Timehopping.

Two years ago, I was recovering from my second hip replacement surgery…

Three years ago today, FC Cincinnati’s magical 2017 US Open Cup run continued as FC|C defeated Chicago Fire on penalties in the Round of 16.Β It was an amazing night that will forever be etched in Cincinnati sports lore…

Thinking about that night still gives me chills.

And four years ago, we officially moved into our house in Northside…

Unpacking is just the worst. I’m glad we’re all settled into our great big house now. And we said goodbye to our little apartment downtown…

Five years ago, Cincinnati was getting ready to host the MLB All-Star Game…

Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Timehop.Β πŸ˜€πŸ¦•πŸ•β€οΈ

 

Flowers & March First.

Good morning from Northside. It was pretty grey and overcast…

This morning we ran over to Lowe’s get a few things. I really liked these flowers…

They are so pretty. I want to get some of them. We’ll just have to figure out where we can put them. Maybe we could put them on the side of our house after our backyard fence is replaced in the beginning of September. So maybe next summer?

Later, we headed out to suburbia to have lunch at March First Brewing

We started with a flight of stouts and porters…

All of the beers in our flight were really tasty. We tried a couple of their seltzers. Genifer had their peach and I had their watermelon. Both of them were really delicious…

And we shared one of their Hawaiian pizzas…

Their Hawaiian pizza was so good. It was kind of unusual because they put pulled pork on top of it. But it worked really well and it was delicious. We really like March First.

We brought home a six-pack of their Astra Bomb Pop seltzer

It was supposed to taste just like a Bomb Pop. And they nailed it. I swear you could even taste the little wooden stick in the middle. It was really a great seltzer. It was so good that we just sat out on our back porch and drank them all this evening.

It was a pretty good Saturday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸŒΌπŸΊπŸ•β€οΈ

Coasting into the weekend.

Good morning from Northside…

We ran over to Kroger to get a few groceries. I noticed these crazy striped peppers in the produce section. I’ve never seen anything like them before…

And of course, we stopped at Biggby Coffee…Β 

For dinner tonight, Genifer made this vegetable tikka masala over rice…

For just a little pouch you warm up and serve over rice, it was really outstanding. Next time we’re at Whole Foods, we definitely going to have to get some more. It was really surprisingly good for how easy it was to prepare.

And good evening from Northside…

It was a pretty good Friday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β˜•οΈπŸ›β€οΈ

#TBT Pause for paws.

Five years ago, we went up north to visit my parents in Michigan…

Milan made the trip with us, and he just loved my exploring parent’s backyard…

And a couple that didn’t make it to Instagram…

This one was in my Timehop too…

Always remembering all the good times with the bud dog. πŸ˜€πŸΎβ€οΈ

NYPD Pizza party!

Good morning from Northside. It was a very pretty morning…

Looking through my sunglasses, it looked like there was a dust storm or something along the horizon in the distance. I tried to take a photo of it through my glasses…

It was weird that I could only really see it through my glasses. So I wonder if it was my eyes playing tricks on me because I was just reading about the massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert that is crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

After work, we had an NYPD Pizza party

It had really been a while since the last time we had an NYPD Pizza party

Ohmigosh. It was so delicious. We love NYPD Pizza parties.

Good evening from Northside…

It was a pretty and pretty tasty Thursday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ•β€οΈ

Congratulations, Liverpool.

I’m not a big Liverpool fan but I thought this video from Bleacher Report celebrating Liverpool’s first league title in 30 years was pretty poignant…

I’m not crying. You’re crying. Well done, Bleacher Report. Congratulations, Liverpool. Your long wait for a league title is finally over. πŸ™‚βš½οΈπŸ†β€οΈ

Hello from Northside.

Good morning from Northside…

When we got home from our walk, the light was coming through the curtains in the living room and illuminating the vase on our little table. It thought it was very pretty…

We hadΒ another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express mealsΒ for dinner tonight. The Kroger meals don’t usually repeat much at all. But the last time we were at Kroger, they had the Asiago Turkey Meatballs with tomato basil couscous again…

It was another really delicious dinner. We really like theΒ Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.

And good evening from Northside…

It was a Wednesday. πŸ˜€πŸ—“οΈβ€οΈ

Cloudy with a chance of crab cakes.

Good morning from Northside…

It was pretty grey and overcast this morning. The blue skies were trying hard to make an appearance this evening…

Good evening from Northside…

When we got out to our backyard, the grey clouds were moving back in…

Genifer made crab-stuffed mushrooms for dinner tonight…

They were delicious. And that was our Tuesday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β˜οΈπŸ¦€β€οΈ

Hello from Northside.

Good morning from Northside…

Our little bush had even more blooms on it this morning than it did yesterday

And good evening from Northside…

There was a guy jumping rope at the top of the steps, and it terrified Mack to his core. I’ve never seen him have such a reaction of pure terror. It was really weird.

After our walk and after Mack regained his composure, we slowed down to grill…

We grilled four burgers from Whole Foods that I forgot to take a photo of, and we grilled two beautiful pieces of marinated salmon…

And we wrapped it up with some chicken sausages…

Oh. We also grilled two ears of corn that I didn’t take a photo of. It was the first time we ever grilled corn. It was a bit of an adventure. But it turned out great. I cut all kernels off the cob to get this amazing little container of gold…

It was a pretty nice night to be out in the backyard…

Good night from Northside. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ”₯❀️

Happy Father’s Day.

Today was Father’s Day. We hope all the dads had a wonderful day. Genifer The dogs got me an awesome new BBQ utensil set and a super-cool new Reds t-shirt for Father’s Day. It was really very unexpected. She’s the best wife. They’re the best dogs.

Good morning from Northside…

One of the little bushes we planted in our front yard is full of little blossoms…

We ran over to Kroger this morning…

Someone bought the train that was full of jello cups in the International aisle. And now there is this jello cup filled panda bear…

Every time we go to Kroger in Oakley, this baby cart is in the cart corral…

After we were done at the grocery, we got the Audi washed at Mike’s Carwash…

And while we were over in that part of town, we had to stop for our weekend edition of Biggby Coffee

We were so mad. We forgot to bring our reusable straws today…

But our drinks were delicious as always!

Laters, we went over to Taft’s Brewpourium for pizza…

Taft’s was having a Father’s Day special…

A large short rib pizza, caesar salad, a loaf of cheesy bread, and a growler for just $45?

YES PLEASE! I like watching the world go by through Taft’s garage doors…

While we were waiting for our pizza to arrive at our table, we watched the monsoon that had just started dropping sheets of water out of nowhere…

And there it is! Our delicious pizza…

We just ate on the pizza. We took home the cheesy bread, caesar salad, our growler and about half of the pizza…

When we were getting ready to head out, I super long train started rolling by Taft’s too…

Trains are so cool. I could sit and watch the trains go by all day.

On our way home, we stopped at Second Place for a bourbon slush…

When we walked the dogs, the asphalt in the parking lot atop the hill at the end of our street was steaming…

Good evening from Northside…

And we ended our weekend by hanging out in our backyard…

It was a really good Sunday. πŸ˜€πŸ—“οΈβ€οΈ
