When we got home from the soccer game, we took the dogs on a walk around the block. I think there is something really beautiful about our neighborhood at night…









I love our neighborhood. ๐๐๐ทโค๏ธ

The last time we saw the MLS version of Red Bulls, they were abruptly ending the magical US Open Cup run of our FC|C in the semi-finals back in 2017. We were hoping that the new look, big-time MLS version of FC Cincinnati could exact a little revenge in their very first MLS league encounter at Nippert Stadium with the team from Harrison, New Jersey. FC|C played away to Red Bulls back in at the end of April and lost 1-0. And with the way this season of Cincinnati soccer is shaping up, we really weren’t holding our breath…
















And at the half, it was still 0-0…


It was a really beautiful night for a soccer match…







And Red Bulls ended up pulling off a 2-0 win with goals in the 78th and 90th+1 minutes. ๐โค๏ธโฝ๏ธ

On our way home from work tonight, we stopped at Northside Distilling Company for a happy hour drink…

I’m in love with their White Russian called The Dude. It’s one of my favorite drinks in all of Cincinnati. And it was an Old Fashioned for Genifer. She love’s a good Old Fashioned…

I finally got a few decent photos of one of the cherries for our drink being carmelized…




Northside Distilling Company makes some pretty outstanding cocktails. ๐๐ฅโค๏ธ

I ran out to get something for lunch. (I got a caesar salad fromย MidiCiย at Race and Sixth Streets. It was really good.) On my way back to the office, I noticed this new-to-me mural for the very first time…

I don’t if it’s really a true mural though. It kind of looked like it was painted on board or some sort of substrate and then mounted to the building’s facade. Nonetheless, it’s pretty neat. ๐๐๏ธ๐จ๐ทโค๏ธ

Yesterday’s rainy evening carried over into this morning. It looked really threatening when we were taking the dogs out on their morning walk before work…


On our way downtown, it didn’t look any better…

And by the time I got upstairs to work, it was raining again…


But the good news is, I made myself this breakfast sammich croissant at work…

It was delicious. And later, there was strawberry birthday cheesecake at work…

So it’s all good.ย ๐โ๏ธ๐ง๏ธ๐ฅโค๏ธ

Almost every Thursday on our way home from work, we stop at Queen City Radio for a beer and one of their amazing Whip Classic burgers. This week we couldn’t wait and decided to stop at QCR on a rainy Wednesday…

I’ve also been really liking their cheese coney lately. I think their Whip Classic is one of the absolute best burgers in all of Cincinnati.ย ๐๐๐๐ญโค๏ธ

It had been pretty sunny all day until it was just about time to go home. Then it got all grey and overcast and started to rain…


Bleh. ๐โ๏ธโ๏ธโค๏ธ

When I was walking around downtown Cincinnati today, I stumbled across another one of those little (what I’m calling)ย #CincyStreetBots…


But it was so long ago and I’m sooo far behind on our blog that I can’t remember where exactly in downtown Cincinnati that I saw this one. And that’s a bummer. ๐๐คโค๏ธ

On our way home tonight, we stopped at the Sam Adams taproomย for happy hour…

And we noticed that the Mexi-Q Mexican BBQ food truck was out on Sam Adams patio tonight. We’ve never tried anything from Mexi-Q food truck before. Mexican meets BBQ? I had a feeling that this was going to be awesome…




Genifer ordered a Veggie Burrito Bowl…


And I ordered the Spicy Mexican Mac…


It was really good! You can’t beat delicious food stuffs from a food truck that you’ve never had the chance to try before. Especially when it’s Mexican and BBQ, two of my very favorite food groups. ๐๐บ๐ฏโค๏ธ

We saw a couple more snails on our dog walk this morning…


I wonder where all these snails come from and where are they heading to? ๐๐โค๏ธ
