We took the dogs on a walk once it stopped raining…
Good morning from Northside…
Mack brings me random dog toys throughout the day…
Our HelloFresh meal tonight was Chicken Sausage-Stuffed Zucchini Boats with couscous, tomato and herbs…
Ohmigosh. It was delicious. This evening the sun came out…
Good morning from Northside…
There was a little bunny at the bottom of the hill…
And tonight, we finally finished Game of Thrones. We’ve powering through all eight seasons, usually with three episodes a night. That show what seriously stressful. We were worried about the ending. We heard people were upset about it. But it kind of wrapped everything up with a neat little bow. It was a really good show but we’re pretty glad it’s over. 😀🌄🍽️🐰📺❤️
When we got home, we took the dogs round the block…
Good morning from Northside…
We ate this sausage alfredo flatbread for lunch…
Our HelloFresh arrived today…
Good evening from Northside…
For dinner, we ordered takeout from China Food…
China Food is so good. And then we sat out of our back patio and watched the end of the Olympics.
After 16 days, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics came to a close. The USA volleyball team won gold in the final event of the games to top China in the gold medal count and finish on top of the overall medal overall. The USA secured 21 overall medals in the final weekend to finish out the Olympic spectacle with 25 more medals than any other country. It’s been an exciting two weeks of lasting Olympic memories. And the pageantry of closing ceremonies was a spectacle of its own.
But between the time difference, repetitive programming, and the endless re-airing of events, these Olympics were the most exhausting, challenging and frustrating to try to watch. And while NBC tried to create an immersive and watchable experience, the modern world of social media shattered the old model of replaying and re-airing events.
Luckily for us fans of the Olympics, there are two positives about the next go-around. There’s only a three-year wait until the Paris Games. And they should provide an daytime schedule of live events. No matter what happens in 2024, it can’t get much worse than the much-missed Tokyo spectacle.
Still, we did the best we could to enjoy the heck out the Tokyo games. 😀🌄🍕🥡📺🏆❤️
Mack and Oscar were drinking out of the same water bowl again…
Our second HelloFresh meal of the week was One-Pan Portobello and Poblano Fajitas with pico de gallo and smoky red pepper crema…
So it was kind of Taco Tuesday…
This meal was another delicious one. But it was the spiciest HelloFresh meal we’ve had yet. We actually had to stop eating a couple of times to let our mouths cool off a bit.
We had one of our HelloFresh meals leftover from last week. So we had Brown Sugar Bourbon Chicken Salad with kale, apples, roasted carrots, sunflower seeds and honey dijon dressing…
After work, I ran over to the Kroger by our house to grab a couple of things. And look at the huge balloon options the neighborhood Kroger had…
For dinner tonight, we had our first HelloFresh dinner of the week. This one was One-Pan Trattoria Tortellini Bake with a crispy parmesan panko topping…
It was delicious especially since we added garlic bread to the meal…
