We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Hoisin Pulled Pork with jasmine rice…
It was really good. There was a really delicious sauce on the pulled pork…
It could have used a little bit more of that sauce to drizzle over the top. But overall, it was another delicious dinner.
We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. 😀🐷🥣❤️

It was so gorgeous outside this afternoon. The weather tablet in our office said it was an unseasonably warm 87º outside…
Oscar’s groomer was deemed non-essential when the closed all the Ohio businesses. He’s gotten so shaggy over the six weeks. And you could tell lately he’s just been really warm and uncomfortable…
So this afternoon we tried to give Oscar a haircut…
I’ve cut my hair twice so far during the stay home. It’s turned out pretty nice both times.
I thought, “How hard could it be to cut Oscar’s hair?”
It turns out that cutting Oscar’s hair is a lot harder…
I didn’t do a very good job. At all…
Dang. Sorry, buddy. I have a new respect for the amazing job Lauren at VCA College Hill does with Oscar.
Later, we fired up the grill again…
Those burgers were just out of this world. 😀🐾🍔🌭❤️
UPDATE: Oscar’s groomer has started to take appointments again starting May 13th and he has an appointment for Friday, May 15th. So he won’t have to be uncomfortable for much longer and maybe she can even out the mess I made of his coat.

We noticed on Instagram that Second Place has started selling their delicious bourbon slushes to go. So you know we had to get a couple of slushies…
I think they repainted the building next to Second Place…
And The Littlefield was open for carry-out as well…
And we sat out in our backyard and enjoyed our slushes…
Hopefully this mess will start to look better very soon…
And Oscar hopes so too…
What a great way to send a Friday evening. Ugly or not, I love our backyard. 😀🏡🍻❤️

Oscar was hanging out with me in our office again this afternoon…
He loves sitting on the arm of the sofa and looking out the window…
He’s so dang cute. 😀🐾❤️

We fired up the grill again this evening…
First, we grilled some marinated chicken breasts and onions…
And then we grilled some burgers…
And finally, hot dogs and bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers…
We had a huge grilled feast for dinner…
And the jalapeno poppers were delicious too!
YUM! Everything always tastes better on the grill. 😀🐔🌭🍔🥓🌶️❤️

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Creamy Chili Verde Chicken Penne with corn&poblano peppers…
It was another really delicious Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal. Their meals always combine such interesting ingredients. The creamy chili verde pasta with chicken and corn was all very tasty. And it had just the right amount of spicy. It was really good.

We saw another Northside sidewalk snail on our dog walk this morning…
Discovering little sidewalk snails on our morning dog walks are one of the best parts spring and summer in Northside. 😀🐌❤️

Our front yard is kind of a hot mess…
It doesn’t look too bad when the grass is mowed…
But it still needs some love. I think we finally have a plan for how to make it better. And this afternoon, we started ripping up the grass on the far side of our lawn…
We’re thinking about putting a little stone garden with some shrubs on the far side over what’s now dirt. We’re going to put some stepping stones through the middle of our yard connecting our steps with the sidewalk. And then, we’ll figure out how to get rid of the rest of the grass and replace it with clover and violets so we never have to mow our front yard again. We think it’s going to look really nice. 😀🏡❤️

Tonight was another Cincinnati social Front Porch Pours. The last time we were at the grocery, we got this bag of Malibu Rum Punch for tonight…
The dogs got to hang out with us on our front porch too…
When we were done with our drinks, we took the dogs for a walk around the block…
Good evening from Northside. 😀🍹🐾🌄❤️

Genifer made chocolate chip banana bread…
And we had chili mac with garlic bread for dinner…
And it was all very delicious. But the banana bread was better than the child mac.
😀🍫🍌🥣❤️
