We made BLTs for dinner tonight…
With turkey bacon…
And they were delicious…
BLTs are just some of the best sammiches. I wonder if I’m the only person that loves to put a slice of cheese on my BLT? But then again, I love to put cheese on just about everything. 😀🥪❤️

Good morning from Northside…
We stopped at Biggby for our weekend morning coffee…
We ran over to Home Depot to get some more stuff for our front yard…
Like this tomato and citronella…
This was our first trip to Home Depot in a long time. And it was also our last trip to Home Depot after we heard they pledged to back Orangey McLiarface’s bid for re-election in November. I should have guessed it with all the orange at Home Depot. We’ll just be shopping at Lowe’s from now on.
On our way back home, there was a train going by overhead…
We got this cute little shrub and planter at Home Depot with our gift card…
After working on our front yard, we fired up the grill…
Those burgers were from Whole Foods and they were out of this world good.
I think it would be interesting to do a coffee table book about the alleys in Northside…
Good evening from Northside…
We also planted some little purple flowers in front of our bricks…
Our front yard is looking a lot better than it did a year ago…
We had another pretty good Saturday. 😀🗓️❤️

Five years ago, we had Pizza Hut’s Big Dipper…
The Big Dipper was good stuff. Thanks for all the memories, Timehop. 😀🦕🍕❤️

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl with crispy wontons and peanuts…
It was really good. But I don’t know that it tasted like an egg roll really at all…
Even after you added the crispy wontons and peanuts…
I had one bite that kind of tasted like an egg roll. And that was it. It would have been a really good meal if you weren’t expecting it to taste like an egg roll. It was really good.
But it just didn’t taste like an egg roll to us. At all. Overall, it was just another really incredible dinner.
We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. 😀🥡❤️

Good morning from Northside. It looked like it was going to be overcast again…
We saw another Northside sidewalk snail on our dog walk this morning…
But Mack sniffed it and probably scared the heck out of the snail because it pulled itself inside its shell and did not want to come back out. A lot of times if you wait a couple minutes, they’ll slowly come back out of their shell. But not this one.
We walked to Sidewinder Coffee this morning to get some beverages…
I got an iced hot chocolate which is pretty much chocolate milk over ice. And Genifer had a lavender and vanilla iced latte with oat milk…
On our way home, we stopped to watch the machines on Pullan Avenue…
They’re replacing the water mains on all the streets on our side of Northside.
We noticed that Oscar hid one of the new Nylabones under the pillows on the sofa so Mack couldn’t find it. He’s very possessive when it comes to his toys…
Genifer made Chicken Ramen Stir-Fry for dinner…
It was delicious. I pretty much like anything with ramen and an Asian flair. She always finds the best recipes for dinners.
And finally, good evening from Northside…
Even though it ended up being overcast all day, it was still pretty good day. 😀❤️

This time for a bunch of marinated chicken thighs…
We also grilled the leftover chicken sausages and hot dogs from the propane grill…
YUM! Everything always tastes better on the grill. 😀🐔🌭❤️

And it was really delicious! Soooo good!
And then we had strawberry shortcake ice cream bars in our backyard…
Genifer always find the best recipes. 😀🇲🇽🌮🍦❤️

As Cincinnati restaurants begin to finally reopen, things like hand sanitizing stations, masked servers, and social distance–marked floors are all going to apparently be the new dining-out norm. On Friday, May 15, Ohio restaurants put many of these practices into place as they reopened their patios. And yesterday, they followed by opening their indoor dining room service too.
So after working on our front yard all day, we decided to treat ourselves and order pizza to eat AT Taft’s Brewpourium. The way we figured it, it was all pretty poetic…
The Brewpourium was the last restaurant we ate at before the pandemic closed everything for just over two long months. It was only fitting that the Brewpourium was the first place we ate when restaurants finally reopened…
We dropped off a whole bunch of old growlers for recycling…
I think we almost completely filled those first two boxes.
Please wait to be seated is also going to be the new normal…
We were shown to our table…
We made fancy pants reservations because we thought there would be a whole lot more people craving to eat AT the Brewpourium as much as we were…
We were wrong. But we didn’t care. We had the place all to ourselves last time. Why not have the place all to ourselves this time too?
Cheers to dining out again!
AND…
And, and, and… Taft’s Brewpourium had their incredible chicken wings back available. And I had been missing their wings so much. They weren’t available for online ordering during the shutdown. I almost ordered 12 wings. But there’s no way two people can eat 12 Brewpourium wings. No way. So we got 6 Cherrywood BBQ wings and a small white pizza with sausage. And it was amazing to be back out somewhere…
Their white pizza was seriously delicious…
After we finished eating, we just sat there and had a couple of beers and stared out their garage door windows that were wide open. And it was heavenly.
We’re really glad that all the restaurants, especially Taft’s Brewpourium are back open. 😀🍕🐔🍺❤️
We hope people are smart and use common sense when they’re out so that the inevitable second wave of COVID-19 is minimized as much as possible. But we weren’t not going to hold our breath. People are idiots.

Genifer made this amazing vegan caramelized mushroom pizza for dinner tonight…
It had a vegan garlic white sauce, with caramelized mushrooms, onions, and garlic. It was really good. Genifer always finds the best recipes to make for dinner. 😀🍕❤️

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Crispy Onion Crusted Pork Chops with green beans and butternut squash almondine…
The pork was tender and delicious. But the sauce and the butternut squash almondine was lights out dynamite bananas out of this world. Overall, it was just another really incredible dinner.
We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. 😀🐷🥣❤️
