It was pretty rainy afternoon in downtown Cincinnati…
And a pretty grey and overcast, melancholy evening…
But later, there were some pretty spectacular night clouds…

A treasured seasonal treat is back: Frisch’s pumpkin pie!
Frisch’s Big Boy has been baking pumpkin pie from the same closely guarded secret recipe and the best-available, highest-quality ingredients for over 50 years. Famous for the flaky, handmade pastry crust, creamy pumpkin filling and the perfect balance of special spices, Frisch’s pumpkin pie is a dessert worthy of even the most deserving individuals.
We were invited to tour the Frisch’s Big Boy bakery in Cincinnati to see how they bake their pies fresh, each day. But the scheduling didn’t work out. And unfortunately, we missed out on a great opportunity to see where all that deliciousness is made. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I had to pick up a Frisch’s pumpkin pie just for the two of us so we wouldn’t have to share…
Look at that pumpkin pie gorgeousness…
And that is what pure pumpkin pie heaven looks like. It’s still easily some of the best pumpkin pie I’ve had ever had. Thanks to Frisch’s Big Boy and the Powers Agency for hooking us up with one of their delicious pumpkin pies. You should definitely pick up a couple, three pies for your Thanksgiving celebrations. You’ll be thankful you did. YUM! 🙂

This afternoon we went up to the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium, future home of FC Cincinnati for an open house to get some information on season tickets and do a stadium walkthrough to try to get an idea of where we’d like to sit for the inaugural season of FC Cincinnati soccer…
We reserved our spot in line for season tickets the day it was announced that Cincinnati was getting a USL soccer team…
FC Cincinnati’s Jeff Smith was on hand to answer any questions about the season ticket program…
The view from the club level…
We were told that midfield would be around the 40-45 yard line. And that we learned that come soccer season in March/April, all the football lines will be gone, and the field will only be lined for soccer; a true soccer field. All very exciting news. But anyway, we’re thinking about getting seats right around here…
We really can’t wait for the start of the inaugural season of FC Cincinnati soccer! 🙂

When we were out on our morning dog walk, we stumbled across the “Good Morning America” 40th anniversary tour bus outside of the P&G General Offices on a “40 for 40” Express bus stop in downtown Cincinnati…
There’s something you won’t see every day. 🙂

Ugh. Monday mornings, amiright? Oscar was all snug as a bug in a rug. And he had his duck and jelly sammich close by. That’s you how you deal with a Monday. Just ignore it, and hope it will go away…
We could tell if he was missing Milan, bummed about the Bengals losing their first game of the season or just ready for bed…
Oscar, the little bud dog. He’s a character. 🙂

After Genifer got home from work, we ventured over across the river to Covington…
To finally check out Braxton Brewing Company…
I was tinkering with the idea of coming over yesterday to check it out. Braxton was having a Block Party. But I thought it would be way more fun to wait and check out Braxton for the first time with Genifer.
We got a taster flight with Storm Golden Cream Ale, Dead Blow Tropical Stout, Dead Blow brewed with Starter Coffee and Level Saison…
The Dead Blow with Starter Coffee was out of this world. Was it beer? Was it coffee? There’s no need to decide. It was just pure amazing.
After the taster, I got a Storm and Genifer got a Dead Blow on nitro…
We followed that up with two of the Dead Blows brewed with Starter Coffee. Outstanding.
Google Maps has an awesome 360º interactive view of the interior of the Braxton taproom…
We hung out and watched the Pats eek out the one-point win over the Giants.
Great beers. Awesome place. We’ll definitely be back! 🙂

When we were walking Oscar this morning, they were hanging the giant holiday wreathes around the P&G Global Offices…
I guess it’s getting towards that time of year. It’s beginning to look like the holiday season. I just really wish the Christmas decorations would start making their appearance closer to Christmas. At least after Thanksgiving.

Oscar was just hanging out on our bed after the hockey game this evening…
Silly head. He’s so cute. 🙂
