It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made another of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef meal kits for dinner tonight. This one was Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushroom Pasta…

And it was another really good meal. This one was just a little on the spicy side. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ„โค๏ธ

It was a good morning.

This morning Coffee Emporium had a barista visiting Grey Midwest

She was making espresso an drip coffees and hot chocolates for everyone…

Coffee Emporium’s hot chocolate was really delicious…

So this morning I ended up having two hot chocolates. It was my lucky day! Both of them were really good. And it was also really foggy this morning downtown…

It was a pretty good morning in downtown Cincinnati. ๐Ÿ˜€โ˜•๏ธ๐ŸŒซ๏ธโค๏ธ

It’s what’s for dinner.

We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight…

Here’s what my spaghetti looked like after I covered it with dust cheese…

My garlic bread was hiding. I love spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿโค๏ธ

Seen and noted: Sunday morning edition.

This morning we got up early to go over to get our weekend Biggby Coffee

Genifer tried their Starry Night Latte. She said it was really good. And I got my Cocoa Carmella hot chocolate with butterscotch…

I get the same thing every time. Once we had our drinks, we headed over to Kroger to get some groceries. Valentine’s Day is next weekend and the Valentine’s Day stuff was pretty much everywhere…

We saw another chocolate Perfect Man

We saw the perfect Valentine for a man…

All these adorable llamas said hey…

Also, chocolate Easter bunnies are out on shelf at Kroger…

I don’t know when Easter is this year. But it feels pretty early for Easter bunnies.

And we saw this panda bear in the international food aisle…

The panda was filled with these weird jello cups with floating bits of fruit…

I wonder if they’re any good? The Asian section of the international food aisle is usually where the odd ball stuff is stored.

There’s always something mildly interesting at the grocery store. ๐Ÿ˜€โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ’—โฃ๏ธโค๏ธ

Two years ago.

Two years ago, I had my first hip replacement surgery…

There are still the occasional aches and pains, both hips are still 100% better than they used to be before my replacement surgeries. Thanks, Timehop!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฆ•โค๏ธ

Oh, and remember when I got to eat magic middles in bedโ€ฆ

YUM! But I’m really happy my hips are better now. It wasn’t any fun when they were all messed up and hurting.ย ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฅโค๏ธ

We watched a couple of classics.

Tonight, we watched a couple of classics on Disney Plus. First, we watched Willow

And then we watched The Black Hole

Genifer had never seen The Black Hole before. I remember having Maximillan, Vincent and Old Bob toys when I was little. It was pretty fun to watch a couple of classics that I hadn’t seen for a really long time. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ“บโค๏ธ

Almost National Pizza Day.

This afternoon we went over to Taftโ€™s Brewpourium for another lunch with our gift cards we got for Christmasโ€ฆ

We got their BBQ chicken wings too…

And we had one of Taft’s terrific Hazelnut Latte Coffee Milk Stoutsโ€ฆ

Only come to find out later that tomorrow is National Pizza Day. I guess we just got too excited and celebrated the delicious holiday early. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”โค๏ธ

Lazy Saturday mornings are the best.

But Oscar just wanted to go on a walk…

Good morning from Northside. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Goodnight moon.

There was an almost full moon tonight…

My moon app said it was 97.6% full moon tonight. Tomorrow is supposed to be 99.9% full moon. But it’s been so cloudy that you have to take the almost full moon views when you can. Goodnight moon. ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒ•โค๏ธ

Downtown details.

It was cold outside today. I was going to walk through the Skywalk to avoid the cold on my way to the bus. On my way to the Skywalk, I noticed that the Millenium Hotel was closed and undergoing a liquidation sale…

I walked through the Hyatt Regency up to the second floor across The Skywalk over to Carew Tower. Carew Tower was having their 2020 Fight For Air Climb to support the American Lung Association by climbing the 804 Stairs over 45 floors of Carew Tower…

I was going to continue on through the Skywalk from Carew Tower across Fifth Street to Fountain Place but that portion Skywalk was closed…

I left Carew Tower and noticed the skating rink on Fountain Square had been taken down, just as it’s starting to feel like actual skating weather…

The Booksellers on Fountain Square is closed now…

Looking inside Fountain Place everything is closed. And that made me wonder what happened to Palomino up on the second floor

I went to see if Palomino was still there and it didn’t look good…

And Palomino’s gone and that’s pretty sad. I was happy to see that the Toynbee Tile was still on Seventh Streetโ€ฆ

And I noticed that there was a new-to-me Artworks mural on the side of the Hustler just a little ways down Seventh Street…

I walked by Deskey and they removed the mantra they had on their front windows

I always thought the mantra was kind of ridiculous. The almost full moon was already starting to pop out from behind the buildings…

And the exterior of the building at the corner of Eighth and Main Streets looked really close to being completed…

It’s interesting to me how much things can change downtown over just a few months but also just how much things stay the same. And the only real constant is change.
