It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made Hamburger Helper for dinner tonight…

It’s been ages since I’ve had Hamburger Helper. And it was Cheesy Hamburger Helper and she made garlic bread to go with it…

And it was really good! Surprisingly good. It reminded me of a cheesy goulash. 😀🍲❤️

Crown Republic’s walk-up pastry window.

This afternoon I walked down Eighth Street to Crown Republic to see if I could find the fabled Crown Republic pastry window that I saw mentioned on their Instagram. I was looking for these cookies in particular…

And there it was. The Crown Republic pastry window. And there was also a door…

I managed to get us some goodies for later…

I got us a chocolate pound cake and those delicious-looking chocolate chip cookies…

The pastry window/door is a brilliant idea. And the pastries were delicious! 😀🍪❤️

You saw it here first.

It’s August 1st. And the CVS downtown has Halloween Candy out on the shelves…

August 1st. Please stop rushing my summer. Thank you. 😀🎃❤️

This is what I’ve waiting for.

This morning was my very first physical therapy with two new hips. I’ve been waiting so long for this moment. I’m very excited to start working on making both legs stronger…

I look forward to the day when I can walk again without any pain or discomfort. And hopefully, that day is quickly approaching very soon. Taken with Instagram. 😀🏥❤️

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day! We didn’t do much of anything all day except for fire up the grill…

We had a bunch of Cheddarwurst, Queen City Sausages and leftover veggie burgers…

Oscar made sure he was out in the backyard supervising the grilling…

We hope everyone had a great long Labor Day weekend. 😀🇺🇸🌭🍔❤️

Tag! You’re it.

It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made us BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes for dinner tonight…

YUM! 😀🐔❤️

Seen and noted.

I saw these succulents outside of Woods hardware on Ninth Street…

I always want to bring home all the succulents. Taken with Instagram. 😀🌵❤️

OrderUp: Chicago Gyros and Dogs.

I love me some gyros. But I don’t eat nearly enough of them, mainly because there aren’t that many gyro places around. When I ride my 17 metro bus from work home every night, it goes right by a place in Clifton called Chicago Gyros and Dogs. So it was kind of surprising that we’ve never checked them out. Tonight, we tapped OrderUp to bring us some much-needed gyros…

Genifer ordered the chicken gyro stuffed full of grilled chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, onions and taz sauce…

I ordered just the classic gyro loaded with tons of delicious gyro meat, tomatoes, onions and taz sauce…

And I had to try something Chicago Gyros and Dogs called “The Dougie.” It’s gyro meat on a grilled cheeses…

Their gyros aren’t the most beautiful things in the world. And it’s pretty hard to get a really nice, appetizing photo of a gyro. But there was so much meat on those gyros that they were also pretty difficult to pick up and eat. But they sure were delicious. Next time we have a craving for gyros, we know where to turn. 😀🥙❤️

Pause for paws.

When a little crazy pops up on your Timehop

😀❤️
