroger, all Hot Wheels were a dollar. How cool is rat rod?
And there were Hot Tamales Peeps…
Wut? I am not a fan of Peeps. And I bet Hot Tamales Peeps are just gross. 😀☕️❤️

It was a great Saturday.
This morning started with some coffees from Biggby Coffee…
YUM! Biggby has terrific hot chocolate. I love mine with some butterscotch added to it.
After we had our drinks in hand, we stopped at JackRabbit in Obryanville…
At last year’s Higher Gravity Spring Grove Beer Gallop, Genifer won a $125 gift certificate towards a brand new running shoes from JackRabbit. And with this year’s Spring Grove Beer Gallop right around the corner, Genifer thought she’d better get some new running shoes…
Genifer got these Brooks running shoes…
These terrific running shoes only cost her $25. And that’s pretty awesome.
Later, we ran out to get lunch at Freddy’s Steakburgers…
Ohmigosh. I love Freddy’s Steakburgers….
I think I’ve finally zeroed in on my go-to Freddy’s order. I think it’s going to be the original double. This is the original double with bacon…
But next time and into the future, my order will be just the original double with fries…
I used to get the triple steakburger. Sometimes I could do it. But sometimes, it was a real struggle and it was too much. Freddy’s also has a patty melt that is really good. But it’s not like a traditional patty melt. But it’s still really good.
On our way home for Freddy’s, we stopped in College Hill at Brink Brewing. Brink is one of my favorite Cincinnati breweries…
They have such great beers. Our big beer was a King Cake beer. It was awesome. Brink always has something really interesting on tap.
And that was pretty much our Saturday. We were pretty happy that we actually got out and did something on a Saturday…
And it was a great Saturday.

The dingle is in the house.
This afternoon we drove out to West Chester to have lunch with Geri, Alyssa, Cleve, and Pippa at Dingle House…
Dingle House has one of the best fish sammiches around. And somehow, I don’t know that I’ve ever taken a photo of it.
And we dropped our little dingle, Oscar, off at Geri’s so he can stay with grandma while we’re on our trip. He was so excited to be with grandma that he wouldn’t even let me get a “see you later, Oscar” photo. 😀🇮🇪❤️

Happy President’s Day.
Happy President’s Day! We both had the day off work. We used our BOGO coupon again this morning to get more delicious Biggby Coffee…
We drove up to Monroe to check out Cincinnati Premium Outlets…
They had FC Cincinnati gear at the Adidas store but it wasn’t discounted at all…
We didn’t find much at the Outlets. I got a scarf and a pair of boxers. We started to get hungry so we started to drive back towards Cincinnati and stopped to eat in Liberty Township at FlipSide in Liberty Center…
We started with mini corn dogs on a stick…
I love corn dogs! Genifer ordered a hamburger without the bun. I ordered the Say Cheese cheeseburger and put too much mayonnaise on it…
It was a great lunch, the burger was really good and the fries were terrific. And they had this Sir Kensington ketchup that was just out of this world…
After we were done eating lunch, we walked through the shops in Liberty Center…
Genifer got a few things for our upcoming trip. I got a new pair of camo shorts. I’d worn my old camo short out over the last two summers. I’m really happy to have a new pair.
Later, we watched The Forest on Netflix. It was just turrible.
But we had a pretty fun President’s Day. 😀🛍️🍔❤️

Sunday sports day.
This morning we went to get our morning Biggby Coffee…
They had another BOGO coupon on their Instagram…
It’s pretty awesome that they have coupons. Not many coffee places do coupons at all.
And then we went over to Kroger to get some groceries for the week…
I didn’t know there was a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros cereal…
And that’s pretty funny to me because we just had Churros yesterday.
There were some good sports on TV today. We watched Arsenal finally win again, 4-0 over Newcastle United and both Michigan and Wichita State won big. We watched a little bit of the XFL games. And finally, we watched the NBA All-Star Game. And that turned out to be a really good game.
We also made this delicious Donatos oven pizza for our late lunch…
And it turned out to be a really pretty day. We took the dogs on a long walk…
It was just another really relaxing Sunday. 😀🌄❤️
