I guess Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning…

And that means six more weeks of winter, right? Let’s check the chart…

Yep, six more weeks of winter then.

Pitchers and catchers report in 16 days. 🙂

Well done, WLWT. Well done. 🙂

Tom Brady and the Pats are champions once again!!!! #HAIL #BostonStrong

It’s Superb Owl Sunday!

We ordered up some more delicious Jet’s Pizza and Jet’s Bread for The Big Game…


YUM!

#GoPats! 🙂

It was another Try Something New Sunday. So today, we decided to try La Mexicana across the river on Monmouth Street in Newport…


I ordered the chicken flautas and Genifer ordered the flag enchiladas…


Delicious stuff. And the portions were huge! We were completely stuffed. Food coma stuffed. In the back, there’s more seating…

Which leads to a little Mexican grocery store…


It was a bit more expensive than our go-to Mexican place, Rio Grande. But we could have totally shared an entree. We really didn’t need to order two. At all. It was a great change of pace. And it’s always fun to try something new. We’ll definitely be back at some point. 🙂

Once again, we made the short jaunt down to US Bank Arena to watch our Cyclones take on the Reading Royals this evening…

It was Pink the Rink night at US Bank Arena, the annual breast cancer awareness game to benefit The Pink Ribbon Girls. The ice had a slight pink tint to it, and ‘Clones wore special jerseys with pink highlights that would be auctioned off after the match.





1-0 Cyclones!



At the end of the first period, it was 1-0 Cyclones…














At the end of the second, the Reading Royals had taken a 2-1 lead…









And the game all kinda went downhill in the third…

The game ended 5-1 Reading. Maybe the Cyclones will do better this Wednesday when they take on those KWings again. We found out the Cyclones have had 22 home games at US Bank Arena so far this season. And we’ve been to 13 of them! Win or lose, we love our Cyclones hockey! 🙂

We ventured over to Nicholson’s on a cold Monday evening…

Tonight was Nicholson’s favorite celebrations of the year, Burns Night They were honoring Robert Burns, one of the most famous Scottish poets and lyricists in history. Burns composed hundreds of songs, poems and letters over a 22 year period of his life. This first recorded Burns celebration was held in July 1801 on the anniversary of his death. Later, the celebration would move to the evening of the anniversary of his birth (January 25, 1759), and would go on become “Burns Night.”

There was live Scottish and Irish music with FinTan…



Young’s Double Chocolate Stout…



We tried a couple of different drinks. I tried a Black Velvet (Guinness floated over cider) and Genifer tried a Snake Bite (Harp floated over Cider). Both were really good stuff!


Fun night. Especially for a chilly Monday. 🙂

It was a cold and rainy day in Cincinnati. We didn’t want to walk anywhere to get a bite to eat. We were really longing to try something new and different. So today, we’re starting something new. We’re calling it Try Something New Sunday. And we’re going to be trying a new restaurant that we’ve never been to before every Sunday. What we were really craving was an amazing Chicago-style deep dish pizza. So after a quick consult of the internet, we decided to hop in the car and venture all the way out to Florence, Kentucky to check out Bourbon House Pizzeria…

It was in kind of an odd location to us. But then again, we might have taken the long way.

With a name like Bourbon House, the inside really wasn’t what we were expecting…

But we’re here and really hungry so let’s eat!

We started off with some garlic knots…

Incredibly soft and delicious. And we also got the mozzarella sticks…

Cheesy deliciousness! You simply can’t go wrong with cheesy sticks of goodness. We ordered a medium Chicago’s Favorite pie topped with sausage, mushrooms and onions. Just look at that monster…

It was definitely worth the drive. Terrific pie!

We did it again. Ordered way too much food. But everything just sounded so good…

And everything was absolutely delicious! We just boxed up the rest, and we’re pretty excited that we’re going to get to enjoy that incredible pie for a couple more meals…

The next time we find ourselves longing for one incredible pizza a bit off the beaten path and a nice car ride, you know we’ll be heading back out to Bourbon House Pizzeria!
Really great stuff! 🙂

We walked down to US Bank Arena this evening to watch our Cyclones play host to my hometown Kalamazoo Wings…






At the end of the first period, the KWings had a 3-1 lead over the ‘Clones…




At the end of the second, it was still 3-1…

















Oh well. You can’t win ’em all. 🙂
