Our Time Warner cable and internet went out last night around 8 o’clock. When we woke
up this morning, it was sill out. Not a big deal, just pretty annoying. I was happy to see
these two Time Warner vans outside of our building when I was leaving for work…

Thankfully when I came home at lunch to check on it, everything was fully functional again.
With all the Cincinnati Streetcar construction going on downtown, I really wonder if someone
didn’t clip a cable line that they shouldn’t have.

After the last couple days of really gorgeous almost spring-like weather, this morning was
cloudy and rainy and cold with the temperature dropping by the minute…


And then, it started sprinkling…

As we were rounding the corner for home, we were caught in a torrential downpour. This
afternoon, I looked out my window at work and it was snowing. Again. This evening wasn’t
much better. It was just downright cold. And the sky looked near apocalyptic…




There is no spring, only Zuul.

Moerlein Lager House has recently started running a Monday night dinner special called
Blues, Brews & BBQ’s. Their BBQ plate is just $15.99 and includes 1/3 rack of ribs, pulled
pork and smoked sausage served with a corn cake, green beans and cole slaw and your
choice of BBQ sauce. You never beat the view from the upstairs of the Lager House…

And here it is… Moerlein Lager House’s BBQ plate…


WOW! Delicious, heavenly BBQ! Everything was delicious. But I tell you what, that corn
cake was the star of the show for us. It was outstanding, and paired perfectly with all the
BBQ meats. As did the green beans. You can never go wrong with some green beans!
Genifer ordered their BBQ Chicken Flatbread and a side of french fries…

Everything we’ve ever ordered at Lager House has been nothing short of terrific.


And we’ll definitely be back on another Monday for more of their delicious BBQ meats! 🙂

We went back over to Red Roost Tavern in the Hyatt Regency for dinner this evening…


While we were there, we stumbled across this really outstanding hazelnut double brown
ale called Chickow! from Cincinnati’s own Triple Digit Brewery…


I would go back just for the beer alone. But we also ordered dinner…

Last time we were at Red Roost, Genifer ordered a delightful Summer Salad. But with
Red Roost’s concept being farm to table, they didn’t have the Summer Salad since it’s
not summer. She ordered this spectacular Quinoa Salad with winter squash, walnuts,
arugula, roasted tomatoes and apple cider vinaigrette…

It was delicious. Last time we were here, I had the Bison Burger. They were out of it this
time. So I just ordered the equally delicious Grass-Fed Burger…


And we shared their amazing French Onion soup…

Delicious, delicious stuff. We’ll definitely be hurrying back to get a couple more Chickow!
And another incredible meal very soon! 🙂

Walking through Fountain Square this evening, we noticed the Square’s still missing its’ stage…

I wonder what they’re going to do for all the St. Patty’s Day festivities on the Square?

It’s a sign of spring! The BB Riverboats are back on the Ohio River…



I don’t know that the BB Riverboats don’t run in the winter or not. But it’s been quite some
time since I’ve seen one on the Ohio. And who says Cincinnati doesn’t have any beaches…

We saw this make-shift beach along the Serpentine Wall at Yeatman’s Cove. 🙂

Tonight was the parade that kicked off the 22nd annual Bockfest in downtown Cincinnati…


And as usual, a bunch of goats made it out for the parade…


TOTES McGOATS! We didn’t make it over for the parade this year. But I’m pretty sure that
it was almost exactly same as previous years. Like 2013 or 2012 or 2011 or 2010. 🙂

We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. And then went to Kroger to get some groceries
at Newport Pavilion. While we filling our gas tank at the Kroger Fuel Station, we could see
the fireworks from Horseshoe Casino’s one-year anniversary celebration. It’s kinda crazy
that we could see their fireworks from all the way on the other side of the river…



Happy one-year anniversary to Cincinnati’s Horseshoe Casino. We’re so incredibly sorry
we missed out on your “big” one-year anniversary t-shirt giveaway.

We didn’t do much tonight. Not much at all. 🙂

It’s March 2nd. And we’re still getting more snow. We went on our dog walk this evening
in yet another snowy downtown winter wonderland…

Sometimes when you’re getting pulled around the block by dogs, you get blurry photos. 🙂







I’ve never been more ready for spring in my entire life.
