It was another really delicious meal. All the meatloaf dinners we’ve tried have been outstanding. This was yet another meal that would have gone really well with garlic bread. But I’ve been told that not every meal needs to have garlic bread with it. Still, we like theย Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kitsย a lot.
Genifer had to go into her office today. And this morning our third-floor WyzeCam captured a fire truck on our street for a moment…
We’ve been looking for a new vet because we were getting tired of the one we had been going to up in College Hill. And Mack is still not great in the car. He’s getting better. But he’s still not great. Genifer found Dr. Mike’s Mobile Veterinary Service on the interwebs. And they came right to our house…
They were great! They looked over our guys. Checked out Mack’s ears, Oscar’s cough and knee. Everything was good. They gave us home remedies to try for Mack’s ears. And the allergy medicine the dogs take was a lot cheaper from Dr. Mike. I think we just found a new vet!
It kind of figures that 2020 is going out with a gloomy, overcast day…
Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to Trader Joe’s this morning to pick up a few things…
We used one of our Trader Joe’s gift cards…
Thanks, mom & dad!
Trader Joe’s has the best taco sauce. Last time we were at TJ’s, they were all sold out of taco sauce. Thankfully, today they restocked and there was plenty…
Did we mention we had a Trader Joe’s gift card?
Trader Joe’s was having an employee gingerbread house contest…
This one was my favorite…
Ha. This is fine. And then we went to Biggby to get New Years Eve coffee…
Mack was all crashed out in our studio office…
We walked over to Northside Tavern for a couple of New Years Eve drinks…
It was nice to get out of the house for a bit and have some fun. On our walk home, we stopped by Kitchen Factory to get a couple of slices…
And our slices didn’t even make it home. We ate them while we were walking and they were deliciousโฆ
We took the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
Our plan we to stay up to watch the ball drop on TV. But we nodded off on our sofa. I woke up a couple of minutes before midnight. Genifer had already gone upstairs. I let the dogs out in the backyard just as the clock hit midnight. A whole bunch of cheers and noise makers could be as the clock struck midnight. And then there were some firework popped up all over the sky. And my cameras were on the dining table because I was just going to let the dogs out before heading upstairs. Oh well. I’m just happy that we can get a fresh start in the morning.
We hope everyone had a happy and safe New Years Eve. ๐๐โ๏ธ๐พ๐ป๐๐๐๐โค๏ธ
Genifer has to work a couple of days this week. But I have the entire week off work…
Good morning from Northside…
I worked on organizing our studio office today…
Sometimes it’s hard to get Mack to come downstairs to go on walks…
Good evening from Northside…
We hadย another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This one was Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Alfredo Penne with mozzarella. Again. We wanted to get a different meal this time. The one we wanted was something-something Caesar chicken. But I grabbed the wrong one out of the refrigerated case at the grocery…
It was another really good meal. We just wished it was a different one. But it was still a really good dinner. And we got to enjoy some more garlic bread. And I love garlic bread. We like theย Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kitsย a lot. And Genifer made these deep dish chocolate chip cookies…
Ohmigosh. They were so good. We paired them with little chocolate swirl ice cream cups. It was a really great dessert. The dogs new toys have their fist casualty. Oscar gnawed off one of the eyes of the avocado toy…
We had another pretty good day. Hopefully, this will be a very low-key, relaxing week at home. ๐๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐พโค๏ธ
MERRY CHRISTMAS! It was a chilly Christmas in Cincinnati…
And we woke up to a white Christmas…
We got the dogs a bunch of new dog toys and blankets for Christmas…
I took a little video of the dogs coming in from outside to discover all their new toys…
And now the dogs have a very full box of toys…
After the dogs got to play with their toys for a bit, we took them out on their walk…
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made Magic Middles for breakfast this morning…
Magic Middles are delicious…
After breakfast, we opened our presents and exchanged our gifts. My parents sent us this hilarious 2020 ornament…
A huge thank you so much to my mom & dad for all our wonderful Christmas gifts…
There was a bit of debate over this advent calendar…
I thought we should start at one, count along with the days and end on twenty-five. Genifer thought we should start on twenty-five and countdown to one and end on the star. And you can see who won that debate…
This afternoon we headed up to West Chester to celebrate Christmas with Geri. We took some shrimps, a meat & cheese tray, a whole bunch of dippers and that was our Christmas dinner. We had a wonderful time spending the afternoon with her.
When we got home, we took the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
After the dog’s were done with the freezing cold walk, we watched a bunch of basketball and called it a day. We had a really wonderful Christmas day. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as well. ๐๐โค๏ธ
And Mack was on his new dog bed the entire time I was in our studio office…
This happened rather unexpectedly…
We took the dogs out for their evening walk around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
Genifer made a bunch of delicious Christmas cookies…
We wrapped our Christmas presents. Mack watched to make sure I was doing it right…
And we put all of our presents under our tree…
Tonight, we watched The Midnight Skyon Netflix. A movie about outer space with George Clooney. I thought it was good. Genifer didn’t really care for it.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Merry Christmas Eve. ๐๐๐ง๏ธ๐๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐โค๏ธ
This morning we ran out to get some Christmas Eve Eve Biggby coffee…
We ran around a little bit to do some last minute Christmas shopping…
We got some odds and ends stuff. And a bunch of new dog toys for Oscar & Mack. I also got Mack a new dog bed and Snoopy blanket to go in our studio office where he sleeps a lot. I snuck his new bed upstairs while he was outside…
I showed him his new dog bed and he pretty much spent the rest of the day lounging on it…
While I was hanging out in the studio office with Mack, I decided to check out day 23 of my Lego City Advent Calendar…
NYPD hoagiesare so good. And their fries were even better than normal tonight.
We dragged Mack off his new dog bed to take the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
After he got his treats, Mack was right back upstairs, crashed out on his new dog bed…
This evening, we finished the second season of Mindhunter on Netflix. It was a really good series. We hope they get around to making a third season someday. But it probably won’t be anytime soon.
And Mack was still sleeping on his new dog bed…
We hope everyone had a Happy Merry Christmas Eve Eve! ๐๐๐๏ธ๐พ๐ฅช๐โค๏ธ
Shannon ordered us some Urban Artifact beers for Christmas. This evening we ran over to UA to pick up our order. We were really excited to see what she got us…
And there’s our order…
On our way back home, we stopped to pick up dinner from The Kitchen Factory…
When we got home with our dinner, the sunset looked so pretty from our backyard…
And tben it was back to our dinner from Kitchen Factory…
Genifer ordered their Veggie Meatball Hoagie…
I ordered the Baked Chicken Pesto Hoagie…
We both ordered the pasta salad as our side. And it came in a condiment container…
It was less of a side and more of a mouthful of pasta salad. Still, it was really good. We just wished there was more of it. We also ordered a side of their Famous Vegan Mac & Cheese…
Our dinner was sooo good. The hoagies were amazing! We’ll definitely be ordering from Kitchen Factory again. We’ll have to order a couple of their pizzas sometime as well.
Genifer made some incredible seven-layer bars for dessert…
Now that our bellies are full, let’s take a look to see what Shannon got us…
Wow! Those sound like some delicious beers! We placed them under our Christmas tree. And we can’t wait to try them! Thanks, Shannon!
We’ve been watching Mindhunter on Netflix. It’s about the origins of the FBI’s Behavioral Sciences Unit in the late ’70s. It’s been a really good show so far.
And we had a really good Sunday. ๐๐๐พ๐บ๐ฅช๐บโค๏ธ
